Book excerpt: "This study . . . assessed the current financial situation of some churches in the Bukidnon District with the purpose of looking at how to present ways to improve the financial stewardship of the churches in the District. The author endeavored to secure necessary data for the assessment in spite of the ongoing pandemic. The work employed library research utilizing printed materials as well as electronic sources via the internet. The researcher coordinated with the pastors in charge of the selected churches. The pastors were responsible for identifying individuals and study groups. They supervised and tapped into the leadership of lay leaders in the facilitation of the Bible Studies. Most of the local church participants experienced a minimum of two- month lockdown in the earlier stage of the pandemic and this affected their income. Many of the participants have found the Bible Study on stewardship helpful and are recommending that all church members should undergo the same Bible study so that the financial giving in their church may grow. There are several respondents who said that they have not been part of any study on Biblical stewardship before and also acknowledge that they never heard it preached by pastors. The study suggests that given considerable attention, stewardship ministry will be able to elevate the ministries of the local churches in the Bukidnon District. The study also suggests that stewardship is not being promoted vigorously." -- Leaf [2].
