Guest: Bob Moffitt | Julian Gibb interviews Bob Moffitt of the Harvest Foundation, Phoenix.  Bob Moffitt recounts the history of the Harvest Foundation in empowering local churches around the world.  "This idea ran counter to the idea that resources for relief and development should come from the outside. I felt it would be a more powerful witness of the gospel if the churches who were coordinating that gave from their own resources, rather than using resources from the outside world. One of the key foundations of Harvest was to challenge those local churches to sacrificially give what they already had to do the relief and development work. It was not only to equip them to minister in their own communities, but to encourage them to see what God would do as they sacrificially gave of the much smaller resource base than was coming from the outside." Bob continues, "In Isaiah we read that God takes our weakness and He turns it into strength. It's a miraculous intervention of God to multiply the resources that we have, even though they're very small, and we feel they may not be enough to support ourselves in terms of our own needs. It's an act of God's supernatural intervention to our obedience to give what we have."  Bob also shares part of his personal testimonial, "It's my relationship with Jesus that means more to me than anything else because of what He's done for me. And I love him. And that love doesn't always perfectly express itself, but when I meditate and realize that Jesus is the sovereign God of the universe, and He not only created me, he loves me.  Because of His love for me, I want to honor Him and when I do, He supernaturally changes the selfish gene. The power doesn't come from me; it comes from God that is incarnate in me."  www.harvestfoundation.org
