The Value of a Friend and True Partnership

 

Two are better than one,The Value of a Friend and True Partnership
Because they have a good reward for their labor.

For if they fall, one will lift up his companion.
But woe to him who is alone when he falls,

For he has no one to help him up.
Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm;

But how can one be warm alone?

Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him.
And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

 ~ Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 (NKJV)

At Curt Landry Ministries we truly believe that we will be rewarded for our labor together with our partners and friends. We may be physically going, speaking, teaching, and loving, but we are equipped to do this because of the generous and obedient hearts of our supporters, specifically our Covenant Partners.

We can say “yes!” when needs arise because we know that we can count on faithful partners and friends. We know our Covenant Partners are committed to the ministry and most importantly the Kingdom.

Covenant PartnersAs companions we lift one another up. We encourage you with the Word of God, and you encourage us, and you encourage us with your monthly promise of commitment.

“But how can one be warm alone?”

Warmth is a basic need. Friends, we need each other. Truly.

And together we create a threefold cord that is not easily broken:

You, me, and Yeshua.

Together we are strong! We can withstand. And we are not quickly broken.

Partnership: alignment. Friendship. Accountability. Unity of purpose and direction.

That is how I would describe our Covenant Partner family.

We are aligned. We are friends. We are accountable.

“So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase.” -1 Cor 3:7 (NKJV)

Every part of the body of Christ has a job and we all have a responsibility that has been assigned to us (Ecc 4:9). However, the end result of our unified efforts belong to God—He gives Covenant Partnersthe increase. He breathes the increases. He releases the increase.

“Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor.” – 1 Cor 3:8 (NKJV)

“He who plants and he who waters are one”—we have a unity of purpose! Yes, there are different tasks and responsibilities but we are serving towards the same Kingdom goal.

And we will each be rewarded as such. Sowing into the result gives us reward in the outcome.

Partnership isn’t about money. It is about souls, meeting basic needs, being a voice of truth and most importantly Yeshua’s love demonstrated.

We are building on the common foundation that God laid through Jesus, the foundation built on by the disciples and the Apostle Paul and so many others before us….this ancient seed is our foundation today and we share the same direction, purpose, and even some of the same tasks, even though the avenues and methods are different.

We are simply using different means to reach a common goal: salvation. 

“ For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father Covenant Partnerswith His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works. “ – Matthew 16:26-27

Our Covenant Partner family is truly a treasured ministry asset. We simply could not do what we do without them…without YOU.

So to our dear partners we say: thank you.

And to those prayerfully considering committing to the journey with us I know you will be blessed when you watch THIS VIDEO.
