Echo Church / Rochester MN

Doug and Debbie, share on how offering, tithes, giving above and beyond is another means of worship for them. Their heart for the Lord and to see John 12:44 - "light to shine in the darkness" in every area of their lives, those around them and others inspires them to keep pressing into the Lord. Seeking him through prayer, worship, and reading the Bible helps guide them as they navigate not only their day to day lives but in their financial giving to the church, community, others and beyond.
