The new budget for 1979 was approved at the Adven- tists’ Annual Council in .Wash- ington, D.C, It earmarked well over half of the total budget for overseas missions, comments Zinner. In ancient times, Zinner states, the Israelites gave a double tithe or tenth of their profits — to the coffers of the religious establishment. Many Seventh-day Adventists follow the same practice, with the first tenth ‘of the individual mem- ber’s income used primarly for support of the clergy and mis- sionaries, the second tenth going for capital needs, ad- ministrative requirements, operations of health and edu- cational facilities, as well as the evangelistic outreach of the church. “We have found,” says Zinner, “that you can’t really ‘outgive’ God. The more you give to His work, the more He blesses.
