New Tithes Project Manager

A new project for the Mission has been started on Tithes.  As explained in the Tithes project description, the purpose of this project is:

Promoting and answering questions about tithes (God's Commandment that 10% of one's gross income belongs to Him).  Since the Mission is the Last Revelation from God and is the Revealer of the Mystery of God and the Implementer of God's Will and Kingdom, It is the only Religion (organization) that everyone should be giving their tithes to.

The goal of this project is to bring a greater awareness of and emphasis on this important Commandment, which is a great part of following Maitreya's teachings and God's Word.  This Mission is huge and needs many resources.  No matter how much we love the Mission, think about it, talk about it, etc., it will never manifest without financial and material support!  If we want to see the Mission to manifest, we need to create a culture of tithing in the Mission where this is done by everyone automatically as their second nature.
 

The project manager for this project will be Ananda Ma (Ma), who has been paying tithes for many years and is a strong believer of their importance and beneficial effect, both on the Mission and on the one who tithes ("Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it" Malachi 3:10). 

Please read Ma's article about the Law of Tithing in this Newsbrief.  Also contact her if you have any questions about or would like to help with this new Tithes project.
