Press on Toward the Goal is a month-long emphasis designed both to enrich our biblical understanding of Christian stewardship and to foster our own spiritual growth. Rather than focusing on the need of the church to receive, the experience concentrates on the need of the giver to give for his or her own spiritual development.
