HOW TO
BECOME
A SOWER?

WHAT IS A SOWER?
A Sower is an individual or group who supports the MCTC
community through financial and material donations, prayer and
emotional support. We strongly believe that a healthy
Christ-centered community is built not only by a small group of
leaders but also by a community of supporters who shares a
common vision and heart.

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and
increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You
will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and

through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”

II Cor 9:10-11 (NIV)
