The Wesley Community Center:

2 Corinthians 8:1-5 And now brothers, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. Out of the most severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the saints. And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves first to God’s will.

2 Corinthians 8:15 As it is written:”He who gathered much did not have too much, and he who gathered little did not have too little.”
