Welcome
The Affluent Believer (Ministry)
TAB applies the Gospel of Jesus Christ and teachings on the Kingdom of Heaven in order to help our members grow Spiritual Wealth.
We do this by providing biblical support targeting the specific faith needs of those who have been entrusted with great material wealth and influence.

Why single out "Affluent" believers for ministry?
The Affluent Believer's perspective is that our God is not a respector of persons yet He is ordered and places specific people in the specific places of His choosing for His specific purposes. Those chosen to walk the halls of palaces like King David are no less valid Christians than those living in poverty, as Jesus often seemed to.
The Affluent, Rich, Wealthy and Influential are a unique minority of the Body of Christ with unique challenges, responsibilities and potentials. Of no other class of believers does Jesus say how nearly impossible it is for them to enter into the Kingdom of God. Moreover, how frequent is it written that there are great temptations and perils associated with material wealth and the power of money.
Therefore is there no more deserving and needy segment of Believers to support with prayer, encouragement, teaching and mentoring in the word.
True Affluence
True affluence, to the Follower of Christ, has nothing to do with material wealth at all but is Jesus Himself and the Eternal Life we attain in Him alone. This world around us is quickly passing away and the treasures we are storing in heaven are not denominated in any worldly currency. Yet, we are in this world and the Bible clearly teaches a means of converting our worldly treasures (e.g. time, money, possessions, talents, etc.) into Kingdom Gold per Rev. 3. The chief 'treasure' is our own eternal life, secondarily it is saving the eternal souls of those around us and beyond that it is pleasing or worshiping God by obeying him.
We all are Laborers
The Affluent Believer, like all Believers, has a specific vineyard or field that he has been placed in to do labor. Additionally, the Bible is very clear that each of us is given specific talents and equipping's to produce and harvest an increase for God. This crucial truth should inform us how to live and thrive for God in the places he plants us.
The world of the Affluent, much less the Very Affluent, is a complex but crucial vineyard for the few Followers of Christ that are sent there. Thank God that our hope lies solely in the Holy Spirit doing the work in and through us so that our victory is assured.
