What is the general response to PAR?
Some of the original congregations have been using PAR for almost 25 years now. Very few givers who join the PAR program decide to leave it. It is very convenient and it allows them to give consistently. The program usually grows in local congregations once the word starts to spread. By January 2006 there were over 45,000 PAR givers representing more than 1,600 congregations.
