His transportation is already cheap. At 8000 for a month and working from Mon-Fri and using 20 working days, that comes to 400 daily which is 200 to/fro. So the transport cost is reasonable. Was even surprised that it is that cheap to VI.

The offering is for the whole family..2kids 100 each me n wifey 200 each x 4

SirVintageCock:
This, right here shows that the traditional family settings as we know it is becoming null and void in this century. Men can no longer fend for our families without relying heavily in our wives. Practically, 80% of the commenters are requesting to know what the wife is bringing to the table without checking that the list does not contain any nanny or house help allowances. So obviously the wife is contributing massively albeit unnoticeably.
So op, weigh your options and drop the church AID that is zapping 15% of your salary.
As others opines, encourage your wife to start up something from home depending on how young your children are ..handiwork, small scale businesses or teaching home lessons. Anything apart from this will incure more expenses to your already dwindling economy.
You can also transfer to a less expensive city or state.

I would say leave your tithe to God alone, it is (for me) one way to honour and thank Him for blessing/giving us what we have in the first place. He is the giver of the gift, do not start to like or cherish the gift more than the giver.

Secondly, our tithes/offering are meant to help the poor, needy and less privileged in our churches as well as further the work of God's kingdom on earth.

Even if our churches have failed or are failing to do the above, we shouldn't fail as true believers to do good, do right and do well by God. He doesn't need our money to bless us or still love us, but I think it honours/pleases him when we respond to Him in little ways like this.

You can still help the poor, needy and less privileged in your own way if you choose to, but I have seen the good work my home church does through outreach ministries to prisons, to children of fathers in prison, widows, orphans etc and I appreciate what we are able to do together as the people of God, more people are helped when we pool resources together rather than trying to do stuff on our own as one person.

I struggled with paying my tithes/offering to my church at one point but when I saw video evidence and heard testimonies of lives touched, helped and transformed it brought tears to my eyes and it gingered me to continue giving because others benefit from our collective effort.

A lady I know rarely struggles with paying her bills. She's a single mother raising her child by herself, she always has her son's school fees on time, house rent on time (even her landlord said I have never had a tenant like you ) does international travel frequently etc. Pls note she is not working with a multinational or doing sugar daddy runs to survive, when I asked her how she is able to stay on top of these bills, she pointed me to scripture, the part where it says in particular that the devourer will not devour you if you honour God with your resources.

Sorry this got longer than I intended but I like to share true life stories when it comes to God to encourage and build others up.

AmericanDad:
