Giving Plan
October 4, 2019
I’m Miriam Neff-with STARTING OVER FINANCIALLY,-and I’m Valerie Neff Hogan, and we’re here to talk about money.
M Are you experiencing the joy of generosity? I watched a friend’s face as she finalized giving to an entity that equips people for vocational ministry. Her smile was as broad as mine when I water ski!
V One helpful tool for planning our giving is Ron Blue’s book, Splitting Heirs. He makes giving grid including evangelism, discipleship, the poor, widows, and orphans. His grid gives places: city, state, country, world, and amount. Life experiences and our hard times are God promptings. For example, Widow Connection, through skill training of young widows in developing countries, has improved the lives of their orphaned children. Mom being a widow with adopted children influenced those out reaches.
M Create your giving plan and act! You’ll reap the joy of generosity.
