Generosity – What’s Your Story?

Read Romans 15:24-29

Everyone loves a good story. This month, instead of providing you with a stewardship devotional, I’d like to encourage you to write a brief story of generosity. I know you have one. When did you help someone in need, or come alongside a missionary or youth project with financial resources?  Perhaps you can’t think of a time you were generous.  Can you think of a time someone was generous to YOU?

I want to encourage you to prayerfully consider these questions and write down your story of generosity on our website at www.mbfoundation2.staging.wpengine.com/GivingChallenge.  I believe you’ll be blessed as you recall this story of generosity and perhaps, it will inspire you to greater heights of generosity in the days ahead!  And like the Apostle Paul, our stories of generosity will enable us to live “in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.”

By the way, from now through April, we’ll be collecting stories of generosity…your stories! Every story entered will automatically be entered to win $5,000 to give away to the charity(ies) of the winner’s choosing!  We aren’t evaluating the stories.  Every story has an equal chance of winning.  Enter as many stories as you’d like to increase your chances of winning.  Share the Giving Challenge with your friends.  I believe that as we tell our stories, we’ll be encouraged in our generosity and more people will see the love of Christ in us.
