Cheerful Giving

One of my great joys is serving generous Christians who find it fun to give. Consistently, Barnabas Foundation works with clients who embody these instructions from the Apostle Paul:

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work.”

(1 Corinthians 9:7-8, NIV)

When we recognize how abundantly we’ve been blessed—and all the ways God can use those blessings for eternal good—giving becomes a cheer-filled activity!

In this issue, you will read a story about a couple who finds great joy and peace in giving beyond their lifetimes. You’ll also read practical tips for how you, too, can give in fun, impactful and God-honoring ways.

I pray the words of this issue encourage you! If we can further assist you in your generosity journey, it would be our cheer-filled honor.
