I wanted to answer a few common questions about the 10 Day Give – Starting Thursday, October 1st!…
Why are you doing it?
The main reason is that I like to maintain an attitude of giving to those around me. It is easy to get caught up in the daily grind and overlook all the people around us whose lives we can make better. By getting hundreds of you involved with us, we can have a huge impact on the world around us. I believe that just like the movie Pay it Forward suggested, little acts of kindness really do change the world.
Where do I sign up?
Right here… http://christianpf.com/10daygive
Is this a fund-raiser for ChristianPF?
Not at all, this is not about giving to ChristianPF. It is all about giving to people in your sphere of life – making the lives of those around you better. In fact, ChristianPF gives stuff away to random 10 Day Givers, so it is like the opposite of a fund-raiser. 
What if I don’t have money to give?
Give your time or anything you have that can be translated into value to someone else. Get creative. There is a lot more that you can give other than money.
Do I have to sign up?
Nope, you don’t have to, you could do it on your own. But, isn’t it so much more fun being part of a group that is all working towards a common goal? Also, having your name listed on the 10 Day Give Homepage may be additional incentive to make sure you follow through.
What else can I do to help?
- Encourage others to sign up
- Write about it on your website (Let me know if you do, so I can link back to you as a Partner Site)
- Put a banner or badge up on your website (Get one here)
Helpful Tips for completely your 10 Day Give
- Start saving ASAP – it will be a lot easier to give if you have money saved up in advance.
- Fill your wallet up with cash, so you can always dole out some cash if you need to…
- I love giving to strangers, but sometimes they can be freaked out. So, proceed with caution!
- If you think your giving could freak someone out, do it anonymously. This can be very fun. You can almost turn it into a James Bond type challenge not to get caught!
- Plan out your giving in advance, but be ready when a moment of inspiration strikes.

Hello Bob,
Just wanted to let you know I wrote about the 10 Day Give on my site here:

Bob,
Thanks for organizing and putting together the 10 Day Give! It’s a great idea.
I’m in for the 10 day give! posted about it today. Thanks for spearheading the effort Bob!
Wow, it seems like today I’ve been hit by calls to give more than usual. It’s definitely an area of my life where I need work: giving out of obedience and to honor the Lord instead of giving to see results.
I’m looking forward to getting creative over the next ten days of giving.
