The 10 Day Give kickoff is next Thursday and I wanted to share a little bit about why I started it last year and why I am doing it again this year. If you have any questions, please leave them in the comments and I really hope you can join us in giving this year!
WHY WE ARE DOING IT
The purpose behind the 10 Day Give it is to give people an opportunity to:
- Change the lives of those around you
- Change your own life by better understanding the joy of giving
- Make the world a better place one gift at a time
WHAT YOU’LL GET FROM IT
Everyone understands that the laws of gravity will cause a baseball thrown into the air to return to earth. The same creator of gravity says that when you give it will be given back to you (Luke 6:38). This law applies to everyone and is just as true as the laws of gravity.
Just as you can be certain of hitting the ground after jumping from a rooftop, you can be confident that when you give, it will come back to you. Obviously, that shouldn’t be the motivation behind giving, but it is a law that we can choose to either fight against or benefit from it.
Interestingly, God so strongly desires that we understand this law, that the only context in which testing God was condoned in the Bible was in the area of giving. He really wants people to understand the power in giving. I can tell you from personal experience that every time I have given more than I wanted to or felt like I could, surprising and unexpected increase always followed it. Sometimes in the form of an unexpected raise at work, sometimes money given to me by others, or sometimes just a discovery that leads to huge savings. But since I have been watching to see the law in action, it has been always been proved true.
These are just a few things you can expect to get if you join us…
- The satisfaction of seeing a little effort on your part yield a lot of joy in the lives of others.
- The assurance that what you sow you will reap – it will come back around.
- A chance to win a variety of random giveaways (iPods, Amazon.com giftcards, and more!)
- You will get to have your name/website/shoe size or whatever you want proudly displayed on the 10 Day Give page for all the world to see.
- After complete the challenge, you will receive a badge that you can display on your website/Facebook/Myspace to show your friends how cool you are!
