Do you expect a tax refund this year? You have a choice. You can take "your" money and use it on yourself. Maybe you can use it pay off debt. Maybe invest it to make more money. Maybe do something or go somewhere you wouldn't normally.
Another option is to use it for greater good. Do something for someone else whom you might not even know. This year my wife and I have chosen to use the money that God has blessed us with to do more good. We have intentionally chosen to make a difference by helping with projects and needs. We are doing more than giving spontaneously.
Have you seen the commercials that make you aware of all the "things" that are available and telling you that you need them and want them now? Instead of giving to yourself, why not do something special?
Have I intrigued you? Star of Hope has a number of projects that will really make a difference. Here is partial list.
- $360 will provide access to school for a child for a whole school year
- $250 will provide a window for a church under construction in Haiti or Argentina
- $6,000 will put a Bible in the hands of 300 children and provide teaching materials
- $15,000 will provide for auditing and licensing to keep us growing here in the USA
- $25,000 will finish the roof on a church in Argentina
- $25,000 will fund a school based community health pilot project
- $100,000 will complete repairs on 3 Haitian Churches
- $150,000 will build a building for the new children's home
- $2.5 million will build a Christian youth complex
