Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
In this week’s edition, we share the story of Greg Horton, who was trapped in a crashed plane. With fuel spilling around him, he saw more clearly than ever that only two things truly mattered: his relationship with God and his loved ones. Read how God used this near-death revelation to refocus Greg’s purpose on kingdom work and blessing others.
When it comes to your giving, selecting the right vehicle for your generosity is a critical decision. Would a private foundation, a donor-advised fund, or a supporting organization be the best choice? Here’s a chart to help you compare the details and choose what’s right for you.
Janice Munemitsu grew up learning generosity from her parents and grandfather, who modeled “give what you have,” though they didn’t have much cash. As farmers, they shared the best from their strawberry harvest with friends each year. When, as an adult, Janice asked the Lord, “What do you want me to give?” she discovered she was being challenged to reexamine whose provision she was abiding in.
“Honor the Lord with your wealth, and with the first
fruits of all your produce.”
– Proverbs 3:9
