Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
When Helen Young Hayes retired from a career on Wall Street, she didn’t expect to receive a call from God to start a nonprofit. Once she determined how he was leading her, she put all her business acumen to work serving the poor and marginalized. Learn why she considers her work “holy” and an example of how believers should “inconvenience” themselves on behalf of the marginalized in their communities.
Join us at Generous Giving’s annual Celebration of Generosity, April 23 – 25, in Orlando, to experience the power, joy, freedom, impact, and purpose of generosity. With teaching from Dr. Crawford Loritts, Mark Batterson, and Ann Voskamp, this event is designed to spark conversation and deepen community with other generous Christians. Connect with God and his people, and discover how he changes hearts and enables his people to change the world.
Ladies, if you’re searching for a way to be equipped and empowered for a life of purposeful generosity, the next Women Doing Well Pathway might be just what you’re looking for. Beginning March 5, this 12-week cohort experience will help you gain confidence in your purpose and identify what you’re passionate about so you’re enabled to live more generously.
In our survey of Christian givers, 45% of women responded that they are the primary decision-makers for giving in their family (versus 38% of men). You can find the full story in our research report, “The changing landscape of Christian giving.”
