Our Vision

Our Vision

Giving is at the foundation of the Christian world-view, and has been a hallmark of civilized societies from the beginning of history. The best known verse in the Bible is John 3:16 which states “God so love the world that He gave His only begotten Son.”

Giving liberates the giver from the hold of money. Giving blesses the recipient and creates a virtuous cycle. As Jesus himself taught, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

This site is dedicated to helping facilitate the impact of responsible giving, as well as providing simple ideas on how to start on the joyful journey of generosity.

Most major faith groups, and many people with no faith at all, share a commitment to generous giving. We hope this site blesses you on your journey even as we have been blessed in our own journey into generosity.

 

Our Values

  1. Anyone can do this!
    • No one needs man’s permission to do what God is putting on their hearts. So if any of these ideas resonate with you, don’t wait for us but do all that God puts on your hearts.
    • Here is a good starting place as you begin this journey. “A Simple Guide To Hearing God“, is a free e-book written by Felicity Dale. This book will help you hear the Lord for yourself.
  2. All Are Welcome!
    • We recognize that generosity encompasses a board range of charitable and educational endeavors, as well as, direct Christian ministries. We welcome you to take part in our community whether you desire to give to humanitarian, charitable causes or to Christian ministries.
  3. Tools and Training
    • We want to provide simple tools, such as this website, to help people understand the principles that we have been learning over the past three years.
    • We welcome you to join our movement towards generous giving. If any of the tools on this site are helpful to you, put them to use.
  4. Collaboration
    • If you have ideas on how we can make this movement more effective, please share those ideas with us.
    • Just as you will see us put ideas on these pages about projects that we have found effective, so your Giving Circle is welcome to share other projects that the Lord is putting on your hearts. All that we ask is that the projects fit within the boundaries established by WaterStone, who provide the umbrella of the 501(c)(3)Public Charity structures that we use to facilitate our giving.
  5. Organic Movement
    • This community will thrive when people spontaneously share about it with their own network of friends and family around them. Please pass on information about this site to anyone that you believe shares in our passion to see their financial blessings impact this world in a way that glorifies Jesus.
