Give

“Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” — 2 Corinthians 9:7 (NIV)

In this famous verse, Paul reminds the Corinthians that God delights in willing, cheerful givers. Giving is a joy and a privilege, not a burdensome obligation. St John invites you to give with that same joyful heart to bring care, education, and hope to families in need.

See what God can do through your generosity!

“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” — Matthew 25:40 (NIV)
