SECOND STEP: TALK TO SOMEONE

On May 3, two NECers gave our community a chance to respond to the message on generosity. Out of a love for their church, they challenged us to give regularly to NEC, promising to match up to $75,000 of new or increased recurring donations through August 31. Their hope is that it would both help people practice generosity and provide for the practical financial needs of the church at the same time.

A first great step to joining the challenge is very easy but takes intention: Pray about it. Bounce the topic of God and open yourself up to God’s leading. The second step? Talk to someone…let them in on your thinking.
