Changing the World $1 at a Time
How long does it take you to spend $1?
By the time I drive to the office in the morning, I have managed to do this many times over. A cup of coffee, some breakfast food, and certainly the gas I use for the trip all reveal how quickly a dollar can be spent.
While a dollar may pass by easily for us, it has incredible power to impact change in the lives of millions of people around the world. Give Every Day is a new campaign designed to challenge us to think about what it really means to be Christian stewards. ERDO, in partnership with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, is asking what we could accomplish with a lifestyle of generous giving.
The goal is ambitious - if every adult member of the PAOC committed to giving just $1 a day, we would raise $60 million a year. I don’t need to tell you the kind of difference that money could make in the lives of the children, women and men that ERDO works with in the world’s poorest regions. What’s important is not whether or not we can spare a dollar, but rather what our responsibility is to care for those in need.
Please take a few minutes and visit the Give Every Day site, or donate now. I believe you will be as encouraged and inspired as I am as to what we could accomplish with such a simple act.
When you wake up tomorrow, why not reflect on your daily activities and consider how quickly you are able to spend a dollar. Then think of how that same dollar could provide a child with wholesome food, a solid education and hope for their future.
With that in mind, can we really afford not to give?
