Generosity in Action

Posted by: Julie on Sunday, March 9th, 2008

plainfield-launch.jpg This picture is one of the best results of generosity I’ve ever experienced!  Did you know that our 190-person launch team for the Plainfield launch personally sacrificed not only their time, their hearts, and their talents – but also their resources?!  It’s true.  Our Plainfield launch team, led by Brad and Anne Prunty – who sacrificed significant resources themselves, prioritized generosity as a key value of their launch team.  Because of this, 4 families at JFK Middle School were able to have a $500 gift each at Christmastime, over 5,000 canned goods were donated to the Plainfield Interfaith Food Pantry, and 642 people entered the doors of a brand new worship space last Sunday morning!  I don’t know about you, but if that even means that one more person finds their way back to God, then I say, ‘Take all I have, God!  It’s yours!’  And this just in…. Week 2 of the Plainfield launch had over 500 in attendance, many of who are beginning their journey in finding their way back to God.  So we aren’t just talking about one person… we are talking about hundreds coming alongside of us in this journey!  In the coming weeks, I’ll be writing more about how we can spend more wisely on ourselves in order to have greater generosity towards the mission of Jesus.  Ask questions and add in your own ideas along the way, we’re all in this together!

My wife and I attend CCC, had heard about the conference, but could not attend, as I am on disability and have periods of pain that make it difficult to be out much for long. Would appreciate any info you could share, so that we can learn more. This sounds like powerful stuff that you are doing for the Lord.

Thanks, Lane. Click on the Generosity Conference link on the sidebar of this blog page, and you will find the entire conference on downloadable videos. Additionally, you will find all conference handouts available in pdf files. Please let me know if you have any complications with this, and I’d be happy to mail you a DVD of the conference and print out the handouts for you. Let me know your reactions after you watch the videos!
