• Modeling generous giving and encouraging your family. 
• Deciding how to give.

Key Takeaways:

• You can minister wherever you are at, whatever your business, and whatever your circumstances. Lift where you stand. 
• God gives us a lot of experiences. He will put things in our path that are for us to support tht matter to us. 
• Step out in faith. If it is for a good cause, step out, even if you are uncomfortable, because that is where the impact will be found.
