Where shall we give

Things are still rocking and rolling here in the big ef-dub. Right now, we're looking at options on where we should invest money. As a community that doesn't spend money on a building or staff, it frees us up to give directly to those in need or causes that make a direct impact. Yet there's still the major challenge of "Where to give?" Locally? Globally? Those you know? The most desperate? Starving? Thirsty? Sex trafficking?

There's the distinct challenge of not just giving either. It's easy to tithe or cut a check. But what does it look like for a community to be involved with another community thousands of miles away? What does it look like when you may never meet them? How do you love people well in these situations? These are the challenges we must wrestle with and find actual answers for. We cannot be satisfied to do things as usual.

If you have any thoughts on the subject, feel free to leave a comment or show up this week to share your thoughts and ideas.
