Today we celebrate . . . the fiftieth day after Easter. Whether this is your first interaction ever with Spilling Hope or if you participated every day during this year’s 50 Day Challenge, it is now a time to respond by generously giving.
Spilling Hope is different than just writing a check to alleviate poverty. Rooted in the reign and hope in Jesus Christ, it’s about breaking down the dividing wall between the rich and poor. If you live in the United States by default, you are rich; meanwhile about 2 billion people in the world live on less than $2 a day.
By choosing to simplify – in a consumer driven culture – we free up time, money, and resources and redirect them. If it’s even saving a mere “$1 a Day,” this too makes a difference. For example, $1 for 50 Days x 2,000 people = $100,000. This is enough to empower communities and provide clean drinking water to THOUSANDS without access. This money will literally go to change and save lives.
We also emphasize learning to better understand issues. If you have not already done so, I recommend:
* checking out the Generous Justice class recordings and other Spilling Hope resources.
* reading through the 50 Day’s of blog posts (see tags in the right-hand margin for further drill-down).
* watching the Spilling Hope videos.
Due to the generous support of a few donors offering to cover all of the costs to produce Spilling Hope, 100% of funds contributed will go directly to projects on the ground in Rwanda and Uganda.
You can contribute by mail, at services at Bethany Community Church, or online here.
Thank you for your participation in this year’s 50 Day Challenge!
