Tell Us Your Generosity Story

Hold the money. Pray. Listen. Then give it away to the person or need the Holy Spirit brings to your attention. Afterwards, tell us what happened and what God taught you.

How the practice works.

01
Hold

Receive the money as something entrusted to you, not something to keep.

02
Pray

Ask the Holy Spirit to guide your attention and stir compassion.

03
Listen

Notice the person, family, or need God brings to mind.

04
Give

Respond freely and joyfully, then pay attention to what God teaches you.

This week, Living Waters is practicing generosity in a unique way. Instead of collecting an offering, we are giving small amounts of cash to individuals and families to carry into their neighborhoods.

The invitation is simple: hold the money, pray, listen, and give it away during the week to someone or something the Holy Spirit highlights.

This is not a one-time gimmick. It is an object lesson meant to form us—to train our eyes and hearts to notice needs and opportunities the way Jesus did, and to respond with tangible generosity.

Share as much or as little as you would like. You can include your name, remain anonymous, or ask us to keep your story private.

We may celebrate submitted stories with our church community only according to the permission you choose below.

What did you notice?

Your story does not need to be dramatic or polished. We would love to hear where the money went, how you responded, and what God taught you along the way.
