JOYFUL GIVING STORIES

On September 12, 2023, guests attending our annual Ignite Your Legacy forum were given an opportunity to embrace the joy of giving. Each of them received $20 to give away.

ROADSIDE BLESSING
I was able to bless a man along the road who was down and out. When I gave him the $20 bill, he said “God bless you,” and I said the same. This act has already given me joy in the Lord. Thank you for the $20 to give away! The evening was a tremendous blessing! I will continue this generosity practice moving forward. ~ Steve
ALWAYS READY TO GIVE
What a lovely idea!! I gave my $20 to a single mom at work!! She is always ready to give to someone else. So…I gave it to her so that she could treat her daughter! ~ Melissa
A CARING CUP OF COFFEE
Sent my $20 to a gal who is going through a hard time right now and who happens to love Starbucks coffee. I sent the gift anonymously. I feel so much “joy” right now.

There surely is joy in giving. I so enjoyed the ICGC banquet! Will not soon forget all I learned there. ~Lorraine
