For the Christian, giving should be a natural reaction whenGod's grace begins to change our hearts and attitudes. Jesus takes our giving very seriously and remembers what we give. We learn of the Widow's Mite in Mark 12:41-44, and it has been used as an illustration for centuries in the area of giving. The most important thing we can take from this scripture is that every one of us can give and should give. Giving is great medicine and reflects the character of Jesus!
What if we don't haveany money to give? Donate Your Stuff!
When we don't have money to give, that is when our imaginations can kick in. Just this week, Benjamin and I were cleaning our storage room in the basement, and there was so much stuff that we had not even unpacked yet from two years ago when we moved to this house. We were able to put together four large boxes of good stuff that we were able to take to the local thrift store and donate. The thrift store could possibly get $200-$300 for the items. Also located in a corner was our old desktop computer. It is outdated for our needs,
but it still has value so we took it to Integrity Communications http://www.integritycsi.com/cpr), our partner that helps us with donated cell phones and electronics. Integrity Communications will refurbish most items, sell them and give proceeds from the sale to any charity the donor hooses. In my case, I chose for the proceeds to go to Serve India Ministries.
You can click on the link above and see how you can donate many electronic items that can benefit ministries like Serve India Ministries.
Serve India Ministries also has partners that can receive your vehicle donations, and almost any vehicle out there has value to help Serve India Ministries fulfill its mission through the proceeds from vehicle donations. You can also donate jewelry, fine antiques, real estate, business inventory and even publicly traded stock. PLEASE CONTACT ME WITH ANY IDEAS THAT YOU HAVE CONCERNING NONCASH DONATIONS: mikee@sim2020.org or call 913-406-3495.
