DISCOVERING WAYS TO GIVE

As you contemplate your commitment, consider these things:

SACRIFICE…What does “SACRIFICE” mean to me?
Your commitment should be built on the theme “Not Equal Gifts but Equal Sacrifice.” Your 36 month commitment should be a
demonstration of your personal definition of sacrifice.

PROCESS… What am I willing to do or do without?
Seek to translate “SACRIFICE” into a plan of action.

AMOUNT… What kind of commitment will my sacrificial efforts
generate during the next 36 months?

Remember, you will be setting a standard of sacrifice for others to
follow. Take a personal inventory. Consider investing from as many areas as possible:

• INCOME…How much can I budget from income to give?
• TIME AND TALENT…What can I do or invest during the next
  three years to generate additional income?
• ASSETS…What item of value do I own that I can give to my
  church; e.g., real estate, stocks, bonds, personal possessions, etc.?
• INCOME PRODUCNIG ASSETS…What income could I dedicate
  from rental properties, stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit,
  interest-bearing accounts, etc.?
• SACRIFICE…What can I give up, do without, postpone, or
  alter in order to give to my church?
