gen~er~ous: adjective 1. liberal in giving or sharing; unselfish.
Why are people generous? What makes someone want to give? Is it how they were raised? Or is it in their DNA? Is it because they have excess riches? Or is it a product of their heart?
I don’t pretend to know the answers to these questions, but I have experienced first hand the incredible blessings of generosity.
WorkMatters has been a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization for eight years. We have had the opportunity to help bridge the gap between faith and work for thousands of people largely due to the generosity of people in northwest Arkansas and across the US. Each year we faithfully share our vision and our needs…and you give. Each year we are challenged to live by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7).
On November 1, 2011 WorkMatters launched One Day at a Time to pray and work to raise $120,000 by December 31. Because of the faithfulness and generosity of many of you, we not only achieved the goal, we exceeded it! We now begin 2012 with great confidence to continue to grow and impact more leaders through the marketplace.
Thank you! We are incredibly grateful for each of you who prayed and invested in this mission and vision. Lives are being impacted, culture is changing.
2012 Challenge
I want to challenge you to make your faith at work a priority in 2012. Don’t compartmentalize your faith. Explore what it means to take whatever faith you feel you have, and live it equally in your work.
WorkMatters can be a powerful and valuable asset in your journey. Study the Seven Pillars of Faith at Work. Determine where you need to concentrate first. And let us know how WorkMatters can impact your life and work in 2012.
Blessed and excited,
David
Proverbs 11:24 – One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty.
