Giving that delights the heart of the Father…

Whether you give by cash, cheque, online or goats and chickens for that matter, how and what we give is not as important as the heart we give from.  Giving, in any form, is an act of worship.  It starts from an overflow of a thankful heart for all that God has done and generously flows not out of obligation, but of a love for God. Making the giving process as easy as possible – especially for those not used to giving – is part of how the church grows generous disciples.

“More than ever, our world is driven by technology.  Most churches haven’t stayed up-to-date with the tech their members use in their daily lives – especially when it comes to monetary transactions…. People (especially young people) have become accustomed to paying for things digitally with little to no hassle, and many churches use archaic or even clunky donation processes.”
– eChurch Giving

Adopting online giving is simply another opportunity to encourage generosity and remove obstacles to people’s giving.  This does not mean you do away with the offering envelops and what is already working.  But if you want to encourage generosity in this next generation, we have to look at how people now do life and handle money.  We must make it easy to give. Make it easy to express gratitude. Make their experience in giving as simple and joyful as possible
