Can I get some ideas on how to deal with a request from our church?

Asked by Darwin (21872points) March 23rd, 2009

Last Sunday the preacher asked that everyone who is willing should come forward and pick up an envelope. Inside the envelope could be anything from a piece of scripture to a handwritten card to money. We are supposed to pray to find out what we should do in relation to the envelope’s contents. Mine contained a 3×5 card with the words “Living Water International” written on it. I know what this organization is (it builds wells to provide clean water to villages in Africa), and my first response was “Well, that’s easy. Send them some money.” But I would like to figure out something else to do. For one thing, we don’t have a lot of extra cash. For another, that is the easy way out. I’m not interested in debating the existence of an invisible deity up in the sky. I just want to do something to help others.

Anyone got any good ideas?
