I love the idea that I can shop and benefit others! Amazon via it’s AmazonSmile program offers an easy way to donate 0.5% of your purchases to support your favorite charity. Year round you can automatically donate to your favorite Christian charity, your school or other cause, when you begin your shopping at smile.amazon.com. Helping others in this manner is a small, but important way to redeem both your shopping time and money for Kingdom purposes.
God calls each of us to be a good steward of the time, talents and financial resources He has given us. Shopping online can be both time efficient and economical. Now you and I can use it to make
a positive difference in the lives of others.

Financial Stewardship
If this is a new concept to you, learn what God says in the Bible.
A few of the verses are: 1 Chronicles 29:11, Psalm 50:10-12, Genesis 1:1, Psalm 24:1-2
“Yours, LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all” –1 Chronicles 29:11
