Today I attended another session of LifeWork Leadership – a leadership seminar series here in Orlando. And the topic was simply Generosity.

God calls us to be like him – and one obvious character trait he displays is generosity.

Several people spoke. One was an accountant – a business woman. She called people to live within their means, to budget and systematically remove debt, and to be generous with their surplus (money after tithing to God and paying the necessary bills).

Another person spoke who works for GenerousGiving.org. This is a non-profit organization funded by a foundation. The purpose of the organization is to encourage people to be generous. Wow!

Newly released statistics from Wycliffe Bible Translators — the world’s largest Bible translation organization — demonstrate that significant progress has been made toward making Scripture available to all languages.

Since the beginning of 2000, 55 million people worldwide have portions of Scripture in their own language who never had anything before. However,193 million people are still without access to the Bible’s Christmas story.
