Because You Understood (Message from Jake)
2020 tested and tried us all in ways we couldn’t have imagined. And while most of the world was experiencing a global health crisis for the first time, our partners were not. The reality is that they spend most of their days addressing the world’s greatest health challenges experienced from lack of clean water or the effects of HIV/AIDS. When the time came for them to rise to this new challenge, there was no wavering, only action. And from what we have seen, their efforts are working.
Why Do We Give?
We are each living out an incredible story. Each one of us is on the “hero’s journey.” Each one of us strives to grasp something we need. Apart from the love of God, anything worthwhile to pursue will have parallel level of resistance. The more value in the object, the greater the obstacles will be separating us from it. Wealth has a way of convincing those who have it that they can achieve the hero’s journey more easily without subsequently cheapening the object of their desire.
