Watchman Nee was a Chinese Christian leader who spent the final 20 years of his life imprisoned for spreading the Gospel. Despite his confinement, he remained steadfast, reportedly singing hymns and sharing the gospel with fellow prisoners. His unwavering commitment exemplifies the apostle Paul's words in Philippians 1:21, "For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain." Nee's perspective challenges us to reconsider how we define generosity and impact. If we measure our lives by what we pour out rather than what we accumulate, generosity becomes less about the size of our contributions and more about the depth of our sacrifice. It's not merely about achieving visible outcomes but about faithfully offering ourselves for God's purposes. True generosity is marked by a willingness to give without expectation, to serve without recognition, and to trust that even unseen sacrifices contribute to a greater kingdom impact. In embracing this mindset, we align our lives more closely with the self-giving love exemplified by Christ. (fb)

Each summer, thousands of children and teens attend ministries like VBS, YoungLife, and summer Bible camps—many hearing the name of Jesus for the very first time! For some of these kids, this might be the only time that they spend time with Christians or hear the good news about Jesus. That’s why it matters so deeply to come alongside these ministries, volunteering our time, giving financially, and by lifting these young hearts in prayer. Join us in asking God to raise up a generation that knows him, follows him, and boldly shares his name with the world. May he protect them, guide their steps, and grow something eternal in their hearts this summer. (fb)
