Christianity

Websites for Jesus

For the year 2008, my church is emphasizing working together to build stronger individuals, stronger families, and a stronger church. One area that our pastor has asked us to step up in is finding creative ways to bring finances into the church for some special projects that we want to get done this year. For example, we want to build a playground on one part of the property and a baseball diamond on another.

Sunday, Bro. John Williams told the church that he was going to donate all of his profit delivering appliances for the month of May, which confirmed for me something that I’ve been thinking about as well. For 2008, I will donate all profits from any websites that I build to my church. At this point, I haven’t decided whether I’ll donate to a specific ministry or project, but just that it will all go to the church.

It bothers me to make this statement so publicly. I take the Scripture about your right hand not knowing what your left hand is giving pretty seriously. However, I’m not sure this is the same type of giving and I have two good reasons for wanting to do it this way. First, I’m hoping that it will bring me more clients, which will bring in more money for the church. Second, I want to encourage my fellow New Lifers to do something similar, just as John encouraged me to do.
