So one item I've had on my bucket list is "Support a missionary." I can finally cross it off my list. My close friend, M, who left several years ago to be a missionary has been supported by my church all this time. Feeling that more funds were needed to progress in the work, M finally sent out a support letter.
I've been trying to decide how much to give to M. I'd love to give at least $100/month but between tithe offerings and giving to humanitarian organizations, I'm already giving at about 15%. I'm stretched to the max right now. I've been putting off buying a new computer for a year an a half b/c I decided to make giving a priority. It's tough right now. The payroll tax expired, my co-pays went up, and my student loan payments went way up. I've been determined to trust in God and haven't cut back on my level of giving but increasing it will be hard.
I think what I'm going to do is the money from fasting I've been giving to charity, I'm going to give to my friend. I wish I could give at least $100 each to M and charity but that will have to wait until I find a better-paying job.
