| Donating to charity | | Hey everyone
Just a quick question.
I'm 15, I dont have much money but I would like to donate some to a charity. My question is who would GOD want me to dontate it to? Daily Audio Bible? Many an African charity? or even a Child/Animal abuse charity

I love DAB so would recommend here but I think you should leave it up to your heart. Put the money where you feel you are being lead to. Hope that helps.
| I think you should go with your heart. Maybe it's something local, or something you're really passionate about. I guess I'd say give somewhere you can know it's going to a good cause for the gospel (and compassion) of Jesus Christ to be spread
| What's been said so far is great! :) I'm a big fan of helping DAB too:) but another wonderful thing that I've been concidering as well is Gospel for Asia. Very little money can go a very long ways there in spreading the gospel to people who have never heard it before because they train pastor/evangelists from the inside, people who are there, who know the language and culture, who are not used to the spendy American lifestyle, sometimes several churches can be planted for just what it would cost in airfare to send an American Missionary family.... So, What sorts of things has God really laid on your heart? if it is evangelism, then find somewhere doing that well. If it is world hunger, go in that direction. Sponsoring a child even, might be a very cool thing for youth to do if you wanted to concider doing it with a couple of your friends to help so it doesn't cost so much. I don't know your parents, but it might be a good idea to ask them about it, especially especially if you are going to be in a position of corresponding with adults. I am sure God treasures your giving heart, and will help you find the right avenue to express the passions He gives you.
| Anthony, if you pray, God will tell you where to send it. He's good that way. :)
| I think there is a saying somewhere in scripture...
Matthew 5:42
Give to the one who asks of you, and do not turn your back on one who wants to borrow.
So basically, if someone is asking you for something, you should give it. I would say though that one should not give to an organization that is not in line with the Christian faith. But an individual who asks, or a Christian organization who asks, you should support if you can.
