What Can a Free $1,000 Do? Lots if You Use It.

No joke.  This post is about you and your friends giving away thousands of dollars of someone else’s money - $10 at a time.  I can’t tell you how many “thousands” (legal details blah blah blah) but its lots. 

What:

$10 free that you can invest in a humanitarian project of your choice.  Take our spare change and your spare time (its only 10 minutes) and give hope.  No strings attached.  No gimmicks. Just $10 free for you to invest in the world. No assembly required and its safe for kids.

Why:

About the time I started writing Humanitarian Jesus I also helped found The Glue Network – a new way of empowering people to impact need by finding new sources of funding like brands and companies to supply the money. 

I spent my first Christmas under the tree…literally. Born on the eve of Christmas Eve, I came home from the hospital on the night before Christmas. My parents wrapped me up like a burrito and placed me under the tree that warm Christmas Eve night.  

On this much colder southern California Christmas season, I’m anticipating Christmas more than I think I ever have. I’m a horrible gift receiver. Case and point: recently I won a raffle at my company Christmas party for two free round trip airline tickets. After returning back to work on the Monday morning after the party, it took me the entire day to ask human resources for the tickets. I know; I’m a freak right?! There is just something about receiving a gift that makes me a bit anxious and nervous.  

Thinking to myself about why it was so difficult to receive that gift led me to consider receiving the gift of my eternal salvation in Christ. I don’t believe I’ve shared my story of coming to faith in Christ here on ConversantLife so I’ll give you a snapshot of that time in my life.
