SOMETIMES WE MISS THE CHANCE FOR GENEROSITY.
There are different reasons: time, energy, or a lack of knowing who or how to help. All of these roadblocks are preventing us from being able to experience the true joy of being generous.
THE BIG GIVE exists to help remove all the hurdles keeping you from being able to help those in need.

Love
Jesus, show me where I can love others the way that you love me.
This week, slow down long enough to really see people, to notice the people God has placed right in front of us, and love them in ways that reflect His heart.
Sometimes that means writing a note that reminds someone they matter, dropping off coffee for a teacher who’s had a long week, or inviting a neighbor over for dinner just to listen and care. The goal isn’t to do something big; it’s to be intentional and show kindness rooted in the love of Jesus.

What does the Bible say about generosity?
We believe God invites us to have a heart of Genuine Generosity.
The Lord calls for us to be generous (1 Timothy 6:18), to help those in need (Matthew 25:40), to give from a gracious heart, without expectation of reward or return (2 Corinthians 9:7). In doing so, we honor God, not only by following His Word but by allowing His love to be clearly shown to those around us (2 Corinthians 9:11).
Sleep in Heavenly Peace
Imagine trying to do your homework on the floor after a long day at school, or drifting off to sleep on a couch because there’s no bed to call your own. For thousands of children across the United States, this is a reality every night. At Sleep in Heavenly Peace, we provide safe, comfortable beds so every child can rest, thrive, and wake up ready to face the day.

“APO helped through the hardest thing I’ll probably ever have to go through! The lady I worked with was so much help. They helped me with a lot, from counseling to helping financially. From phones calls, text, emails, and meetings, they always check up on you to make sure things are going ok. They always offer to come to you instead of going into the office. I will forever be grateful for their help. Absolutely loved APO!!!”

SOS Ministries
“We are currently providing a week’s worth of food for the approximate 300 children and teens we serve and then also will provide food assistance for some of our single mothers. Our thought is, it is a tremendous opportunity to “make God famous” as the government shuts down and the Church steps up.”
