Step One
Pray. Pray individually and, if you are married, pray as a couple. Ask God to place an amount on your heart to give to the More Hope for More People campaign.
Step Two
Ask yourself what amount of money:
1. You desire to give
2. You believe God could provide for you to give.
Step Three
Next, assume for a few days you were to give the amount which you’ve arrived at; now ask yourself these four questions:
1. Am I joyous about giving this amount?
2. Is my gift sacrificial?
3. Am I demonstrating an expression of my faith in God with this amount?
4. Am I convinced that I can give this amount with a motivation of worshipping God; showing my thankfulness?
Step Four
If you can answer “yes” to all four of these questions, then you can feel comfortable about your gift amount.
If you cannot honestly answer “yes” to all four questions, go back through Steps One and Two until you are comfortable with your answer in Step Three.
If you are single, you’re done; pray, thank God and send in your card.
If you are married, move on to Steps Five and Six.
Step Five
Get together with your spouse and share your gift amounts.
If you came up with different amounts, repeat Steps One through Three and see if there is an agreement when you get back together the second time.
Step Six
If you came up with the same number on “round two” then pray, thank God and turn in your card.
If you are not able to reach an agreement on your gift amount in a reasonable amount of time, choose the lower number as your gift. Pray, thank God and turn in your card.
