Give
Freely Receive, Freely Give
The Freely Receive, Freely Give financial model not only echoes the language of how Jesus sent his disciples into town to do ministry (“Freely you have received, freely give“—Matt. 10:8), it is highly strategic. It is a model fueled by gratitude and generosity, which are transformative forces.
FREELY RECEIVE means that all are welcomed to partake in life-giving resources and services without cost, made possible through someone else’s generosity. We have seen firsthand that this approach removes barriers of access and closes disparity gaps.The second part of the model, FREELY GIVE, takes it a step further and extends generosity. We do not treat anyone as a charity case, which robs people of their dignity. Instead we invite all who have freely received to join in the generosity movement by freely paying forward gifts of any size that will bless future others with the gift of soul care.Jesus loved the widow’s offering of two mites because it was given generously and in proportion to what she had. Even though she was materially poor, she was spiritually rich, and therefore honored above those who were materially rich, yet spiritually poor.When you give to Porch Swing Soul Care, you are not simply helping us to cover the costs of ministry; you are investing in a generosity movement.
