I am not preoccupied with collecting more goods and services; quite simply, my desire and effort—every day—is to pay back, to give back to the world a bit of what I have received.

The most difficult area to surrender for many people is their money.

Givers for God disarm the power of money.

Nobody is so poor he has nothing to give, and nobody is so rich he has nothing to receive.

The habit of giving only enhances the desire to give.

Give people more than they expect, and do it cheerfully.

You must remember always to give, of everything you have. You must give foolishly even. You must be extravagant. You must give to all who come into your life. Then nothing and no one shall have power to cheat you of anything, for if you give to a thief, he cannot steal from you, and he himself is then no longer a thief. And the more you give, the more you will have to give.

The instructive admonitions, "give an account of thy stewardship,"—"occupy till I come;" are forgotten. Thus the generous and wakeful spirit of Christian Benevolence, seeking and finding every where occasions for its exercise, is exploded, and a system of decent selfishness is avowedly established in its stead; a system scarcely more to be abjured for its impiety, than to be abhorred for its cold insensibility to the opportunities of diffusing happiness.

Give all thou canst; high Heaven rejects the loreOf nicely calculated less or more.

The charities that soothe, and heal, and bless, are scattered at the feet of man, like flowers.

Our ministry is supported entirely by faith, through the missions gifts of readers who receive my messages every three weeks. We seldom mention money, and we never burden supporters.

Every Teen Challenge ministry is responsible for raising its own finances, but we assist these works with finances, prayer and counseling, especially overseas in areas such as Siberia, Africa, South America.
