I’ve been a fan of the 24-7 Prayer folks for a while (especially since reading “Red Moon Rising“). I recently received an email from them announcing a new project: Living Generously.
This new site is essentially a directory of projects around the world that enable Christians to live out their convictions. They have a range of categories including agriculture, education, children, urban and housing projects. Each project has a little blurb about it and many of the projects are very affordable; most are less than $100—one on my list is under $17. Which brings me to the best part of the site, in my opinion: you can make a “wish list”. This has the potential to make the site truly useful because it will encourage people to give gifts that actually matter and are heartily approved by the wish list-maker. I know that I have felt a little unsure about giving to charities as a gift for an individual, but if that person actually selected the project, I would be glad to give that way. Basically, what Amazon wish lists have done for “traditional” gift giving, I think Living Generously could do for charitable gift giving.
