Scripture: Matthew 10:7-16
Jesus said to the twelve, “As you go, proclaim the good news, `the kingdom of heaven has come near.’ Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment. Take no gold, or silver, or copper in your belts, no bag for your journey, or two tunics, or sandals, or a staff; for laborers deserve their food. Whatever town or village you enter, find out who in it is worthy, and stay there until you leave. As you enter the house, greet it. If the house is worthy, let your peace come upon it; but if it is not worthy, let your peace return to you. If anyone will not welcome you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave that house or town. Truly I tell you, it will be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah on the day of judgment than for that town.
“See, I am sending you out like sheep into the midst of wolves; so be wise as serpents and innocent as doves.”

What can be done?

Passion to poverty challenge

As a small group- Develop a fundraising goal to raise money to help develop a foundation that gives all the earnings to children that are orphans in Africa.

Example: A small group of 10 people raise $100 each to give to www.thenextlevel.org to reach the people of Africa. Start with a goal and end the potential to change thousands of lives. $1000.00 can educate 62 children for 1 year. Result 10 people gave a priceless gift to 62 children.

As a company: Provide the opportunity for workers to donate the cost of lunch spent for one day to www.thenextlevel.org.

Example: Challenge employees to calculate the average amount of money they spend on lunch each day. Ask them to take this amount and donate the amount to www.thenextlevel.org. Provide a light lunch the day that donations are collected and invite a person from the next level to speak at the lunch about the global issues.

Example: If the average cost for lunch per person as a company is $6.85, challenge the people to give this small amount to www.thenextlevel.org. 20 people that participate will raise $137.00 as a company match this amount to bring the total to $274.00 this allows 17 children in Africa to have a priceless gift of 1 year of education. Results your team of workers has more purpose and impacted the world with one small gift.
