Extravagant Generosity — as demonstrated by Jesus Christ and our 5th-grade friend Lily, who made an inspiring sacrifice for the benefit of students in Haiti. Lily has a big vision for transforming the lives of others in the name of Jesus. Fueled by extravagant generosity, and motivated by the character of Jesus, Lily was inspired after hearing about her mother’s trip to Haiti and wanted to help.

Lily says, “Some people don’t have the same things that we do and it isn’t their fault. We should help others and give and not expect any praise or anything in return.” This is exactly what Lily has lived into over the past two years — after doing odd jobs, saving allowance, and even giving her birthday money to a fund for a Haitian child’s education. She raised $600 last year and $460 this year to provide a scholarship and supplies to a student she has never even met because, as she says, “God calls us to be generous.” Now, other kids have been inspired by Lily’s extravagant generosity and are raising funds for their own campaigns for Haiti. She encourages everyone to be bold and generous in their faith.
