What Can We Do With $100 For The Kingdom

And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey. Then he who had received the five talents went and traded with them, and made another five talents. And likewise he who had received two gained two more also. But he who had received one went and dug in the ground, and hid his lord’s money.

Matthew 25:15-18

Having recently come across a challenging and inspiring article on finances, it seems fitting to challenge us to consider setting aside $100—even if it takes a whole year to save this amount of money—and come up with a way to use it creatively and productively for the Kingdom.

Sounds like an intriguing challenge, right?!

A few suggestions for the use of the $100 include giving money to a ministry, buying supplies for a non-profit business, and purchasing Bibles or other reading material to give away.

So let us ask ourselves: If we were able to set aside $100, how might we invest this money into the Lord's work?

Do not just read this and agree with what a great way to further the work of the Lord, but honestly consider actually setting aside $100 and acting on. There are many ministries and individuals that we can and should be investing in financially—just as is done daily in the business world.
