The point is to be aware of local needs and to do something to help. It is expected that in 1996 the infant mortality rate will be in the single digits. In part what makes this possible is the Armenian Children s Milk Fund which operates under the sponsorship of the Armenian Missionary Association of America. The point is, if there are organizations which are making a difference we should do whatever we can to help them. Sometimes it s easy to write a check and then feel as though we have fulfilled God s expectations of us.
Stewardship is more that just writing checks.
Stewardship involves personal commitment to meeting needs. This is a tremendous example for the rest of us to follow. Each of us has an ability that can help someone else. Imagine if families would give to the needs of others - financially or as a family project. Think about the kind of lessons your kids would learn from doing something like this.
