I encourage you to take 60 minutes over the next few days to study “Tough Times” from the Bible yourself. You are busy helping others (good!), but let the Scriptures help you too! Then you can help others even more.

What if you live in a country where the economy is going downhill? Can you still fundraise while your countrymen suffer?

During economic downturns I am tempted to:

• Freeze in fear and hope things will improve
• Hide finances from my spouse. “Everything is fine.”
• Eat chocolate ice cream out of the carton(s) late at night
• Blame the other political party

Instead, how about taking three action steps?
