Pastor Doug Ferguson stepped up to the pulpit of Houston’s Grace Presbyterian Church with $5,000 in his back pocket. He preached about generosity, neighborly love and the meaninglessness of worldly wealth. Then he handed out $100 bills.


His instructions were simple: Use the money to spread comfort and joy. Show some kindness to strangers. And report back in 90 days on what you did…....
But they didn’t stop with their $100 bills. Their investments were fruitful. They multiplied.

Labors of love
Graham has always been moved by the biblical story of Jesus washing the disciples’ feet, and she knows that foot care is a daunting problem for the homeless community.

Helping the homeless
The challenge also stirred 51-year-old Geoff Edney’s impulse to help the homeless.

9-year-old raises $1,000
Griffin Simpson begged her parents to let her take one of the bills, but they were reluctant. They told the 9-year-old to give everyone else a chance first. Finally they relented, with Ferguson’s encouragement.

Cakes raise cash
Sharon Collins, a director with BP who dabbles in baking, wanted to raise money for her favorite charity: Project C.U.R.E., which donates used medical equipment to Third-World countries.

While I don’t actually celebrate much, I do think this is appropriate to what the season is supposed to be all about. Please read the rest of this story to find out what these wonderful people did with their $100 dollars.
