Limited Opportunity Giving
Here is an idea to help raise a specific amount of money for a cause. In this case, money was needed to buy mattresses for a Honduran hospital. Only twenty envelopes were printed showing scanned pictures of the hospital and the doctor. At the table with the envelopes the church had a poster which told about the medical clinic and showed pictures of some of the church members volunteering there. The people were asked to take the envelopes and return them the following week with the specified amount enclosed. They could ask friends and co-workers for help. The scene after church was comical. People were fighting for the envelopes and then looking for someone who had one so that they could contribute. We raised much more than we had asked for!
