This week I have found myself praying for the economy, in the midst of turmoil. I stumbled on a good article called The Mortgage Crisis and the Economy from Christian Personal Finance who btw are hosting a 10-Day Give Project beginning October 10. The idea is that you give something to someone different every day for ten days.
Praying for the Economy
Andrew – thanks for the mention!!
thank you for your timely article. hope the 10 Day Give works out well.
Hi, Andrew. I found the following perspective on the economic bail-out quite informative, if not a bit more gritty than the CPF report. I’m not sure if leaving a link in the comments is cool w/ you, therefore I do so trepidly.
Cheers,

very cool link to the 10 day give, Andrew. I’ve been thinking recently that as Christians we should be giving MORE in a recession rather than less – now is when this love that we have is most needed.
sorry, its in german – but it fits very well.

ups, wrong theme – I meant: Now that we have stopped emerging . . . – sorry
Here’s a question I’ve been wondering about recently: If the world is going into recession is this really the time to be starting up social enterprises? Any thoughts?
maybe its just me but . . . if starting a social enterprise means equipping the poor for microbusinesses that will move them out of poverty and into a sustainable lifestyle AND benefit the society at the same time, then it sure beats lowering the interest rate so they can borrow for a new car.
