Stewardship Stories: See Who’s Found Joy in Giving

Your journey of generosity will be unique to you. Still, as God leads you down the path, some of your greatest encouragement may come from those who have traveled ahead. Here you’ll find a wealth of encouraging testimonies and biographies. Below you can view the full list of subjects, or you can narrow the selection by topic or interest group. If you have been moved by any of them, share your brief story with us so that others might excel in the grace of giving. After reading the encouraging words of men, read the life-giving word of God.
