promise of salvation and riches because I give it. When my church asks for money it is to either give them my estimated pledge amount for the coming year so they can actualy devise a budget of some sort OR for a specific project, of which there are several:

Chili lunches for homeless/street people
Back to school clothes for approx 2000 poor kids
Thanksgiving baskets for about 1200 poor families
Day care for children who are living in the homeless shelters in FW
The general mission fund: clothing bank, food bank etc.

Occasionally there may be a special fund raiser for a piece of equipment or something.

Oh yeah and the small fundraisers for Youth Choir and Youth Mission trips.

One of the reasons I never mind when they ask for it: because it is always for an excellent and worthy cause.
