 The Story of Jack and Jenn Jack and Jenn is a video and lesson series created to help teach the principles of A Disciple’s Generous Response and explain mission initiatives. |
 Generosity Jars showcase the Jack and Jenn stories that teach kids about Mission Initiatives and the principles of A Disciple’s Generous Response. They are excellent tools to help start important conversations about money with the children in your life. Using Generosity Jars and the accompanying guidebook can help kids make the connection between being disciples of Jesus and being good stewards of our resources. Beginning the habits of sharing, saving, and spending at an early age creates healthy patterns of money management that will serve children well as they grow. When Generosity Jars are used with children’s envelopes, they create another opportunity to talk about Mission Initiatives and how our generosity is linked with our call to live out the mission of Jesus Christ. |
