Recognizing that the Economic Stimulus rebate checks we will receive in May sole purpose is to be spent to help stimulate the economy, we are willing to follow through, but not as expected.
In a prophetic statement against the rampant consumerist culture that we live in, as a declaration that more money and capitalism will not save us or our economy, and as a statement to those around us that we follow Christ's teachings (Matt. 23) and the only true hope is through him,
We will take a large portion of these government issued checks and begin a 'Giving Spree' to meet the needs of those around us, pressing, important and immediate needs.

Unfortunately, this new "economic stimulus" check is just going to cause more inflation and, thus, not make anyone richer. That's not to say you shouldn't give money to those in need; I'm just saying that this "free money" is really just another distortion on the economy.
I *highly* suggest, to everyone, that you study up on the money/banking system that we have in this country (USA). Money is, as unfortunate as it may be, of grave importance to all of our well-being, so it's a good idea to understand how it *really* works. (You'll be surprised!)
Here is a great place to start:

In any case, I'll try to give some of my "stimulus rebate" to some people that are more in need. :o)
Thanks for your thoughts. We purposely are not intending to 'blame' capitalism, so that people like you and I can find common ground in our desire to help others.
Please consider joining the pledge and working together to meet the needs of others, regardless of your thoughts on whose to blame.
In case any of you are looking for a place/cause/organization to give your 1/2 of your economic stimulus to, please check out Orphanage Project Liberia at http://orphanageprojectliberia.blogspot..... I just stumbled upon this website today so I plan on borrowing your great idea for your economic stimulus donations through Pledge Bank to get others to join in to help the orphans of Liberia.
I invite all of you, along with signing the pledge, to visit the Pentecost Project for more ways to make a prophetic witness towards a more true and loving economy:
