Getting Started with Generosity

For people who have never practiced tithing and feel that it would be too difficult to start giving 10% of their income, we suggest starting small and working your way up to it. A simple plan could look something like this:

Month 1-3: Give 1% of your income
Month 4-6: Give 3% of your income
Month 7-9: Give 5% of your income
Month 10-11: Give 7% of your income
Month 12: Give 10% of your income
