For a single person it is so much easier to pick up take out or go out to eat but that comes at a high cost. My calculations brought my average monthly spending on fast food and eating out at about $130 so picking this for my sacrifice was a no brainer. I think I can give up my #2 combo ( quarter pounder cheeseburger meal) if it means that someone across the world can have a better life. The featured ministry was Plant with Purpose and it helped plant trees in the Dominican to combat the deforestation happening there. Those in third world countries are cutting trees for a short term solution. They cut the trees to sell as firewood but taking these trees strip the soil of nutrients and destroys land that was once fruitful. For only $100 you can plant an entire forest. I was able to plant a forest in the Dominican who can say that? YOU CAN if you give something up this month!
This is me enjoying my McDonalds burger in Romania when we took a group of special need teens and kids for happy meals.
