The Blessing of Giving: How Generosity Fuels Village Reach

Summer Gala attendee getting to know our Dreamers in Colombia

At Village Reach, we believe giving is at the very center of God’s design for how the world flourishes. Scripture reminds us, “It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35), and we see that truth reflected every day in the way our community pours out their time, talents, and resources.

When people think about giving, money is often the first thing that comes to mind. But real giving is so much bigger—it’s sacrificial, relational, and deeply human.

Giving Through Leadership: Our Cofounders

Our cofounders set the tone by giving their vision and time freely. They serve without pay, leading not for profit but for purpose. Their example reminds us that the greatest leaders are servants first, giving not from material abundance but from conviction and love.

Giving Through Service: Our Employee

Our staff embody generosity in their daily work. One team member, for example, continues to serve even though only 20% of her salary is funded. She gives her time and talent anyway, believing in the eternal impact of this mission. That’s what faith in action looks like.

Giving Through Community: Our Dreamers

The Dreamers we partner with—the local leaders already rooted in their own neighborhoods—give in ways that inspire us all. They give their creativity, their strength, and their love for their people. They are not outsiders coming in to “fix things.” They are insiders building change from the ground up, one act of service at a time.

Giving Through Support: Our Donors

Then there’s you—our donors and supporters. Every dollar given, whether monthly or one-time, fuels this mission. You’re not just contributing to programs; you’re part of a living story of transformation in our Dreamers and their villages. When you give, you step into the circle with them, bearing the weight of need and sharing the joy of hope.

The Table: Where Giving Gathers

This is why we created The Table—our community of monthly givers. Around The Table, every seat matters. It’s where cofounders, staff, Dreamers, and donors come together, each giving what they can, and together building something far greater than we could do alone.

A Call to Reflect and Respond

Generosity is contagious. When one person chooses to give, it inspires others to do the same. That’s why we seek to lead by example—not only asking for generosity but living it ourselves.

So we invite you to pause and reflect: What does giving look like in your own life right now? Maybe it’s financial. Maybe it’s your time, your skills, or your prayers. However you give, it matters.

Together, we are showing communities around the world that their God-given dreams are within reach.
