Giving Is a Blessing for This Father and Daughter

Wallace and Christine are a father/daughter team at a successful financial planning firm in Tampa, Florida. Both enjoy being partners at the firm.

“Seeing the clients at different stages of their lives and helping them through some of the choices that they need to make.  We know we did our job and we took care of them and they’re thankful.  It’s just a very rewarding profession,” says Christine.

Christine is married with a family of her own now. But as a child, she remembers learning important lessons from her parents, including about tithing and giving. She noticed when they shared stories that she couldn’t explain as a coincidence. Like the time her father pledged to give $1000 that he didn’t have.

Wallace says, “About two weeks later, I received a commission on an investment that I was unaware the gentleman was going to invest in that way. And it came out that I had a commission of approximately $1000. So, it was returned!  The more we are blessed, the more we can give.   And it's more joyful to give than to receive.”

One of the places where Wallace and Christine give is CBN.

Christine says, “It’s phenomenal that they have the Well Project.  It’s just a wonderful gift to those communities that are very remote.”

Wallace adds, “Operation Blessing is always there. The trucks roll and people are helped.”

“Helping the Home Front is a phenomenal new program with CBN. To work with these military families and encourage their faith!” says Christine.

“Superbook, I am very impressed with the spreading of the gospel throughout the world,” says Wallace.

“Orphan's Promise is doing a beautiful job of helping these orphans that otherwise would be left and instead, now they're chosen,” says Christine.

This father/daughter team plans on continuing to give to CBN for a long time to come.

Christine says, “The gift is in the giving. The gift is for the giver.  It's not about the organization that's asking for the funds. It's about doing the right thing that the Lord has put on your heart to do. It’s important to open your mind and open your pocketbook and let the Lord in, because He's an amazing God.”
