What are good causes?
.
THIS ARTICLE IS JUST A STUB! A good cause is an effort made to do good things, or a good thing that people are working to support. An organization, a club, or a friend in need. It's something worth investing time and resources into, that you trust will be worthy and beneficial to human kind. Good causes are not always pleasant to look at, such as cancer research. They may not always be easy to understand or research, but that is why you must be diligent in investing resources in a worthy and trust worthy cause. Do you homework and make sure your efforts are not in vein. Countless people need your help, everywhere, and in many different ways. Sometimes it just takes being a good role model for society. Some people enjoy investing everything they are into what they believe in, and for some they just have to in order to stay alive. Do your part and help share with those who deserve it. We all have countless things to offer, if we realize it yet or not. Once you start helping others, your eyes will be opened to new chances and doorways.

Ways You Can Get Involved
*
* Getting involved in God's kingdom can be like learning to paint. Take it one step at a time, breathe, and let the Lord guide you.
* Attend a Bible Study. Start at the beginning, in your own neighborhood where you know how things work.
* Giving back 10% as your basic tithing.
* Call your local Church office and see what volunteer openings there are.
* Communicate with your state government about ways you can support Christian ministries.
* Attend the membership class of a church you like.
* Study and act on what the Bible prescribes as an upright Christian life.
* Start your own GoogleSites, such as I did, and start making lists of information others may find useful.
* Become active in your community, attending meetings and showing the world what a humble Christian can be.
* Ask people if they would like to meet Jesus. It's as simple as a walk across a room.
* Being involved in God's work doesn't necessarily involve spending money. Everyone has an abundance of resources they can contribute.
* Bring the hope of salvation to those in hospitals and assisted living conditions.
* Brainstorm with your friends and loved ones how you can find more ways to support your local community.
* If local giving isn't your blessing, you may like traveling! Many Christian groups are traveling across the globe to bring God's light to remote places.
* Sponsor children in poor countries.
* Ask to pray over a meal before consuming it.
* Let God do what God does. Meaning, plant a seed of faith but don't force it to grow. Don't stress out about it. Only God knows the timing of his plan.
* Host a neighborhood cleaning party, to clean up a park and or just one home at a time. Get rid of unwanted material items.
* If you have children, put them in Boyscouts of America, or Girlscouts. Teach them early on to step out of their box and integrate into the community!
* More to be added.
