As I was sharing about Christian prisoners in Cambodia at a pastor’s conference in Kenya a few years ago, several pastors from Rwanda collected a love offering on the spot for them – it was more than $200.  Considering the GDP per capita of Rwanda is about $1,000 it was two months wages – what a sacrificial giving!  I shared this offering with prisoners in Cambodia, and in return, they collected an offering of $23 and wrote a letter stating that as they received generously, they want to generously give back to those less fortunate than them. This is true giving by every sense of the word – giving by relationship!
