This Lent season, Christian Charity Stewardship is relaunching its generosity challenge , 40 acts, in partnership with Gospel Entrepreneurs,, the Christian Today website reports today (Feb. 25, 2025).
Following a brief hiatus, 40 acts returns an award--winning initiative that has grown into a movement of over 100,000 individuals dedicated to transforming their communities through acts of far--reaching generosity.
Leaders from Stewardship and the Sanctuary Foundation say that 40 acts is not merely a temporary commitment during Lent, but a shift in perspective, encouraging individuals to actively give to others rather than simply giving up personal indulgences.
It serves as the beginning of a lifelong commitment to sharing the grace believers have received from Jesus, while also fostering meaningful conversations about faith by highlighting the deeper motivations behind this radical generosity.
Janie Oliver, CEO of Stewardship, said she hoped it would inspire "a way of life that will embrace living generously: acts of kindness and caring that will transform our lives and lives of those we connect with."
"40 acts was much--loved because it brought so much joy to so many. It flips the traditional Lent mindset of giving stuff up to one of giving stuff away and that stuff includes your time, talent, and resources , not just your money," she said.
"Jesus said: "It is more blessed to give than to receive" -- our prayer is that many will know the joy of that blessing this Lent, thanks to 40 acts.
