Where Does the Money Go?
I have come to the conclusion that it is time to reveal what I do with the money that I make with Orange Jacket Web Design. I spend 90% of it on the business, my family, and me. The remaining 10% goes to God.
Well, not actually to God, but to a ministry that does work I believe in. Orange Jacket proudly supports the ministry of John Anderson and Wycliffe Bible Translations. Wycliffe translates the bible into other languages so that people can read the bible in their native language. From their website, they say it this way:
Currently only a tenth goes to help others. I am dreaming of a day when I will make enough that I am able to keep only 10 % for myself and give 90% to Him by helping others. Most people run a business to make money. I am going to try to run Orange Jacket Web Design with the intent of developing a revenue stream to help others. I don't know if it is possible. On the other hand, with God all things are possible.
Now you know where the money goes.

One year ago, Orange Jacket was not doing any business. I could not get things moving. I had prospects, but no one would sign. Something was missing. I came to realize that I needed to do something with the money I was making. After talking with John Anderson, a Wycliffe Missionary, at lunch, I decided that I needed to give a tenth of each project back to Him who was giving me business to begin with. After I committed to God by giving to Wycliffe ministries, things started to happen. Customers started to sign. Orange Jacket started to grow."Today about 200 million people do not have the Bible in their own language. Wycliffe’s vision is to see the Bible accessible to all people in the language they understand best. To make this vision a reality, Wycliffe also focuses on literacy development, community development and church partnerships."
