What to do if you can't donate financially?
1. Pray. This is the number one most important thing.
2. To support someone financially without spending a dime:
For authors: Leave a review on Amazon, GoodReads, and the publisher's website if you've already read the book. This is incredibly helpful.
For bloggers / podcasters / social media ministries: Subscribe to their feed and share links to their work with others.
For other ministries: Spread the word to those who can benefit from or support the good work.
3. Lead or participate in your own follow-up initiative, public or private, carrying on the work of A Good Discourse.
Thank you so much for your support!
