​

Q1: Where did the name Nedavah come from?
A: The name Nedavah comes from the Bible and carries a very meaningful foundation for our mission. In Scripture, nedavah is a Hebrew word that means a freewill offering, a gift given voluntarily, joyfully, and from the heart, not out of obligation or pressure.
 

One clear example is found in Exodus 35:29 (KJV):
“The children of Israel brought a willing offering unto the Lord, every man and woman, whose heart made them willing to bring for all manner of work, which the Lord had commanded to be made by the hand of Moses.”
The phrase “willing offering” in this passage comes from the Hebrew word nedavah.
 

The same heart of free and joyful giving appears throughout Scripture. In Psalm 54:6 (KJV), David declares,
“I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O Lord; for it is good.”
The word “freely” reflects nedavah, emphasizing an offering given willingly and in praise, not under compulsion.
 

We also see this spirit of generosity during the preparation for the temple. 1 Chronicles 29:9 (KJV) tells us,
“Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord.”
Here again, the word translated as “willingly” is rooted in nedavah, highlighting joy-filled generosity flowing from devoted hearts.
 

These passages show a consistent biblical pattern: nedavah offerings were given freely to God, motivated by gratitude, love, and obedience rather than requirement. These gifts reflected hearts that gave because they wanted to, not because they had to.
 

That meaning is at the core of our giving ministry.
 

At Nedavah, we believe true generosity begins in the heart. Giving is not about excess, recognition, or control. It is about listening for God’s gentle prompting and responding with trust. Whether it is opening your home through a Giving Closet, carrying a G-Vault for portable giving and moments of generosity on the go, offering a kind word with a Nedavah Note, or sharing what you already have, our hope is that every act of generosity flows from a willing spirit.
 

The name Nedavah reminds us that giving is sacred when it is free, faithful, and led by love, just as God gives to us.
 

Q2: What is The Giving Closet about?

A: The Giving Closet is more than just an ebook; it’s a practical guide that shows how you and your family can become part of God’s supply chain by creating a Giving Closet in your home. It helps families learn how to give from the heart, teaching both adults and children how small, faith-driven acts of kindness can transform lives. 

 

Q3: How can The Giving Closet help my family become a part of God’s supply chain?

A: The Giving Closet offers practical steps on how to set up a Giving Closet in your home, allowing anyone, whether individuals, couples, or families, to always be ready to bless others. Establishing a Giving Closet represents an opportunity to serve God, acting as His hands and feet to deliver blessings at a moment’s notice. For couples, this shared practice can create a bond or a much deeper connection as you listen for God’s direction and work together to respond to His call. Whether you’re single, married, or have children, The Giving Closet inspires you to make giving an intentional, ongoing part of your life, fostering a spirit of generosity and faithfulness in serving others.

 

Q4: How does The Giving Closet teach faith-based giving?

A: The Giving Closet serves as a guide that helps us learn how to give in a way that aligns with God’s will, teaching us to listen to His guidance and follow His plan for blessing others. You are so blessed to be chosen to become a part of His supply chain, and that excites us! The book emphasizes that when we give in faith, trusting God to lead us, our efforts are not only blessed but multiplied, allowing us to become a part of His greater purpose. As we give according to His direction, our faith in God grows stronger, teaching us to rely on Him as our source for everything.
 

This is beautifully illustrated in 2 Corinthians 9:7: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.” By following the lessons in The Giving Closet, we are encouraged to give cheerfully and faithfully, knowing that God will use our offerings to bring blessings to others. This guide is for individuals and families who want to align their actions with God’s will and grow in their faith as they give, trusting that He will provide and use their generosity for His divine plan.

 

Q5: Can The Giving Closet help children understand the importance of giving?

A: Absolutely! Instilling a heart for giving in a child is a priceless gift. In a world that often teaches children to focus on themselves, The Giving Closet provides a beautiful opportunity to guide them toward selflessness and generosity, even from as young as two years old. We believe that God is calling us to teach children not just how to receive, but how to give freely, without expecting anything in return, trusting Him as their ultimate source. Through the concept of a G Vault, children learn the joy of gathering items to share with others and develop a natural ability to serve and honor those around them, including their parents. This simple yet powerful practice can help shape a child’s heart to be more compassionate, obedient, and loving, aligning their actions with God's desire to bless others. By nurturing these values early on, The Giving Closet encourages children to grow into natural givers who understand that people need people, and that God will always provide when they follow His call to give.

Q6: Does The Giving Closet convey a spiritual message?

A: Yes! The Giving Closet is deeply rooted in Christian values, with John 3:16 as its foundation: “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” This powerful scripture reminds us that the greatest blessing of all is the gift of Jesus, and as members of God’s supply chain, we are called to share this blessing with others.
 

The spiritual message of The Giving Closet emphasizes that giving isn’t just about providing material goods, it’s about sharing God’s love, hope, and the ultimate gift of salvation through Jesus Christ. By being led in faith, you not only bless others with substance but are also encouraged to share the message of salvation, offering them the most precious gift of all: Jesus. The book inspires you to act as an active part of God’s mission, blessing those in need both physically and spiritually, and becoming a vessel for His love and truth in the lives of others.​
