​“For God so loved the world… that He gave.” — John 3:16

If God is love, and His ultimate expression of love is to give,
then giving becomes the most tangible expression of love on earth.

 

The Mission

The 5/20 Project exists to activate real-time compassion through a simple act:

A $20 gift — the world’s currency — exchanged for Kingdom currency, which is love.

This is not charity.
This is participation with Holy Spirit.

 

What Is a 5/20 Influencer?

A 5/20 Influencer is someone who chooses to live prepared.

Prepared to listen.
Prepared to respond.
Prepared to give.

Influencers become compassionate observers, trusting Holy Spirit to highlight someone in need in real time.

When prompted, they simply give $20 and say:

“Jesus sees you. Jesus loves you.”

That moment becomes an encounter—not just provision, but presence.

 

Why 5 / 20 / 100?

• 5 — Represents God’s grace, goodness, and favor

• 20 — Reflects spiritual awakening and growth

• 100 — Symbolizes fullness and multiplied impact

Together, they form a simple but powerful expression of activated faith in motion.

 

The Power of a $20 Gift

The value of $20 is not theoretical—it is situational.

It is best understood in the moment when:

• resources are gone

• options are exhausted

• and hope feels distant

Then, suddenly…
a simple gift appears.

Not random.
Not accidental.
But seen.

To the receiver, it is more than money.
It is a moment that says:

“God has not forgotten you.”

 

A Real-Life Example

A mother pulls up to a gas pump with her children in the car.
She puts in $5—just enough to get by.

An Influencer, prompted by Holy Spirit, approaches and gives her $20, saying:

“This is a gift for you. Jesus sees you. Jesus loves you.”

That $20 changes more than her gas tank.

It changes her moment.
And often… her heart.

 

The Four Pillars of The 5/20 Project

​1. The 5/20 Partners

Those who support the mission financially understand the Kingdom principle of giving and receiving.

They help “prime the well,” making it possible for others to experience the flow of generosity in real time.

​

2. The 5/20 Teaching

We teach and model these principles through:

• One-on-one discipleship

• Church and small group gatherings

• Live field experiences

Every teaching leads to activation—because this is meant to be lived, not just learned.

​

3. The 5/20 Influencer

Influencers are:

• Vetted

• Taught

• Spirit-led

They give as Holy Spirit leads and share their stories to encourage others to step into the same lifestyle of compassion.

​

4. The 5/20 Receiver

A Receiver is someone who simply receives.

No expectations.
No requirements.
No obligation.

Only this:

A gift.
A moment.
An encounter with love.

Closing Thoughts

Many followers of Jesus have been taught how to give.

But many others—often through no fault of their own—have only learned how to survive.

Not from lack of compassion…
but from lack of opportunity.

You’ll often hear:

“I’d help… if I could.”

The 5/20 Project changes that.

It provides a simple, Spirit-led way to:

• step into giving

• experience receiving

• and participate in the living flow of God’s love

 

An Invitation

Take a moment and ask:

“Could I be prepared… daily… to respond when Holy Spirit highlights someone?”

If so, you are already closer than you think.

Thank you for taking the time to explore The 5/20 Project.
I would love to continue the conversation with you.

 

Kingdom Regards,
