Zambucks was created out of my own conviction to stop spending so much money satisfying myself and instead to give up lattes for a year. I am not just giving them up however, everytie I crave a latte and would go buy one, I place $4 in a shoebox with ZAMBUCKS on it. Now that money will be given to a child in Zambia who desperately needs a CURE. Credit for the name goes to my dad, who jokingly coined starbucks "bigbucks" since he prefers cheap, homemade coffee. I hope to spread my conviction to the hearts of others around me and support the cost for my trip to Zambia this summer, which funds the entire outreach, where many children will finally find their CURE, first physically, and then my prayer, spiritually, through the eternal healing touch of Jesus Christ.
I love the idea of Zambucks. Because of your creative way to sacrifice your own comfort and finances, I was inspired to start my own form of "Zambucks." Every time I crave a latte, I now donate $4 to my own trip to Zambia. When I actually give in to the craving and buy one, I donate at least $8, and am therefore supporting my cause either way. Thanks for the idea!
