1. Continue To Give
This amazing online platform addresses an all too-common problem — sometimes, it’s just inconvenient to tithe. While inconvenience should never be an excuse to not follow God’s Word, it’s not like there’s an ATM in the church vestibule waiting for you to withdraw cash when the offering plate comes around. If only tithing and making a monetary gift to a godly charity was as easy as shopping on your phone. That’s where Continue To Give comes in. With their mobile giving tools, they make it easy for anyone to make a gift at any time to not only churches, but also missionaries, nonprofits, individuals and more.
2. Soundly Written

Soundly Written enables these individuals to quickly author their text using a profound system to speed up the writing process.

By producing a book from your voice recordings, making it easy to turn sermons or lessons straight into your own publication.
