What would you do if your boss gave you $50 and told you to go do something good with it?
That's the assignment Bob Brumleu gave his employees at Omni Duct, an Anaheim manufacturer, in 2007.
His assignment is familiar to many local Christians whose churches have implemented the Kingdom Assignment, started as a lesson in stewardship by Denny Bellesi in 2000 when he was pastor of Coast Hills Community Church in Aliso Viejo. He's now head of Kingdom Assignment International in Lake Forest that has spread the project worldwide.

On a mission to live out parable of talents
White House Fork church raises close to $19,000 to help those in need

WHITE HOUSE FORK — In September, pastor Rick Brewster put 25 members of his Whitehouse Fork Ministries church on a nine-week mission.
Brewster said he hoped the end result would encourage parishioners to continue moving out of their safety zone and into the world of putting others in need before themselves.
The project, based on the "Kingdom Assignment" program that started in a California church in 2000, centers around the parable of the talents found in the New Testament book of Matthew, chapter 25.

A pastor's experiment proves beneficial to charities
By Lynn O'Shaughnessy
Inspired by a Biblical tale and a Hollywood movie, a minister in Southern California started a movement with a pocketful of cash that encourages people to discover creative ways to help others. The idea, officially called the Kingdom Assignment, has been adopted primarily by churches around the country and overseas. But religious organizers who have created similar programs say that other nonprofit organizations could duplicate some version of the charitable venture.

Building Hopes House
Terry Zwick was one of Pastor Denny's one-hundred-dollar-bill recipients. At first, she didn't know what to do, but she soon met Lisa, a young mother desperately in need of help.
