At the Anglican Foundation, we fully embrace this concept and invite grant and bursary recipients to pay it forward by making a donation so that the next group of applicants will be the beneficiaries of AFC’s generosity as they have.

This month, I read a remarkable story of the power of this concept. At the Dairy Queen in Brainerd, Minnesota, an older gentleman pulled up to the drive-through window at the height of the lunch hour on Thursday, December 3.
The Dairy Queen cashier rang up the orders and thought that would be the end of it. But two days and hundreds of cars later, she and the rest of the crew were still ringing up “pay it forward” orders as each person who came to the drive-through window offered to pay for the customer behind them.
In the end, it spanned more than 900 cars over 2 ½ days.
As each person came to the window, they were told their order had already been paid for, and were given the option to keep it going. Nobody wanted to break the chain.

I wish you all as Merry a Christmas as possible and prayers for a more hopeful 2021.
