So, this December, much like every December is the Christmas
season. As of today, there are
only 24 shopping days left till Christmas, and your kids will hate you forever
if you don’t get them the Angry Birds live action game all their friends are
getting.
I know you hear it all the time, but there’s more to this
season than shopping. On the other
hand, giving freely as we’ve been given is one of the great markers of a
Christ-follower.
On that note, here’s something you may not hear a lot
about. Almost all Christian
non-profits make or break their budget in December every year. It’s the month when supporters are most
generous, but it’s also the most stressful month of the year if donations
aren’t coming in.
In light of this, I’m going to be featuring a link and a
little blurb about non-profits I think are worthy of supporting everyday from
now until Christmas. Some of them
you may have heard of, and some of them you may not have. The criteria for the non-profits are
three-fold: they must be
God-centered, they must be financially accountable, and finally they must have a
mission that includes one of the following: reach the lost, empower believers,
or help those in need in the name of Jesus.
I encourage readers of these pages to take some of the funds
you’ve set aside for holiday shopping and give to those in need during this
Christmas season.

Featured Non-Profit:
Samaritan’s Purse derives its name from the parable of the
Good Samaritan who opened his purse for a man in desperate need. Headed by Franklin Graham, they are an
international Christian relief and evangelism organization that provides
spiritual and physical aid to victims of war, poverty, natural disaster, and
disease.
Here’s a video with one way you can get involved:
