With the lead up to Christmas, most people are looking to buy things for their friends and family. Many of these wan their money to be going to benefit groups and people that they care about, from orphans to missionaries to the poor.
So, this month I'm going to let you know of some organisations that you can get presents from that allow you to give gifts AND help bring people to Christ or make a difference in their lives.
Today's organisation is Voice of the Martyrs. VOM works around the world with people who are being persecuted for their faith in Jesus, including providing support for the widows and orphans of those who have been martyred, support for families whose breadwinner is imprisioned for their faith, legal representation, medical assistance, education and ministry training and more.
VOM has a variety of things you can do for Christmas. Their main focus at the moment is their Christmas Care Nigeria packs, which provide materials for Christian children in Nigeria. Materials include a children's Bible, rice, school supplies and a soccor ball among other things.
They also have other funds, including the providing literature fund, help for families, and equipping the persecuted funds. All of these are worthwhile.
You can also purchase items from VOM. Items include devotional materials, books, CDs and DVDs on the reality of life in a hostile country and materials for children.
Definitely worth thinking about for gifts!
