What have you given lately?
Deuteronomy 15:11 For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, “You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land.”
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimates that about 815 million people of the 7.6 billion people in the world, or 10.7%, were suffering from chronic undernourishment in 2016.
Get pregnant in the developing world, and your chances of dying or being disabled as a result are one in four.
If your child survives the pregnancy and labour, then he or she still has a one-in-10 chance of dying by the age of five.
Survive all this and your child's chances of going on to join the world's army of child labourers are around one in 10 in Asia and one in four in Africa.
Estimates of homelessness in the United States range from fewer than 600,000 to more than 1.5 million people.
150 million people in the world are homeless or 2% of the world population.
Right this very second your brothers and sisters are suffering. How can we pray for prosperity when we have everything we need and our fellow man suffers? What would Jesus think if we bought that shiny new watch instead of giving the money to a homeless man. How can we enjoy a new leather sofa whilst people in our neighbourhood are sleeping rough?
A shocking 3 in 4 people who are blind worldwide don't need to be. You can change that. Vulnerable people at risk of blindness in the world’s poorest places need you. Just by donating monthly you could literally be preventing blindness!
As Christians we need to do more and give more. There's plenty of charities out there in this dark, fallen world. Go and sign up for monthly subscriptions. Put faith into action. Just ask yourself this one question: WWJD? What would Jesus do?
Help prevent and alleviate hunger. Protect children from the horrors of abuse. Prevent cruelty to animals. Prevent people from becoming blind. And the list goes on and on... so whatever charities you choose, remember, you will be storing up gifts for yourself in heaven and you will feel better as a human being.
Mark 10:21 And Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, “You lack one thing: go, sell all that you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.”
