If you already have an understanding of the importance of giving back during the holidays but need some tangible next steps, you’ve come to the right place!
Here are some great ways to get involved and learn how to give back this holiday season.
Give Financially
Every dollar you give makes a difference. Year-end giving can fuel an organization’s goals that they set months or years ago. Consider a one-time gift or a recurring gift this holiday season. By making a donation, you create opportunities for an organization to meet real needs for the upcoming year.
Pray for the Mission
A non-monetary but deeply impactful form of giving is through prayer. Spending intentional time praying for organizations that seek to make a difference across the world is an extremely important way to give back! See prayer prompts below as a guide.
Prayer prompts:
- Pray for generosity and funding
- Pray for open doors in important decisions
- Pray for health and well-being of staff
- Pray for creativity in reaching others
- Pray for growth
