Since Thanksgiving we heard much buzz about Black Friday and Cyber Monday. These two days serve as important beginnings to the Christmas shopping seasons for retailers. Just as many retailers rely heavily on the Christmas season, many nonprofits are greatly helped by year-end giving. Giving Tuesday began a few years ago and focuses our attention to those in need in the midst of the holiday season.

While there are a myriad of great organizations who would benefit from our generosity today, I want to highlight two for your consideration.
Altar84
Millions of children live on the streets and in orphanages around the world. Altar84 equips the local church to care for orphans locally and globally. “While the needs of orphans and vulnerable children all over the world are vast and seemingly out of touch for us all…God has given the solution to this vast problem and that is His church. If there is going to be significant impact on the global orphan crises it will have to be in and through the church. This is why Altar84 is committed to educating and resourcing the church to do the work of orphan care. Altar84 exists to alter the lives of orphans and children in need as well those who seek to serve them in the name of Jesus Christ. We are committed to offer all that He has given us—our lives, our resources, our talents — to increase awareness of the orphan crisis and our call to care through word and action.” You can learn more about Altar84 and how to partner with their mission on their website.

Haiti Collective
The 2010 Haiti earthquake opened the world’s eyes to the many needs in the country of Haiti. The Haiti Collective came into being to equip the local church in Haiti to minister to their neighbors in both word and deed. They accomplish this by connecting local churches in the United States with churches in Haiti. You can here more about their mission and how you can help in the video below or by visiting them online.
