Make a difference in ONE life! 

2011 Gifts of Purpose from Lifesong for Orphans on Vimeo.

 

It's that time of year again. Holiday music rings through your speaker systems. Decorations light up your street corners. Families gather together.It's the season of love, joy and family.  

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ during this season of giving, we often forget to give to those who NEED it most! 

This year give differently. Give FAMILYto the 147 million orphans worldwide who dream of belonging. Give HOPE to children living on the streets whose only Christmas wish is survival.

What if, this year, your family gave a gift to those who need it most? A gift that won't fit under the tree? 

Would you consider making a difference in ONE LIFE...

  •  Help a child break free from gripping poverty.
  •  Give the love of Jesus through Christian mentors.
  •  Give a future to an orphan's caregiver.

This year join Lifesong for Orphans in giving a gift with purpose. A gift that will speak Jesus to a child.  

Introducing...


Give Purpose. Bring Joy.

in small ways

Today in my Bible study I was reading through some of the Psalms.  I love that book, don’t you?  I love the truth it speaks to my soul when I am discouraged.  I love that it often gives my day much needed perspective.  I love that it exemplifies the imperfect, flawed love of man for his Savior, and the perfect, righteous love of his God.

This morning I read in Psalm 10:

Lord, you know the hopes of the helpless.  Surely you will listen to their cries and comfort them.  You will bring justice to the orphans and oppressed, so people can no longer terrify them.

And then in Psalm 12:

The Lord replies, “I have seen the violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor.  Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do.” 

The Lord’s promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over.  Therefore, Lord, we know you will protect the oppressed, preserving them forever from this lying generation, even though the wicked strut about, and evil is praised throughout the land.

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.  How the world we live in celebrates evil… not just excuses it… but celebrates it!  Sometimes I get discouraged.  Sometimes I get down right mad.  But aren’t you thankful that fixing the world is not up to us?  Aren’t you glad that our God sees the “violence done to the helpless” and hears the “groans of the poor?”  Aren’t you glad that He will “bring justice to the orphans and oppressed, so people can no longer terrify them?”

Boy, I am!

I am also thankful that He allows me to be a part of it… no matter how small.  And that He desires to use me… that He finds joy in showing His power through His church! 

This winter I got to witness this power.  I saw people give through our Gifts of Purpose catalog, some big, but mostly in smaller amounts.  And you know what… we raised over $65,000 on behalf of the helpless, the poor, the orphan!

Sometimes I think, “I don’t want to give small... I want to wait until I can afford to give BIG and really make a difference.”  But I have personally witnessed God produce big returns on what little I have to give.  That’s the beauty of it.  We are not the ones who save here… He is!  He just wants us to get the blessing of being a part of it!

So here’s the thing… You can still give through Lifesong’s Gift of Purpose catalog… You can still give in honor of a loved one, for their birthday, anniversary, or just for fun.  Just click here and pick where you want to give!
