Donate: Christian Charity is a Virtue and Practice
Christians everywhere are familiar that charity is part of being a Christian. Charity could mean unlimited loving-kindness to some, or charity could mean giving to those in need, but to organizations like The Bible League of Canada, it means both. Charitable donations go a long way when helping those in need, and many organizations are able to help others in many different situations.
Where do Christian Charity Donations Go?
When you donate to a Christian charity, the donation can be used in various ways depending on the organization you donate towards. One of the most common missions which accept donations are helping underprivileged children in North America and around the world. Many who offer specific child sponsorship are able to provide you with updates specific to the child you are donating towards; updates may include information about their schooling, health, and social activities. Although helping children is one of the more common focuses for Christian organizations, there are many others including Bible-based literacy, scripture placement, and church planter training. Organizations like The Bible League of Canada can provide specific information towards how your generous donation is helping others in communities abroad.
How Can I Donate to a Christian Charity?
If you are looking to donate to a Christian charity, the many organizations accept donations in various ways. Organizations like The Bible League of Canada accept monetary donations online, by phone, or by mail, as well as donations of your time to helping missions around the world, but there are other organizations who accept donations in a somewhat uncommon manner: car donations. Donating a car to charity offers the same tax deductions offered by other Christian charitable organizations. A growing trend for Christians across North America is to donate an old car or a car that simply isn’t used, and the organization will arrange to have it picked up at no cost to you. However, most Christians still prefer donating currency directly to organizations like The Bible League of Canada and knowing exactly how their generous donation has helped others.

Discussing such topics as education, the relationship between “conversion” and “civilization, ” and the problem of defining the Enlightenment, the contributors break new ground by setting the British missionary awakening in the context of its continental European predecessor.

Missions, Nationalism, and the End of Empire $37 “An important review of Christian missions in the twentieth century. Christian missions have often been seen as the religious arms of Western imperialism. What is rarely appreciated is the role they played in bringing about an end of the Western colonial empires after the Second World War. This book explores this neglected subject. Here respected authorities on the history of missions explore new territory. These chapters examine from diverse angles the linkages between Christianity, nationalism, and the dissolution of the colonial empires in Asia and Africa. This work not only sheds light on the relation of religion and politics but also uncovers the sometimes paradoxical implications of the church’s call to bring the gospel to all the world.” |

Greatest Is Charity $29.99 “That the name of Andrew Reed (1787-1862) should be better known will be obvious to all who read Dr Ian Shaw’s excellent biography- Here is the story of one of the truly great preachers of the Victorian age, who built up a church of under a hundred to one regularly numbering around two thousand, during his half century as pastor – in Stepney, London- Above all, Andrew Reed is to be remembered for his vital work in establishing three orphanages, two homes for those with what we call today “learning disabilities’ and a “hospice’ for those with severe physical disabilities. Four of the charities Andrew Reed founded still continue their work today, although in changed form-In a day when – society is in serious danger of forgetting or neglecting its Christian roots, this book is an exceptional reminder that our heritage of care and compassion has excellent models based upon the highest principles and motivation-” |
