Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Disaster response is one of the greatest ways NCF givers have demonstrated their love and compassion through generosity over the years. It’s amazing to see the outpouring of care every time something terrible hits. Today’s top story will help you learn about the phases of crisis relief and how your compassionate response can also be a strategic one.
Wars around the world have left destruction and displaced people in their wake. Local and global natural disasters have also impacted communities you care about. To enable you to respond effectively, we’ve created a new crisis-relief page. When disasters strike, we’ll add stories here and provide ongoing updates to help you give more wisely.
How can we live life openhandedly and with a mindset of abundance rather than scarcity? Listen as Kingdom Citizen host Kevin Philips explains God’s purpose for us to live lives where generosity is an outpouring of our hearts.
On February 24, 2022, when Russia launched its full-scale war against Ukraine, NCF givers responded with one of the greatest outpourings of generosity we’ve ever witnessed, sending more than $87 million to support 906 charities. If Ukraine is still on your heart, visit our crisis-relief page to read about how you can wisely support ongoing efforts now and even after the war ends.
PARTING SHOT
Is there someone you can help in your neighborhood? Whether it’s shoveling snow from someone’s sidewalk or helping someone escape an alligator emerging from an icy swimming pool, keep your eyes open for someone you can help.
Saturday 7 is brought to you by our team at the National Christian Foundation (NCF). We would love to help you create your Giving Strategy™, so you can experience more joy and adventure as you pursue a life of generosity. Find an NCF location near you at ncfgiving.com/locations.
