Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
COVID-19 took over newsfeeds last year, so you may have missed this great news. At the end of September 2020, a team completed the first sign-language Bible translation. That leaves 367 sign-language translations to go and about 70 million Deaf people to reach. As awareness of the need grows, so does the number of people rallying together to support this mission. Learn about one of them today.
As a Christian, your generosity is essential to kingdom impact. That’s why we’re asking you to take part in an NCF-sponsored research study, one of the largest ever conducted about Christian giving. We appreciate the generous commitment of your personal time. As a thank you, we will share our key findings about family, legacy, and next-generation generosity with you early next year.
Sometimes, God allows our hearts to break, so they will be open to the joy he wants to send us. That’s what happened to these two families as God prepared their hearts to love a people they didn’t even know yet.
Join us on October 6 at 3 p.m. EST for our Inside Giving webinar for professional advisors, led by Jeanne McMains, NCF Sr. VP of Complex Gift Solutions, and Jeff Waldron, NCF Gift Planning Attorney. Attendees may earn 1.5 hours of CFP® and CKA® credit, as well as certificates of completion for those who would like to self-report their credit hours. See you in October!
Generosity is kindness – a language that can be heard by the deaf and seen by the blind.
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.
