Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
From the day Russia invaded Ukraine, NCF givers began looking for how they could help. One of the best things about a Giving Fund (donor-advised fund) is that there's typically money ready to mobilize for charities at any moment. And that’s exactly what happened. We cannot wait to share with you how much has been given so far.
Equally exciting is that we've witnessed increasing collaboration in the generosity cycle. Not only are givers joining together to leverage resources and ingenuity, but ministries and nonprofits are rapidly connecting to more effectively serve Ukraine. Today, we share some of those stories with you.
Tragedy, exhaustion, and fatigue meet cooperation, commitment, and the brilliant light of the global church. What is happening now, and what can we look forward to when war ends and Ukraine can be rebuilt? If you’re looking for strong biblical hope and encouragement, you will find it here.
How much is God responsible for the amount of money in your assets and accounts? How you answer this question will determine what you do with it and how much joy you experience in stewarding it.
What does simplicity have to do with decisions and discernment? What does uncomplicating our spiritual lives have to do with managing the complexities of what we face now? In this book from NCF's Generosity Library, Richard Foster helps us to rethink our priorities and to order our lives around seeking God's kingdom and his righteousness first.
Why is this an anti-poverty machine? Read story #3 to find out.
