Welcome to the weekend, and welcome to the Saturday 7.
Sometimes the most profound lessons come from the most unexpected places. When Eric Most was in high school, he reluctantly agreed to volunteer at a summer camp, just because his football coach suggested it. There, he discovered something about stewardship and service that transformed his life. Read Eric’s story to learn what it truly means to give of ourselves for someone else’s benefit.
Around the world, local churches are bringing hope, help, and lasting impact to those facing poverty. Compassion International CEO Jimmy Mellado joins NCF’s Kendra VanderMeulen to share how gospel-centered partnerships are transforming communities, powered by both faith and data. Watch the video to see how churches are reaching the world’s most vulnerable.
If you’re curious about how the recently passed tax law may impact your giving, take a moment to explore our new resource page featuring related articles, a downloadable PDF, and a webinar recording to help you make the most of your giving under the new legislation.
Before the holidays arrive and life gets busy, take some time to think about your year-end giving. To help you plan ahead, especially for asset gifts, which take more time, we’ve created a list of key giving deadlines for 2025. Your NCF team is here to help if you have any questions or would like to talk about specific gift opportunities.
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.
