Season of Giving




For the countries and cultures that celebrate Christmas, in one way or another, it is known as a season of giving.  One verse that is used frequently during this time of year is Acts 20:35, “it is more blessed to give, than to receive.”  However, did you know that this verse was spoken by the Apostle Paul (quoting Jesus) near the end of his third missionary journey?  Paul was certainly not making reference to Christmas, but he was speaking to the elders of the church in Ephesus and explaining that as believers we are to “support the weak” (v. 35) as he was doing on his mission trip.

Everywhere Global Infusion teams go, we proclaim the Gospel to the lost and unreached, disciple the believer, and minister to the poor.  We give away food, Bibles, medicine, clothing, shoes, toys, and so much more.  A few weeks ago, our Global Infusion mission team to India left our contact with the only camera GI owns—which we use regularly to document our work and film videos for updates.  This camera has gone to a district leader in India that will use it to document the work he and all of his Pastors throughout the region are doing—which is vitally important for their ministry’s strategic planning efforts.


Help GI get a new camera:  DONATE 
(Select "GI: Camera" under "Designate My Donation") 

While this may seem insignificant in the natural, it is a seed for another ministry—people we have partnered with for life that are doing everything they can to reach the unreached at any cost.  This is only a small example of what GI teams do on a regular basis.  You can help us do more and reach more people with your support.  Please consider supporting Global Infusion as we venture out into the world, as the Apostle Paul did.  We will continue to preach, and continue to give.  As Christians, our entire lives should be a season of giving, because He gave so much for us
