It is so easy to get swept up in the chaos that is the holiday season, isn’t it? Busy families with busy schedules and all of the Christmas activities thrown in, some with meaning and some not. We simply MUST slow down and take moments to enjoy each other and realize that nothing is truly as important as family and giving to others, and sharing the love of Christ. We can easily do this with the ANM Missions Gift Catalog!
Consider spending a few hours on a day that you have everyone’s attention. Turn off the screens for an hour, talk to your kids about why giving back and being thankful is important, and work together to come up with a budget and the perfect gift to give others this holiday season.
I have not done this with my kids yet this year, but I know for a fact that they would want to donate money for a soccer ball. My husband and oldest son went to Honduras for a medical mission trip this summer and they took some soccer balls with them. They were an absolute hit! This is a great way to get kids active in a positive way.
Shopping from the missions gift catalog is a meaningful and impactful way to make a positive difference in the world.
Every purchase from this catalog has a ripple effect, positively impacting not only the kids and their families but also the broader community.
In a world where mass production and consumerism can sometimes lead to exploitation and environmental degradation, purchasing from the missions gift catalog provides an alternative. It allows consumers to shop with a purpose. It allows consumers to make a tangible, positive impact on the lives of others, and contribute to the betterment of communities in need. It’s a simple yet powerful way to align personal values with purchasing decisions and be a part of positive global change.
If your child’s class or group wants to challenge each other to donate their own money for a larger gift, this community toilet would be SO welcomed and is a great goal to work towards.
If you and your family’s finances are tight this year, consider buying a chicken for $3. It’s a small thing that would make a huge impact on someone’s life.
Every gift in the ANM Gift Catalog delivers the love of Jesus in practical ways. You can give a new Christian their very first Bible, provide a child with the first pair of shoes that truly fit, supply livestock and years of reliable food for a family, or purchase a bicycle for a pastor who walks miles daily.
Everyone needs to hear the Gospel message, but some have never had the chance. The Gift Catalog contains more than 20 gifts that have an eternal impact.
As you choose gifts, pray for hearts to be transformed, for new believers, for children, for people reading the Bible for the first time, and for missionaries delivering these gifts and the Gospel message.
“Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God.” – Acts 10:4
