Are You Up for the Challenge?

by | Dec 19, 2016

YOUR GIFT ENSURES URGENT NEEDS ARE MET QUICKLY

Your entire life can change in an instant. All it takes is one disaster, one illness, one crisis. At the end of 2016, we want to help people prepare for whatever 2017 holds.

Will you help local churches be the hands and feet of Christ when a crisis hits?

A group of generous individuals has committed to give $100,000 to meet urgent needs around the world through the NCM Global Fund. They’re challenging you to double that amount—and its impact—by helping raise another $100,000.

Friends, together we can turn $100,000 into $200,000 and bring hope to children and families this year.

Are you up for the challenge?


MEETING URGET NEEDS

This year, we have seen destruction, grief, and loss in millions of refugees fleeing their homes. … the hurricane that left a wake of devastation in the Caribbean and southeast United States. … an earthquake that affected thousands in Ecuador. … the global water crisis … famine and hunger in countries across the world.

In each of these situations, local churches were there to meet urgent needs.

And by supporting their efforts throughout this year, you were there, too. 

By joining the year-end giving challenge, you will continue to be there when someone needs you most.

When disasters, crisis, conflict, hunger, and so many other urgent needs arise, your gift to the NCM Global Fund will be there to:

  • Meet immediate needs—food, water, shelter, and more.
  • Provide safety, stability, and hope to vulnerable children.
  • Show compassion to those fleeing violence and danger.
  • Offer Christ’s love when hope and love seem distant.
