Choosing where to give charitably can be incredibly overwhelming. Friends, churches, and organizations always have needs, and God regularly gives us opportunities to help those in need. How can you determine the best places to give charitably? Where does the Bible suggest that you give financially?
Cameron Doolittle’s book Joy Giving gives some helpful insights into ways to categorize giving decisions. He urges us to consider giving first to our local congregation (church) and those who teach us. Then to give to people who are proclaiming the Gospel. Finally, we give to people who are in need.
Today we mention several organizations that we love, such as IJM and Hope International. There are thousands of other fantastic organizations that you can give to. We hope that this conversation will help spur you on to be a joyful partner to those institutions you choose to give to.
