Here’s to the Givers of the World …
… givers of all sizes and ages, from different walks of life and various income levels. They give not because of a date on the calendar; they’re not yielding to obligation or seeking to impress. They are God’s beloved cheerful givers. When they throw a banquet, they invite the poor and dispossessed — and, as Jesus promised, they are blessed (Luke 14: 12-14).
The stories that follow show the impact of relatively simple gifts in developing communities. And they put a few names and faces to the many generous people behind these love offerings, which, as you will see, are changing lives around the world. »
