Mark Batterson of National Community Church in Washington DC wrote about an idea that their staff had on planning retreat. Here is it: "We all get a million catalogs at Christmas. Why not produce a Christmas catalog with tangible gifts that people can give to missions?"
I began to think about how often I encourage & plead with people to look beyond themselves & to give towards things that make a real difference. I thought this was a great way to make people aware of needs as well as tangible gifts to give to others across the world. The link is www.aoneeight.org. By the way, check out the "Marketplace" page; it is quite helpful.
