Give the Gift of Hope This Christmas Season
Do you know how many women, men, and children in Ukraine you made smile this year?
At Music Mission Kiev, we know well over 1,000 souls were brightened through your generosity and giving. It's only fitting to end the year with another heartfelt THANK YOU for the many ways you have blessed them and us.
Many people say giving is the reason for the season. After all, this is the when God gave us the greatest gift of all: His only son—God with us. What a tremendous example of humility and giving through the power of love.
"We love because he first loved us." – 1 John 4:19 ESV
I'm reminded of a recent story we shared on our website, where Tamara, one of our widows, received important medicines. She was excited and pleasantly surprised because she did not expect this kind of help, especially during these difficult times.
Through your generosity, widows like Tamara are shown that same unexplainable and surprising power of love. It's through moments like these that we proclaim the Gospel to the country of Ukraine and to the world.
As we approach the end of the year, we reflect on all that we've accomplished together, despite a difficult year, and look forward to 2021.
The end of the year is the most popular time for charitable donations, and we want to remind you this month is your last chance to make a tax-deductible donation and make an impact this giving season. Experts report, "approximately 31% of all annual giving occurs in December and approximately 12% of all annual giving occurs in the last three days of December. Specifically, 28% of nonprofits (that's us) raise between 26 – 50% of their annual funds for their year-end ask."
Time is almost up to make your tax-deductible gift for 2020. We hope and pray your heart is filled with a warming glow as you consider how best to invest your gifts to the charities you support. Our hope is God will multiply your generosity 10, 20, or even 100 times over, because you give out of compassion for those needing it the most.
Will you consider giving to Music Mission Kiev before the clock rolls over to 2021?
