NHCers are already sharing how they are giving goats, chickens, sheep, cows, etc. to 3rd World families with the money they're saving this Christmas by not splurging on gifts.
Want to know how to do that? Here are some suggestions for your Advent Conspiracy giving.
Go to World Vision. They can take your financial gift and with it purchase the gift - a goat, pig, sheep, emergency food - you choose and see that a needy family gets it.
Another idea is Compassion International. There you can take your financial savings and invest it in the care and education of a child. You'll get to communicate with that child via mail and share photos, etc. A number of our congregation, including our youth group have "adopted" Compassion Intl. children. ChristianBook.com has a great offer right now. Sponsor a Compassion Child and they'll give you a $25 gift card. Here's the link.
A third option is to help Tammy Stump, one of our own NHC partners, finish the orphanage she is building in Nepal. She's there right now overseeing the construction. Her mission, Amazi International has the info for projects with which your gift can make a difference.
Larry and Sheila Benson's mission includes a clinic and a Christian school on a tiny island off the coast of Honduras. There are always needs in both school and clinic, and you can send a gift for either or both. The Bensons are NHC partners and 3 of their mission's board members are as well. Go to Missions Encounters International for ideas.
