Globally, there are billions of people who have not yet experienced the transformative love of our Savior. Many of these unreached people live in places that are dominated by other majority religions, which means they have had little or no opportunity to hear about the love of God in Jesus Christ and likely have never even met a Christian. This presents a tremendous opportunity to reach so many more for Christ.
God has called Lutheran Hour Ministries to proclaim the risen Savior around the world to reach these people. As a mass communications ministry using locally established ministry centers to develop programs and resources in local languages that are culturally relevant and attractive, we are uniquely poised to reach beyond those areas where Christ is already known.
This life-changing work would not be possible without the support of people like you. This year on GivingTuesday (Nov. 29), you can help these unreached people around the world find answers and relief in the Gospel.
GivingTuesday is a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media and collaboration. Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and the widely recognized shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, GivingTuesday kicks off the charitable season, when people often begin to focus on holiday and end-of-year giving. In fact, studies show that more than 30 percent of donations given to nonprofit organizations annually take place from Thanksgiving through the end of the calendar year.
GivingTuesday was created in 2012 as a simple idea: a day that encourages people to do good. Since then, it has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires tens of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity by supporting the causes that mean the most to them. Nearly $2.7 billion was donated to U.S. nonprofits during last year’s GivingTuesday to benefit a tremendously broad range of organizations, and much more was given in volunteer hours, donations of materials, and acts of kindness.
