However, surprisingly 12 of evangelicals&#8217; top 19 organizations were also found in non-evangelicals&#8217; top 20 organizations. And in some instances, evangelicals might be shocked by those entities&#8217; values and activities, which are incongruent with a biblical worldview.<\/p><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Opportunity &#8211; Year-End Matching Campaign<\/strong><\/span><\/p><p>On this Giving Tuesday, Empowering Action reiterates our commitment to giving the truth of the Gospel and the life-changing precepts of Scripture.
