A surprising fact and a great opportunity on Giving Tuesday:
Fact – Evangelicals Favor Secular Charities
A 2022 survey revealed that while 84% of evangelicals stated that they preferred to support Christian organizations to non-Christian ones, only 46% of evangelical donors indicated a faith-based organization as their preferred charity. Furthermore, only 5% of evangelical donors donated exclusively to ministries, such as Empowering Action, engaged solely in Christian work of preaching, teaching, or missions.
It is true that through common grace God demonstrates that, without renewing the heart, He can exercise such influence that even the unsaved are enabled to perform good deeds toward their fellow man. However, surprisingly 12 of evangelicals’ top 19 organizations were also found in non-evangelicals’ top 20 organizations. And in some instances, evangelicals might be shocked by those entities’ values and activities, which are incongruent with a biblical worldview.
Opportunity – Year-End Matching Campaign
On this Giving Tuesday, Empowering Action reiterates our commitment to giving the truth of the Gospel and the life-changing precepts of Scripture. Our current Year-end General Fund Matching Campaign allows you to commemorate our 10th anniversary and partner with a ministry that strives for biblical fidelity in both belief and behavior.
For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ. – 1 Cor. 2:16
