Instead of complaining, marching, and rioting about an issue, do something that helps now! We reap what we sow, so instead of sowing discord, sow seeds to sprout life. Donate your money, your time, and your prayers. Every negative problem is an opportunity for positive change. 

Many fine organizations and ministries are actively involved in issues around the world. Pray for them to be good stewards, to meet the needs of the nations in Christ’s name. Pray, donate and get involved in ways that you can. Instead of complaining, respond in love. All around you are ways to make a positive impact.

We are so blessed to live in a time where we can immediately see and respond to needs around the world. I’ve compiled a small list of some of the ministries we know, but there are many, many others. What has God laid on your heart? How can you help?

If you are concerned about the refugee issue, donate and get involved …

“If a brother or sister is without clothes and lacks daily food and one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace, keep warm, and eat well,’ but you don’t give them what the body needs, what good is it?” ~ James 2:15-16 (HCSB)
