Don't be stuck searching for a Christmas Gift--Choose one of these

Thanks to Shimelle for the pic

Your Christmas Gift can make a great difference. More than a smile or yeehaw is possible with the gifts that I suggest.  I get lots of email, mailers, and ads in my inbox regarding Christmas Deals. But I have discovered the best gift ideas without the frills or the BOGOs. Pick a gift from one of these choices and know that you are changing a life dramatically. Long after your toss the shredded wrappings and you cave on your new year's resolutions, these gifts will bring more than happiness, your gift will bring hope!

I share these Christmas Gift Options in alphabetical order:

• Encompass World Partners (formerly GBIM) challenges you to reach and touch the world with gifts that demonstrate the love of Christ.  
• Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan's Purse where a shoe box gift can bring smiles, laughter, and Gospel opportunities. 
• Persecution.org urges you to choose the persecuted as the recipient of your financial blessings to remove the shackles from your heart and mind to remove the bonds of those under persecution.
• VisionTrust seeks to provide hope to orphans this Christmas. Show God's love to the orphaned and the impoverished children of the world. 
• Voice of the Martyrs provides the opportunity to help Christians in North Africa where Christians are under persecution. 
• WorldVision offers a plethora of gift choices! "Honor family and friends with a gift of love." Then send a free card to the one you are honoring.
