To what need or ministry will you try to give an unprecedented amount this year?

I have been considering this question a lot, knowing the great needs of the many ministries and charities that exist. As we are told by Jesus to "not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing", this will have to be another question that I will answer privately.

I'd like to share a few thoughts from a seminar I attended a few years ago however. We were reminded only Christians will support Christian causes, so we should remember these first in our giving. He also made the point that that we can't take photos of lost souls and that we should be careful of emotionally responding to visual appeals. Of course, this does not preclude giving spontanaouely but that we should not forget the real need of those people to hear the Gospel and to know Christ.

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Matthew 6:3-4
