Evangelism Resources

This month, the Christian charity that we are promoting is Living Waters Publications. "Living Waters Publications is an interdenominational ministry whose purpose is to educate God’s people in the principles of Biblical evangelism; to encourage the Body of Christ to faithfully fulfill the Great Commission; and to equip every individual believer with the necessary resources to practically proclaim the everlasting gospel. We do this through the teaching and preaching of God’s Word and through the production and dissemination of various printed and audio/visual mediums." (Taken from the Living Waters Publications web site.)

We have a special place in our hearts for children, especially those who are living in destitute areas around the world. This month, we are promoting Compassion International. Compassion International exists as a Christian child advocacy ministry that releases children from spiritual, economic, social and physical poverty and enables them to become responsible, fulfilled Christian adults. As part of our charitable donations, Hip-Edge.com matches the donation given by Kerusso every time one of our christian wristbands is sold.

Samaritan's Purse is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world. Since 1970, Samaritan's Purse has helped meet needs of people who are victims of war, poverty, natural disasters, disease, and famine with the purpose of sharing God's love through His Son, Jesus Christ. The organization serves the Church worldwide to promote the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Please check out Operation Christmas Child that they run, it is such a great ministry that takes an ordinary shoe box, filled with toys and other presents, and presents that extraordinary gift for a child in need of joy and hope. Most important, these shoe boxes provide opportunities for local believers to tell children about Jesus Christ through Gospel literature and evangelism programs. “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift” (2 Corinthians 9:15, NIV). Please consider giving to this christian charity.
