Featured Cause: Catalogs for Christmas

Mark Batterson is the lead pastor of Washington D.C.’s National Community Church, a unique church that meets in two movie theaters in the nation’s capital.

Mark recently shared the results of a simple idea they built around Christmas catalogs to make a difference for their cause:

At our staff planning retreat we had an idea. We all get a million catalogs at Christmas. Why not produce a Christmas catalog with tangible gifts that people can give to missions?

The end result? NCCers have given $51,880 . That includes 305 goats for families in Ethiopia; 1517 bricks to build an orphanage in Uganda; 4 huts for widows in Malawi; and scholarships for 29 girls in Thailand to get their High School diploma.
