USPG Launches Life-Giving Gifts for Christmas

Each Christmas, we remember the unique gift of life that God has given each of us in the person of Jesus. With so much to organise, it can be hard to put this at the centre of our celebrations. USPG's new fundraising scheme hopes that these gifts might be one way of remembering all that we have been given. This Christmas, change the lives of people around the world by buying an alternative gift from USPG.

Your money will be spent on anything from equipping a school playground in South Africa, to helping reconciliation work in Pakistan and India, to buying HIV tests for hospitals in Malawi.

You can use their online catalogue to buy a life-changing gift for friends or family this Christmas. Alternatively, your church could club together to send one of the larger gifts to help a community. Each gift that you buy will make a real difference to people round the world through the help of local Christians, supported by USPG.

All the money raised by these gifts will go towards USPG's work in supporting churches throughout the world, including the projects in this catalogue. Your life-changing gift will make a difference not just this Christmas, but far into the future.

The Bible and food: why it's so much more than eating

Eating - and eating together - is never a side note in the biblical story. It is one of the ways God forms community, renews covenant, and reveals Himself.
