12 Reasons NOT to Give to World Missions

We don’t need to give because our small gifts don’t make any difference.

We don’t need to give because giving requires a small amount of effort on our part and we can’t be bothered.

We don’t need to give because no one ever gave us anything.

We don’t need to give because there are always better things we can spend our money on like fine wine, fuel for our cars or products to make us look more attractive.

We don’t need to give because giving is about showing God’s love and we don’t care.

We don’t need to give because giving is about sharing in the task we don’t believe God has given us.   

We don’t need to give because we aren’t grateful for Jesus death on our behalf.

We don’t need to give because we cannot afford to give.

We don’t need to give because we don’t personally know anyone in need and in any case we are suffering
compassion fatigue from all those distressing pictures on TV.

We don’t need to give because the poor don’t mind if their babies die of diseases that are cheaply and easily treated; there are plenty more babies to take their place.

We don’t need to give because we already give to our local church and that is enough to transform lives across the world.       

We don’t need to give so that the Gospel is proclaimed because men, women and children are better off living in ignorance and going to hell.

So why give?

If you are not convinced by the reasons above and feel despite these you should give why not give to SIM a International Christian mission agency working in some of the neediest countries in the world. We seek to proclaim the Gospel and show God’s love in very practical ways in some of the world’s poorest countries.
