Focus on Persecutions

Gift Book Gifts with a purpose

Gifts with a PurposeEvery year Im faced with giving gifts to family and friends who already have what they need and what they want. So I have to ask, whats the purpose in giving the gift? Usually I rationalize it by telling myself that its the thought that counts and that I want my friends and relatives to know that they are loved

Your tax deductible gift to Focus on Persecution in the name of one of your friends or family members will make a real difference to a brother or sister in Christ. In addition, well send a handwritten card to your special someone--acknowledging the gift that was made in their name. Best of all, you will have given a gift with a real purpose!
