CHICAGO, IL (December 3, 2018) – Throughout the Advent season, Covenant Newswire is highlighting daily gift selections from the CovenantCares giving guide. Through the free annual catalog, Covenanters can partner with brothers and sisters around the globe to give gift donations that will help serve communities and advance God’s work in many areas.

Today we highlight the opportunity to help ministers in the midst of crisis. Studies repeatedly show that ministers experience more stress and demands than ever before. That stress is amplified when they suffer a catastrophe, family illness, or emotional challenges.

Thanks to the generosity of Covenanters, Develop Leaders has been able to help thousands of ministers in times of crisis with financial assistance, health referrals, and advocacy.

This and other missional gift-giving options are available now through CovenantCares Gifts for Mission. Please join us in advancing the mission.
