4 Last Minute Business as Mission Christmas Ideas
Looking for some last minute things to purchase this year for Christmas? Here's a few last minute ideas involving business as mission groups that have been featured on this blog in the past few weeks.
#1- Christmas Cards from Africa
Cards from Africa is a Business as Mission company that has been in the news (and featured on this blog) a lot over the past few weeks. If you are still looking for some last minute Christmas Cards or are ready to start planning ahead for next year, check out this link to view their Christmas selection.
#2- Buy a Christmas Tree ... in Uganda
From the Kibo Group Team "I'm about to help you out here with an amazing idea for your Christmas shopping. You know that nagging problem of what to get for the person who has everything? Well, this should solve that one. I bet they don't have their very own tree in Uganda. Click on the link below and you can buy one, get a cool Christmas card you can plant (yes, a card you can plant when you are done) and it will grow flowers (no kidding) and you get an ornament that will have a number on it marking the GPS coordinates of your tree in Uganda." (Better click on the link below if you want it to make sense)
#3- Give a Business as Mission Book to a Friend
Every so often a book comes along that can capture the hearts and the minds of a generation or a movement. The words on the paper come alive and change the way we have thought about issues and ideas for years. If your one of those people that have been deeply impacted by one of these books, I would encourage you to pick up a copy and give it to a friend. If your looking for specific books, look on the resource tab on the left or click on this review: "The Top 5 Business as Mission Readings."
#4- Download Christmas Video Clips to Share with the Family
Five years ago when Steve Jobs and Apple Computer introduced the iPod, they had no idea that their creativity would impact the church. Now you can download high quality video clips about Christmas. They can be a great way to spend a few minutes reliving the story with your family, friends, or in your church or business. Be sure the check out the clips on Mary, What is the Meaning of Christmas? and The Christmas Story with Steven Curtis Chapman. The best thing about it is they don't cost the $15-20 that other sites might charge, but they cost the same price of a video clip on iTunes ($1.99) .
