The RED List -- Christmas Continues at The RightNow Campaign

Red. It’s the color of Christmas.

During this time of year, a little green can buy you all kinds of things red: red coffee cups, red mp3 players, red clothes at the mall, red cell phones, red “you name it.” In January, a little of that red will be gone. Life will move back to a rainbow of colors. But in the meantime, we’re all going to be seeing red.

What comes to your mind when you think of red? I know one thing I think of is the red product sold by companies like Ipod, Gap and American Express. Proceeds from these products are given to purchase medicine for AIDS victims. The world’s attention has been focused on the AIDS crisis in Africa through the color red.

No matter what your thoughts may be about these products, it nonetheless shows that when people collectively focus their attention on a cause, things begin to happen.

Whether we have met you at an event like Fusion, Passion or through our online database of mission opportunities on RightNow.org, we consider you part of a movement in this generation to see change happen in the name of Christ. This year at Christmas we want to help you focus your attention of 10 needs worldwide so that together, we can see change happen.

Here is a list of 10 unique ways that you could potentially make an impact for Christ during the year 2008. Read through them. Ask yourself if you could be the person to meet one of those needs. If you would like more information, give us a call or send us an email. We would love to tell you more about any of the 10 options, or hundreds of other ways you can be involved in what God is doing worldwide.

This year, as you are surrounded by red, stop and think about how God might be asking you to make difference in the world.

We hope you have an amazing holiday celebrating Christ’s birth!

Merry Christmas!
The RightNow Team
