Christians donate more despite recession

by Scott Gilbreath ~ April 28th, 2009

Stewardship, a Christian financial support charity in the UK, finds that giving has increased three percent during the last six months.

Since October last year, some 30,000 Sovereign Account holders with the ministry have donated more than £24 million in support to charities, churches and mission workers.

Stewardship Chief Executive, David Jones, said: “Our clients tend to have a planned approach to their giving. As such, they are less likely to see giving as a discretionary expenditure and cut back in difficult times.”

On the negative side, donations made by British Christians to support overseas missionaries have lower value because the pound has declined.
