With an Alternative Christmas gift, you honor your loved ones and make a difference in the lives of people around the world at the same time. Alternative Christmas Gifts don’t get returned because the recipient already has one. They’re perfect for the person who has “everything” and are sure to bring smiles to the gift recipient and to the faces of global partners.
You are welcome to make a general gift to support Global Ministries, or make a gift to support the work of a current or new missionary, or support any of the many Global Ministries Special Projects listed for each Mission Area on the
Global Ministries website. For this year's suggested projects, click the
Alternative Christmas Suggested Projects List link. If you would like us to help you choose a project, please contact us at (317) 713-2564.
You may make your gift online by clicking the yellow button below marked "Give a Gift Online," or you may send your check along with the attached
short information form to:

Please indicate the name and address of your honoree(s) and the designation you have chosen. We can either send you a special Global Ministries Christmas card for each person that you give an alternative gift to, or we can send the Christmas card directly to the person(s) with a photo of the work you are supporting. You also will receive a receipt for your gift along with a letter of appreciation for your support.
If your gifts are designated for particular programs, they will go in their entirety for the designated purpose to that international partner. No administrative fees are taken from designated gifts to Global Ministries because of the faithful giving from our churches to Our Church's Wider Mission (UCC) and the Disciples Mission Fund.
