From Erik Tryggestad, president and CEO

In the past few days many of you have reached out about the needs in Kentucky and other states affected by the deadly storms of Dec. 10-11. It’s great to know that people of faith are willing to help, and it’s important that we give the right kind of help. In our coverage you’ll find links to churches and ministries collecting funds for storm victims.

Follow the links to contribute and to learn more about opportunities to volunteer. I pray that the help we give will really help those in need — and that we will demonstrate God’s love to all we encounter.

Read our Kentucky tornado coverage and find links to help.

In these final days of 2021, I also pray that you will consider a year-end, tax-deductible contribution to The Christian Chronicle. Your gift will keep this ministry strong as we bring you stories like our coverage of the Kentucky tornadoes. With all the uncertainty and divisiveness that plagues our society nowadays, I’m convinced that there’s never been a better time for real news that honors God. Please consider a gift of any amount. Or, if you are able, please consider becoming one of our founding Chronicle Associates with a gift of $1,000 or more. Please feel free to contact me at [email protected] if you have questions. Thank you!

Make a year-end contribution to The Christian Chronicle.
