Unto Christian ministry calls for increased giving as global crises deepen

Kaitlynn Watkins, vice‑president of development at the Unto Christian ministry, argues that charitable giving is more critical than ever because wars, food shortages, natural disasters and collapsed infrastructure are affecting millions. She stresses that American Christians have the resources to support the Great Commission and urges donors to research organizations for transparency and strategic impact. Unto's model relies on local staff to assess community needs and direct aid accordingly.
