Last year we were thrilled to give away $114,000 to ministries. Since then, God has expanded our vision and multiplied our resources and we are about to award $150,000 to ministries in the first season of Giving of Life 2012.

Believe it or not, this first season of Giving of Life for 2012 closes today at 5:00 p.m. ET. But it ain't over yet! If you haven't voted five times for a ministry you care about, then be sure to get those extra votes!

On this Mother’s Day, the Giving of Life team would like to applaud all our applicants who seek to transform the lives of women and their children. We salute you for standing up for single mothers, helping victims become conquerors, and bringing a healing touch to broken families.
