This document is the result of an intensive study of the Bible's passages on giving and caring in an effort to identify charitable themes and categories. Those verses are then organized into the broad themes of the ministries of God's Word, God's mercy, and God's justice, and further broken down into specific categories such as the poor and needy, evangelism, widows and orphans, and more. It is helpful for client-advisor discussion and study.
