Your Church in Turbulent Times
With economic downturn and rising unemployment, you probably
have at least five for every 100 wage-earning members in your
church, who are out of work, under financial stress and hurting.
In these turbulent times, one-third of employed people believe
they will be looking for a job within 12 months. Your church
is the place to help with Christ-centered encouragement, contacts
and counsel – especially since 48% of job seekers and 24%
of employers search for one another through churches, according
to the Society of Human Resources Management.
Think about the impact on people in your congregation –
especially those unemployed and under-employed – and the
financial and personal pressure they feel.
You have heard "it is more blessed to give than to receive."
Providing Crossroads Career Christian resources is a great way
to find out how true that is! It is not only an opportunity to
help people with job search and career choices, but also to lead
people into a growing relationships with Jesus Christ.
Fight Unemployment in Your Church
When just one member of your church loses a job, their financial
ability to contribute drops to zero. The financial impact on
them and in your church could be significant.
For example, if you have 250 income-earning members in your church making an average income of about $36,000/year, and unemployment among them averages 6.5%, then $585,000 of personal income and $58,500 of potential giving capacity have been lost. Your church’s help can bring real hope!

in your church.
