I make no requirements of which charity you support - I can't really can I? It's your donation - you decide who to give it to. If you are stuck for one may I suggest some of my personal favourites, none of these charities are connected with or endorse this site.

• FEBA Radio - a Christian radio station that broadcasts from the Seychelles to many countries in 55 languages. Many of the countries it broadcasts to do not allow preaching of any Christian message and/or have few churches. Radio is therefore one of the few ways that Christians can get support.
• The Bible Society - distribute bibles to Christians in places where they are extremely hard to get hold of. Some of the places

• YFC - Youth For Christ have been involved for many years with helping young people find out more about Jesus. Be this with schools work or support and co-ordination with local church youthwork. My wife and I co-lead youthwork at our church and our local YFC branch (Epping Forest) has been a great source of help to many in my area and yet always struggles for funds to even pay their dedicated workers.
• Contact a Family - every day over 75 children are born or diagnosed with a serious disability or rare syndrome and the vast majority of them are cared for at home. Contact a Family is the only UK charity providing support and advice to parents whatever the medical condition of their child. They are also my employers but that doesn't mean I am biased.
