During these final weeks of the year, many of us consider making donations to support the causes we believe in. As you do so, please consider making a financial contribution to the work I undertake with Global Scholars Canada. Your contributions help to support the following:
- I draw a small monthly salary from these funds to supplement my private and public pension income, and together they cover a portion of the time and effort put into the various responsibilities I have assumed, which include research, writing, mentoring, lecturing, and interviews.
- The funds cover equipment, supplies, books, and other incidental expenses incurred in my work. The computer on which I work and the connected printer are two of the major pieces of equipment provided by your generous contributions.
- With the easing of the pandemic, I have resumed some work-related travel, most recently to western Pennsylvania to speak at two educational institutions. Your contributions will help to support this travel, especially where resources in the host country are insufficient to cover the costs.
GSC's page for giving can be found here. Once you are in the page, scroll down to the heading marked DONATION DETAILS, and then choose one of the options under FUND. Americans may donate through our sister organization in the US.
Canadian donors can donate publicly traded securities (shares or mutual funds) directly to charities without having to pay the capital gains tax. This is a cost-effective and painless way to make a donation that comes with a substantial tax incentive. By donating securities, donors pay no tax on capital gains, receive a tax receipt for the fair market value of the securities, as well as reduce their taxes. Watch this video for more information about this option: Link Charity Canada: Donation of Securities. If interested, please visit the Link Charity Canada Inc. website, and call for details at 1-800-387-8146. Link Charity Canada is a partner organization of Global Scholars Canada, so Link Charity can easily direct funds for my work.
We all are still following the tragic events in the Middle East in the aftermath of Hamas' attack on Israel on 7 October. In response, I penned the following statement: Calling terrorism by name. While the ongoing difficulties between Israelis and Palestinians are complicated and challenge the best of minds to alleviate the situation, we need to take care not inadvertently to justify an attack on innocent civilians.At the beginning of this month, I spoke online at the Eighth Latin American INCHE Consultation. INCHE stands for International Network for Christian Higher Education, which began in 1975 in South Africa and now stretches around the globe. My topic was "The Christian university and public policy in North America." I am given to understand that the address, along with the others at this event, will be published in a volume of proceedings.

My forthcoming book, provisionally titled, "Citizenship without Illusions," is still with IVP Academic, and I am still waiting to receive word about possible needed revisions to the manuscript.
I have several upcoming events about which I will write later as they occur.
As always, if you cannot afford to support my work financially, please do continue to pray for my work. I know from experience that God works through our prayers for each other. Thanks once again to those of you who have been faithful in supporting my work both financially and in your prayers.
Yours in God's service,
David Koyzis, Global Scholar
