For the last couple of weeks I’ve been trying out the Zaia App. Never heard of the Zaia App? It’s a new Christian social platform. Specifically designed as a space for the faith community.

Here is how the Zaia App describes itself. And their video showing the app.

Zaia (which means light) was created because we simply wanted a place for all God’s kids to get together.

In John 17:23 NLT, Jesus prayed: “May they experience such perfect unity that the world will know that you sent me and that you love them as much as you love me”. This scripture is the driving force behind Zaia and the core of our reason for being.

What started off as Jesus and His 12 friends is now 2.6 Billion Christians strong across 46 Thousand denominations!

We wondered how much good we could do for each other and the world if we had a place to come together in unity, so we created one.

Zaia App Review

Zaia is a free app that is quick to download to your phone. The app is very easy to use, with text only, image, or video post options. Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when taking a picture in the app.

The Zaia App has features not found on any other social media platform. For example, the Bible is available right in the app so it is easily shareable. There are features that other social media apps have that Zaia doesn’t. The most noticeable one is no filters available when taking pictures. However, I count that as a positive!

There are 2 feed options on Zaia that make this app unique. You can post any picture or video on the main Zaia feed. You see one picture or video at a time on this feed. And scroll up for the next one. You can like, comment, and share these posts. When posting to your Zaia feed, there are 3 types of posts. Regular, testimony, and prayer request.

Then there is the Word feed. The Word feed consists of written posts with no pictures. You can like, comment, and share these posts as well. Here’s what my Word feed looks like:

One of the fun things about Zaia is you can build or join a tribe. A group of people with the same interests. You use these private and public groups, Tribes, to connect with others. There is a search feature so you can easily find people to follow, and tribes to join.

I didn’t start a tribe myself, but I joined several.

I have found Zaia to be not only fun, but inspirational. An uplifting and positive place to go in a sometimes hectic day.

Join me on the Zaia app where the goal is unity in faith, diversity, and in personality! See how fun it is to be part of a Christian community for yourself. My user name is lindaslunacy. Go HERE to download Zaia for free!

Giving to missions can a little confusing sometimes. It can be hard to know which organization will be the best at reaching and helping people. One organization that my husband and I like is Advancing Native Missions. Every November they send out their ANM Holiday Catalog. Let me tell you about it!

But first, a little about Advancing Native Missions. For the past 30 years, ANM has been helping individuals and churches get involved in global outreach. They currently serve in over 100 countries. “Native Missions” means that instead of sending American missionaries to other countries, they use Christians from those countries. They already live there, know the language, and the culture. They also already live on a local budget. That means it costs less to support those missionaries, so they are able to send more.

The ANM Holiday Catalog

The ANM Holiday Catalog features more than 20 gifts that you can send to men, women, and children around the world.

Every gift in the ANM Holiday Catalog delivers the love of Jesus in practical ways. You can give a new Christian their very first Bible, provide a child with the first pair of shoes that truly fit, supply livestock and years of reliable food for a family, or purchase a bicycle for a pastor who walks miles daily.

Your prayers and gifts to the poor have come up as a memorial offering before God. – Acts 10:4

As you choose gifts, pray for hearts to be transformed, for new believers, for children, for people reading the Bible for the first time, and for missionaries delivering these gifts and the Gospel message.

The Holiday Catalog is a great way to get kids involved in donating to missions. Let them pick a gift, or two, to send!

This years ANM Holiday Catalog came with a coloring book inside. It’s a has a very sweet story about four young kids who learned about generosity through a workday at their grandparents’ house, where they earned money to buy gifts from the Gift Catalog for people in need. You can download the coloring book, An Unusual Day at Grandma and Granddaddy’s House, HERE.

Advancing Native Missions is an organization that my husband and I believe in. We have donated money to ANM a couple of times in the past. (Not tooting our own horn, just sharing to show that we really believe in this ministry.) If you are looking for a way to make a difference in the lives of others, and let them hear the gospel, I highly suggest Advancing Native Missions. I have talked about ANM before in this POST.

You can view the ANM Holiday Catalog HERE.

This Christmas, give the gift of the Gospel!

I have never really thought of having an account with a Christian bank . Most likely because I have never heard of Christ centered banking before. Now, with AdelFi Banking – the bank with Christian values, I have!

AdelFi Banking – The Bank With Christian Values

Do you know where your bank gives and invests its money? Does it align with your values? By placing your financial resources with AdelFi, you’re uniting your finances with other believers to advance Christian values with empathy and compassion. AdelFi supports thousands of Christian organizations worldwide that spread the Gospel with AdelFi’s commitment to giving back 10% of its profits every year to support Christian.

Whether you’re starting a family, running a business, or serving a non-profit or ministry, AdelFi has products and services that align with your financial goals and Christian values. Partner with like-minded people and still access the technology and services that makes day-to-day finance transactions easy. 

AdelFi Banking

I found this interesting. The name AdelFi comes from the Greek word “adelphos/adelphoi” that is used throughout the New Testament to mean brothers and sisters in Christ. This word is used over 300 times, including Mark 3:35 and Hebrews 2:17. “Adel” is Hebrew for “God is eternal; noble.” And the suffix “-fi” is a nod to financial stewardship—gathering God’s gifts for good.

The Adelfi logo graphic represents individual members, as a group, with Christ as the center, the cross. As part of the group, a single member can have a God honoring impact on others. Pretty cool graphic!

Recycling Christian Dollars – In a recent study by AdelFi, it found that young Christian consumers gave nearly 3x more than non-Christians. However, when supporting business that aligned with what they aligned with their beliefs/causes, they were no different than non-Christians.  And in some instances, non-Christians cared more than Christians about doing business with organizations that aligned with their non-Christian beliefs.  This was mainly due to the fact that there aren’t many Christian businesses marketing its values. 

At AdelFi, we believe that as stewards of God’s money, we support fellow Christian businesses and understand the need to promote the intersection of faith and finances.  Daily purchase interactions should have a form of tithing daily.  Where you bank has a ripple effect on how resources get used or recycled within the Christian community.  Banking with AdelFi means more support to fellow Christian consumers, businesses, churches, non-profits, and causes. In fact, AdelFi is a not-for-profit credit union, where the money doesn’t go to wall street, but to God’s streets – where the Gospel is spread domestically and internationally. 

AdelFi Kingdom Impact

We aim to be good stewards of our members’ and God’s resources by supporting Christian ministries, non-profits and organizations throughout the U.S. and globally. For us, this means working with our partners to support those called to spreading the Gospel through grants, volunteer hours and in-kind donations.

For more than 57 years, we have collaborated with those of shared faith, to create positive change and be the salt and light of the earth. In 2021 alone, we’ve contributed over $1 million in cash and in-kind support, and volunteered 509 staff hours to ministries, missionaries, non-profits, and Christian families committed to serving the Lord, and spreading His word.

On the AdelFi website, you can see up to date numbers for how much they have donated for missionary support, ministry grants, fees waived for missionaries, and how many employee service hours they have accumulated.

Adelfi offers everything that any other bank offers. Checking, savings, credit cards, loans, and certificates. You can access your AdelFi accounts at credit unions and ATM’s across the United States These ATMs are available surcharge free.

You can find all the ATM locations in a search on the website. I live in tiny town in the hills of Kentucky, and there is a credit union, with ATM, about 20 minutes from my house. Search your zip code and see if there are any near you!
