We recognize that some of our donors may have a special burden for certain aspects of our work that extend beyond the support of missionaries. Outreach efforts to which designated support can be given include the following initiatives:

ADOPT-A-SCHOOL PROGRAM We work with community schools in developing countries to help them attain the tools they need to teach. The average classroom in developing countries lack basic essential tools: supplies, equipment and furniture that make for a meaningful educational experience for kids. Access to these resources may not seem difficult to acquire in the US, but the same cannot be said for millions of other children around the world. We facilitate the donation of textbooks, desks, chairs, uniforms, school supplies and other items that these schools need. Provision is also made for teacher salaries, infrastructure improvements including the addition of classrooms, ablution blocks, feeding scheme kitchens and administration blocks to meet the needs of both students and faculty. more . . .  

AGRIBUSINESS PLAN FUND – Economic growth is a great tool in the fight against poverty in developing countries. We invest in farmers and business owners around the world, because we know that having a secure source of income can be truly transformational for families and their communities. Smallholder farmers in developing countries comprise half of the world’s undernourished people and a majority of the people are living in absolute poverty. This program provides farmers the resources they need – training, access to basic financial services and inputs to improve their crop yields. Families who previously did not have enough to eat will have a steady supply of food, and even be able to sell the surpluses to bring in much-needed income. more . . .

CLEAN WATER, SANITATION AND HYGIENE PROJECTS Daily, thousands of mothers in third-world countries are forced to make a choice to watch their children die of dehydration, or give them what water they can from a polluted, dirty, water source, full of parasites and bacteria. The risks of drinking contaminated water are just as great as drinking no water at all. For every five children that die in developing countries, one will die because of water-related diseases. The choice between life-threatening dehydration and life-threatening water-related disease is not a choice that any person should have to make. We finance, support, and participate in the construction of clean water projects to provide children and families in poverty with access to clean water through interventions like: drilled wells; rainwater catchment systems; piping systems to irrigate crops and improve access to clean water. more . . .

FEEDING AND NUTRITION PROGRAM – Through this initiative we focus on feeding children in community schools we work with to promote attendance, improve performance, and nourish growing bodies. Most of the children rely on the school’s provision as their only source of food for the day. Through our feeding and nutrition program, we are helping to fight hunger in a controlled environment. Our goal is to keep our children healthy, especially those who are infected with the HIV/AIDS virus. It is also necessary to keep children fed so they are able to concentrate while at school and gain a better education. Other times we focus on providing assistance and food to orphans that truly need help. That means we seek out those orphan care programs that have exhibited the ability and history to care effectively for the needs of orphans, yet struggle to provide the necessary food. more . . .

MEDICAL MISSIONS OUTREACH – In developing nations, people die every day from fevers, infections and vitamin deficiencies that go untreated because basic medicines or nutritional supplements are not available. For those not able to get medical treatment, illnesses and wounds that are easily managed with proper resources, escalate into life-threatening tragedies. This year alone, there will be over 40 million deaths in developing countries, one-third among children under the age five. Ten million deaths will be due to malaria, acute respiratory infections, diarrheal diseases, and tuberculosis; all conditions that are easily treatable. We provide medical services, medicines, surgical supplies, training and education to community leaders and members in cooperation with local churches to strengthen outreach efforts, open new areas to the gospel, and provide primary care. more . . .

ORPHAN CARE MINISTRY – In the course of reaching the unreached, many of the native missionaries that work with us come across orphaned children who lack proper food, shelter, clothing, and education. Some of the children come from overcrowded state institutions; others from disaster or poverty stricken homes, and some are “street children” who have learned to fend for themselves as they live homeless and dangerous lives in the streets. Each child that the Lord brings to us is blessed with the opportunity to set a new course for their lives. There are so many children in our world who need help. In our sponsored orphanages some need safety and security. Others need food and clothing. Some need a Christian based education. Others need a patient friend to love them through their healing and a new family. They all need the reminders of the redeeming and transforming love of Christ.  more . . .
