Give Critical Supplies To A Widow In Bangladesh
It's hard for us to comprehend this, but when your husband dies in a Hindu family, you as the wife are often kicked out of the house and put on the streets. Widows have no standing. There are hundreds of widows in Bangladesh who are living on the streets. One of their greatest immediate need is for food, blankets and a mosquito net. These widows are thanking God for the provisions they received from one of our church planters. They are also invited to attend a monthly outreach for widows in which they are given a free meal, meet other widows and learn about Jesus. This is an amazing ministry of love and grace. $30 provides a food sack filled with essential food items (rice, beans, some vegetables, fruits and cooking oil), a blanket, and a mosquito net.
Give Food And Water To Myanmar Refugees
Due to the ongoing civil war in Myanmar, many villages are being burned to the ground and thousands flee to the jungle areas for safety from the Myanmar army.

Living Water Wells
Pastor R made a trip to Sita's village and shared the gospel with Sita, a 51 year old widow. This was the first time she ever heard about the one true God who loves her. She learned that Jesus died on a cross for her sins and that if she would believe in Jesus, she could have her sins forgiven and go to heaven. She immediately felt a great sense of peace and comfort. She prayed with Pastor R, giving her life to Jesus. She has become the first Christian in her entire village.
Sita immediately began to tell everyone in her village about Jesus. She is fearless. The villagers distanced themselves from Sita, they were angry at her for turning to another religion. They believed she would bring a curse on their village. They were ridiculing her and avoiding her. And most difficult of all, they refused to allow her to drink water from the village well, the only source of water for several miles.
Pastor R and Sita received funds to dig a new well and for the installation of the water pump. Pastor R is traveling to this village weekly to oversee the work and to disciple Sita in her new found faith and to plant a house church in her home to reach her village for Christ.
You can provide a living water well for $700.

Support A New Believer's Baptism In India
Thousands are coming to Jesus in India and then wanting to be baptized to testify of their new life in Jesus. The pastors you support in India are averaging 20 different baptismal services per day!

You can provide transportation, a simple meal, a new Bible and a baptismal service a new believer will never forget for $5.00 each new believer.
Give A Pastor & His Wife Their First New Set of Clothes!
Did you know that many of the church planting pastors we support have never had the funds to buy a new pair of pants and shirt, and their wives have never been able to buy a new dress? When they do get clothes they receive them donated or buy them from a second hand store. A $70 gift allows a pastor to buy his first new shirt and pants and it allows his wife to buy a new dress! What a surprise and blessing this will be!
Help Kids in Unreached Areas
These kids live in the mountains of North Vietnam and are very poor. The children of this village are in need of food and clothing and hearing about the love of Jesus. This is the case in all of the countries where church planters minister. Giving to this project supplies church planters with the tools they need to share God’s love and the gospel with children. Any financial support will make a big difference in the lives of children and provides an open door to reach families and plant churches in unreached areas around the world.
