Bibles for New Christians
Suggested gift of $20
A Bible in one’s own language may be one of the most precious gifts a new Christian ever receives. The Bible is the foundation for growth in the faith for every Christian and a powerful tool in leading people to Christ, but in many places in the world, Bibles are not available or are too expensive for individuals to obtain.
Your gift of $20 will help provide God’s sacred word to new believers in many countries, including some who have come to Christ while living in diaspora.
TUMAINI CHILDREN’S MINISTRY
Suggested gift of $100
The Outreach Foundation is privileged to work with the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) which oversees the Tumaini Children’s Ministry for vulnerable children. The parish also cares for individuals at Huruma, a nearby facility that houses a number of disabled individuals. A vocational training program, including computer and sewing classes, serves post-secondary students and people from the community.
Your gift of $100 will help provide funds for operations at Tumaini and Huruma, including food, housing, clothes, and education.
Together for the family baby ministry
Suggested gift of $250
Poor living conditions and the economic crisis in Lebanon have left refugees with newborn babies unable to obtain basic necessities.
Through our partner in Lebanon, Together for the Family, your gift of $250 will help provide formula, medicine, and diapers to a newborn baby for six months.
