Orphans & Widows Pakistan | MARCH Support Distribution

We are meeting the needs of eleven widow-led households in Punjab, Pakistan this month, that includes forty children in all. Along with our partner Bethel Church of Pakistan, we are able to assist these families in overcoming the challenges regarding food, housing, and education for the children.

As part of our Orphans & Widows partnership in Pakistan, these families receive aid needed to stay together in one household, rather than the children being separated from their mother.

Back to Africa

Back to Africa in 2023.

We will be visiting three ministry partners at multiple mission projects in Nairobi, and be co-hosting five one-day Great Commandment Workshops throughout Kenya.

We enjoyed successful launches of our Church Mobilization Initiative in both Kenya and Zambia last year, and one objective for our deployment next month is a follow-up to this launch. Kenya hosts the single largest number of GO! Ambassadors with 443. Western Kenya will be our focus as we introduce the Great Commandment to three new communities.

March Need

We are blessed to work with so many around the world to impact the lives of 1,000’s of orphan children.

Our dramatic growth over the last five years has provided resource challenges for our seventeen mission projects around the world. We are in a situation that if not for substantial new funding, we will have to reduce or terminate the care for up to 2,300 children next month. We would appreciate your prayerful consideration to stand-in-the-gap for these precious children.

Reach 10/40 Mission

God is moving in Asia.

We were overwhelmed with the willingness of the people to serve, or love, their neighbors. In a land of contrast with millions of people of different faiths live side-by-side, many continue to be in search of the truth. The Church is now mobilizing to demonstrate the love of Jesus by serving others.

Return to Asia

Our return to Asia is four years in the making.

We have had several false starts since 2018, but next month we return to Asia with the launch of our Church Mobilization Initiative. This is a very exciting, while challenging time in our ministry as we engage the local church to care for orphan children in their communities. It is awesome to see what God is ready doing with this effort in Kenya and Zambia.

The history of our experience with the Great Commandment goes back many years in our ministry. In fact, you might say that we have been a Great Commandment ministry from our beginnings as we have setout to serve orphan children.

In consideration of the Great Commandment, I would implore you to listen to God as to how He might have you respond to love your neighbor.

Learn, Seek, Help, Defend, & Fight (Isa 1:17)
