We hope many more of you will place your daily change in a jug, box, or drawer and send it every summer to support our growing church in other countries through the IMC.

South Nyanza Orphan Project
In Western Kenya, Africa, 1 in 5 people are infected with AIDS. The Church of God (Seventh Day) Women's Ministry within Kenya continues to reach out and impact the lives of over 100 neighborhood orphans whose parents have died from HIV/AIDS, malaria, tuberculosis, and other illnesses. Thanks to the Women’s Ministries, these children have been introduced to Jesus Christ and are now active in the church!
For the past 6 months through Missions Abroad, the South Nyanza Orphan Project has sought sponsorships to help the orphaned children. For $26 a month you can sponsor a child and give them a future. The money collected is used to help pay for their food, clothing, and school fees. If you are interested in learning more, please contact Brian Baker at 970-663-9106 or brianatbakersacres@juno.com.
