We’re writing to you today with both urgency and hope.

As 2025 comes to a close, we’re facing a year-end budget deficit of $122,000 that could impact our ability to continue training village pastors and serving communities across Kenya, South Africa, and South America in 2026.

But here’s the hope: faithful supporters have already contributed $198,000 toward our $320,000 annual budget. We’re 62% of the way there!

We need to raise the remaining $122,000 by December 31st to ensure we can continue this vital work without interruption.

Why is this so urgent?

Right now, pastors are waiting for the training they desperately need. Many lead congregations without any formal biblical education, struggling to effectively shepherd their flocks. Children depend on us for their education and daily meals.

This year alone, your support has created transformative impact:

• 18,222 meals served to hungry children

• 320 village pastors from 50 churches received sound biblical training

• Over 6,000 believers impacted through their equipped leaders

• 6,400 meals provided to village pastors and church leaders

• 21 students graduated from our programs

Every dollar you give directly supports pastors who earn less than $5 per week but shepherd entire communities. Your gift provides training, meals during intensives, and stipends to cover lost wages while they study.

Will you help us finish 2025 strong?

Here’s how your gift makes a difference:

• $20 provides one year’s supply of mosquito nets for one child

• $50 sponsors one month of pastoral training

• $250 provides training materials for five pastors

• $500 covers meals for pastors during a week-long intensive

• $1,000 fully equips two pastors for a year of ministry

Every gift matters. Whether you can give $25, $100, $500, or more—your contribution will help us close this gap and continue transforming lives in 2025.

Your donation is tax-deductible when made before December 31st at midnight.

Thank you for being part of our community of supporters. Together, we’re equipping leaders and transforming communities for Christ.

With grateful hearts,

Dr. Daniel & Mary Beth Gilbert
