Many people in Myanmar, even in churches, do not have their own Bible. More than that, many of these people are illiterate or visually impaired, so even if they were given a Bible, they would not be able to read it. However, today we are helping to equip evangelists and pastors in Myanmar with MP3 solar-powered audio Bibles in the language and dialects of the people. For the first time in their lives, believers in Myanmar are able to hear and study the Scriptures for themselves.

Do you know what they call “soccer” in most of the world? Football!
And kids in Mexico love it!
We know some churches in a place called Guadalajara that are organizing football games for local kids, so they can not only have fun and play together but also experience the love of Jesus.
“When kids join a team and put on a uniform, they feel like they belong,” said Jorge Guzman, one of the coaches of this new football ministry. “We want them to feel loved and valued when they come to play soccer with us.”
There are more unreached people groups in North India than anywhere else in the world. Indian church planters and international workers are working together to plant churches. Motorcycles and scooters are a key means of transportation for church planters who travel to remote locations to share the Gospel. These vehicles allow people in difficult-to-reach villages to hear about Jesus for the first time.
For many kids, school can be hard. But for some kids, it’s really hard, especially if you’re sick a lot, or if you don’t have parents to help you, or if no one ever taught you how to read!
Many of the children at the Abundant Life Home (ALH) in Chonburi, Thailand, have struggled with school in the past. But today, they’re excited about learning because they’re finally getting the support they need.
Through giving to this project, you could be a part of helping a high school student from ALH get extra support from a tutor. Your donation will pay for two weeks of tutoring in math and science, so they can do better at school and be better prepared for life after school!

“So many young people are coming to faith in Jesus here in Palawan,” said Pastor Sam Arcano. “In just over one month, we baptized fourteen!”
In Brooke’s Point, Palawan Province, there is a new generation being discipled by this national partner and his team. These young adults have a passion for evangelism as well as for worship, and Sam wants to fuel those passions.
With over twenty young adults wanting to learn to play musical instruments for praise and worship such as guitar, drums and bass, there are not nearly enough instruments at the church. With your help to buy instruments, this vibrant campus ministry will continue to flourish.

The Aquila and Priscila Bible program offers theological training online to the local churches of Mexico. Each year, church leaders receive online training in Biblical foundations, preparing them for future ministry as lay leaders, evangelists, church planters, and pastors. The program originates from the MB Seminary in Paraguay, and has gained momentum in Mexico, including in churches from other denominations.

In places like Malawi and Myanmar, the Church is growing fast but leaders are in desperate need of training. That is precisely why Missional Leadership Training (MLT) has been developed: to prepare healthy leaders for the ongoing growth of the Church. As an initiative of the International Community of Mennonite Brethren (ICOMB), MLT is a non-formal, eighteen module Biblical training program that seeks to transform leaders to serve and equip the Church to live on mission. This training allows the global MB family to be strengthened as they serve twenty-two member conferences and several emerging church networks.
MLT has already been taught in four countries and is currently being translated into eight new languages including Swahili, Chewa, Spanish, Thai, Burmese, Portuguese, Arabic, and Hindi. Your gift will fund the translation of one module of curriculum, and cover travel and on-site expenses for trainers.
Do you like to read books and learn new things?
Every year at the Matthew Training Center (MTC) in Guadalajara, fifteen young people get together to learn more about following Jesus and living for him. As they study and serve together, they read at least two books every month.
Do you know what language they read in Mexico? That’s right, Spanish.
So, the MTC is hoping to keep their Spanish library stocked with new books. Their goal is to add at least twelve good books every year. Your gift will make that possible, one book at a time. Do you want to help?
Children affected by HIV/AIDS are being cared for in a loving family environment at the Abundant Life Home (ALH) in Chonburi, Thailand. Many of them have a life-changing encounter with Jesus while living at ALH. As these children grow up and enter young adulthood, some of them have a strong desire to attend Bible school and train for future ministry. Your gift will provide one semester for them to be immersed in the Scriptures, in regular worship, and in a vibrant Christian community that will prepare them for a lifetime of devotion and service.

First Nations believers often find themselves in a complicated situation due to the past abuse of their Indigenous brothers and sisters at the hands of the Church. This has become even more difficult in Canada since the recent discoveries of unmarked graves on the grounds of Residential Schools. Many First Nations church leaders serve in remote communities and feel isolated and discouraged. There is a great need to bring these leaders together so they can grow relationships, celebrate, and pray together. Your gift to this project will help sponsor a weekend gathering of up to 200 key First Nations leaders, as well as their spouses and children. Hosted on a First Nations facility on Vancouver Island, this event will also serve to further build bridges with the local Indigenous communities across the country.
What sound does a goat make? Is it called bleating or baaing?
Female goats in West Africa are very valuable. They not only provide families with milk to drink, but the leftover milk can be sold to buy other food.
A pastor in West Africa had a great idea: why not give female goats to single mothers, so they can provide food for their children. And when those goats have babies, the first female baby goat is donated to another woman to expand the club. Then future baby goats can be sold as income for the family!
This is a great way for a family in need to strengthen their communities. As people are being empowered to support their families, they are also receiving God’s love through God’s people.
God is rebuilding lives and repairing broken families in Thailand. Donations for this project provide Bibles for young women incarcerated at the Juvenile Detention Center in Chiang Mai.
“We have seen so many women come to faith in Jesus and be transformed while in the detention center,” said Carmen Owen, one of the team members who coordinates Bible studies for the young women and facilitates care for their children. “This project helps provide vulnerable children with both educational support as well as discipleship, as they and their mothers experience the love of Jesus and are welcomed into the family of God.”
Multiply partners with King’s Kid Ministries in Uganda, focusing on the well-being and flourishing of the entire family. In a region where cultural conventions can be oppressive for women, there are many broken marriages, absentee fathers, and impoverished single mothers. King’s Kid provides teaching on Biblical equality and mutual submission within marriage, while meeting the urgent and practical needs of single mothers who are trying to provide for their children.
Through this project, women are being trained to generate income through community-based, grassroots small business initiatives in agricultural and textiles. Whether through raising chickens, growing corn, making coal, or providing services in sewing and tailoring, single mothers are growing in confidence and in turn helping others in their own communities.
God is rebuilding lives and repairing broken families in Thailand. Donations to this project provide scholarships and basic school supplies for the children of young women incarcerated at the Juvenile Detention Center in Chiang Mai. These single mothers have come out of abusive situations of human trafficking and drug trade, and long for their children to have the kind of educational opportunities that can break the cycle of poverty and oppression.
“We have seen so many women come to faith in Jesus and be transformed while in the detention center,” said Carmen Owen, one of the team members who coordinates Bible studies for the young women and facilitates care for their children. “This project helps provide vulnerable children with both educational support as well as discipleship, as they and their mothers experience the love of Jesus and are welcomed into the family of God.”
