Our soccer teams provide a wholesome environment – youth are taught soccer skills, good sportsmanship, and how God’s word applies to their lives

Youth in soccer teams are learning to serve God and their village, as volunteers. This is a departure from their culture – people normally help their extended family.
 Storing corn to use as relief aid Compassion outreach is showing Gods love through prayer and acts of mercy to those who are suffering. This includes: providing food to elderly and handicapped people in the hunger season, praying for the sick and oppressed, and special interventions in the lives of individuals who have experienced a personal catastrophe (including serious birth defects). Intervention is holistic and includes: nutrition, therapy, medical treatment, help with key relationships, spiritual mentoring for the individual and their extended family (and neighbors if possible).
Mentoring groups help mentor small groups of people by joining with them in discussions of Gods word, and how it applies to their lives. Members agree to seek to follow what they are learning together. As they grow spiritually, these groups become God-centered communities. Leadership training This the most important thing we do. We mentor these leaders as their partners in serving God and the community. There are about a dozen local leaders who meet monthly for training; they are the leaders of the faith communities, and the community development work. In order to train locals in better farming methods, we use demonstration fields where we model more productive farming methods. |
