Ministry Projects

Our mission is to be used by God as He answers the cry of the lost and helpless children of the world.
(Psalm 72:12-14)

Sponsor A Child

One ongoing, pressing need we always have is for more individual sponsors. Sponsors touch the child's life through prayer and personal letters. Providing for a child in one of our children's homes enables us to receive another Hindu or Buddhist child to hear the gospel, a child whose circumstances may be quite desperate. Sponsoring through one of our church family programs, means school, food, clothing and medical care for a needy believer's child- often the son or daughter of a pastor or widow. $30/month makes a tremendous difference in the life of a child.

Allow The Women

The Problem: Girls in our developing countries often struggle to deal with their menstrual cycle. Disposable products are rarely available and financially unobtainable. The girl may have no choice but to miss school and everything else in her life for five days a month.
The Solution: We are making reusable menstrual pads to be taken to Nepal and Bangladesh in mid-October, AND a set for every teen girl in our sponsorship program (for all countries).
How can YOU help?
Sew! 
We need 2000 shields 8000 pads and 1000 drawstring bags. Contact us for patterns!
Cut!
Use a pattern to cut the pieces then bring (or send) them to our office for someone else to sew
Donate!
We need donations of fabrics (cotton or cotton blends for the bags and flannel and polyurethane laminate for the pads and shields), girls cotton briefs (sizes 10, 12, 14, 16).

Help a Children's Home

Gifts given directly to a children's home help in the same way as sponsor gifts, often meeting urgent needs of unsponsored children. One-time gifts or regular gifts on any schedule, of any amount, provide stability and blessing for these homes. No letters to write, but donors will receive the same newsletter reports as sponsors.

Medical Clinics

Annual medical clinics need funding for medicines bought in country and donations of children’s vitamins which need to be carried in from  the US. American doctors are also needed to help with this ministry. For more about our Medical Ministry >>

Pastor's Training Conferences

We hold regular training conferences for village pastors who have no opportunity or funds to attend a Bible College.   The Maranatha Church was built for many purposes, but this was the need that drove the project.  Now, groups of 50 or more men can gather for a week long training. They will sleep in the church. Food will be prepared in a small detached kitchen.

Women’s Bible Training

Women’s Bible Training conferences are an important ministry which we hold in different partner churches. These are usually for one day only and focused on spiritual topics specifically for women. Now that the Maranatha Church is available, it will be one location among several for these conferences. Funding is needed for food and materials.

Timothy  Bible  School

Since 2007 Allow The Children has provided Bible training to pastors in Burundi, Africa through facility development, operational funding and supplemental teaching staff for the Timothy Bible School. The classroom is reasonably equipped but improvements are needed in the dorm room and dining room:  paint, lights, weld  beds into bunks, curtains. These improvements will offer a safer, more functional environment and allow the men to study and rest easier. There are very few good Bible study materials available in Kirundi, the main language of Burundi. Allow The Children would like to translate & print some quality materials for use in the Bible school and in the local churches. Such materials will help build a strong foundation in God’s word for the future of the church in Burundi.

Sewing Machines

Provide income for a widow or a means for a woman evangelist to teach a needed skill while sharing the gospel.

$75-100 provides a sewing machine and start up supplies.

Bicycles

Are a critical transportation need for reaching the villages.

$75 provides a bicycle for a pastor or evangelist.

Slum Ministry

This is a new church plant that includes a Bible club for children and a widow’s relief program.

Christmas Project

Funds provide gifts, candy and a special meal for our children’s homes and children in our sponsorship program  

Furniture

Several of our children's homes need another bunk set or other furnishings.

About $250 covers the cost of a hand built wooden bunk ( including 2 mattresses, 2 sets of sheets, pillows and blankets). A clothes closet costs about $150. A dining/homework table costs about $150.

The JESUS Video

Believers and non-believers alike gather enthusiastically to see and hear the story of the life of  Jesus. It is a wonderful way to  begin ministry in a new place. The gospel is clearly given in their own language. Follow up and discipleship of those who come is always carefully done.

Costs include transportation, petrol, tracts and sometimes food for the gathering. Our partners use this tool regularly in their village work, but your gift will get the message to ONE MORE village where they could not go without help with the expenses. $100 is enough sometimes. Other locations and terrain are more difficult and more costly to reach.

Equip a Village Evangelist

$100 covers food and supplies for a team of five Nepali trainer/evangelists, which includes3 days of walking to minister to one village.

$7 covers supplies for one man for one day. $100 helps supply medicines for onevillage.

We are  primarily a child sponsorship ministry, but we also have a list of faithful Nepali pastors and evangelists who need support for their work.  $50 per month meets the needs for one of these families-- and ministry expenses too.

Bibles

Bibles are provided for each child in our sponsorship program. They are also distributed in the villages during evangelistic outreaches and given to believers in our churces who do not have one.

5 Bibles cost $15 and Bible tracts cost $7 for 100.

Children's Chewable Vitamins

Vitamins are always needed for children who suffer some degree of malnutriton. The vitamins are not available in country.

They must be purchased here and carried in. A gift of any amount is a blessing for this project.

Seeds

A sponsor gave some seeds that were a mix of flower and vegetable seeds in small individual packets. The people LOVED them. We found that seeds blessed EVERYONE -- children's homes, churches, individual homes we visit andthe village evangelism projects. Seeds that provide flowers to enjoy or food for our people are a great blessing. We can use as many as we can get.

Micro-business Projects

Goats, or pigs or chickens can be the start of  a projedt that can bring ongoing support to a family in need.

A goat or a pig costs about $50. The same gift can provide a group of chickens or fish for a fish farming project.
