For 34 years, Michelle has been a faithful member of the Kingston Church of Christ. Her mother, then delving deep into biblical studies, first introduced her to the community. Michelle's dedication has shone through in her diverse roles: from ushering in Children's ministry to leading Bible Talks and supervising the Count Team. Michelle, a woman of unwavering dedication, has spent her life serving others. Her calling initially led her to children's ministry, and later, she found herself contributing to the catering business. Unfortunately, over twelve years ago, hereditary ataxia dealt a cruel blow, severely limiting her mobility and speech. Unable to care for herself anymore, and with her ability to earn income significantly hampered, she even exhausted her savings due to the illness.
Yet, despite these trials, Michelle's spirit remains resolute, her joy undimmed. Her faith and the Church continue to be the steady pillars of her strength. Your help with covering her daily needs, medication, therapy and other essential caregiving support would make a significant difference.

Jaime, is a faithful disciple from the Nicaragua Church, and is a dedicated husband and father of two sons. During a routine medical checkup eight years ago, it was discovered that his liver was not functioning. Since then, he has undergone various laboratory tests and a liver biopsy. In 2020, he was diagnosed with Autoimmune Hepatitis (AIH), which is a chronic immune-inflammatory liver disease.
Despite using azathioprine and steroids to treat his condition, his liver function tests continued to indicate that his condition had worsened. Due to his delicate health condition, this led him to seek medical treatment abroad. This, unfortunately, resulted in the development of liver cirrhosis and portal thrombosis. He has been diagnosed with a rare combination of Primary Sclerosis Cholangitis, Ulcerative Colitis, and Portal Vein Thrombosis. The only viable solution is a liver transplant, for which he receives treatment.
We are reaching out to ETF for financial assistance in covering Jaime's medical bills. The Ortega family is facing difficulties in meeting these expenses. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Hello, I am Noel and I was a lecturer at Sam Sharpe Teachers’ College in Montego Bay, St James in music education, I was invited to church by Henry, who was one of my students, in the year 2001. I started studying the Bible with some disciples from ICOC Jamaica and became a follower of Jesus in 2002. Since then, I have served in the Song Ministry on the church choir for many years, as well as a family group leader in the singles’ ministry, and in the senior citizen’s ministry at present.
Last year in 2022, I was diagnosed with a severe heart condition that causes my heart to beat slowly (36 beats/second). The cardiologist prescribed that a pacemaker is needed to remedy my condition, but if this is not attended to, it can be fatal. The cost to carry out this procedure of inserting the pacemaker, is in the amount of $1.5million Jamaica Dollars, at the University Hospital. I am unable to afford this cost on my own, and therefore I am seeking your kind assistance to this end. Any help that can be given will be greatly appreciated.

First of all we want to express our gratitude for your help and support. In the face of Hurricane Fiona, the brothers of the Church of Christ in Puerto Rico we thank God so much for preserving our lives and homes. God has allowed us to share in his victory because he has allowed us to reflect a sincere brotherhood, united and trusting in him in the face of the adversities that we have experienced as a country.
In these moments, our church is facing the aftermath of hurricane Fiona. One of the challenges that surfaced after the hurricane, is the lack of basic services of electricity, water and communication signals. This in turn triggered the damage of basic equipment, the loss of food, as well as exhaustion . That is why we are requesting funding to assist families in purchasing battery operated equipment such as fans, radios, and generators to allow families to resume vital functions in their homes. We truly believe that this assistance will allow 78 families and individuals to persevere through the loss of power during this hurricane season. We are extremely grateful to God and to you for any help you can give us. May the Lord continue to bless your lives and ministry!
Good evening my name is Mikline. I am married and I became a disciple in Port Au Prince but we decided to move to Les Cayes for more safety. I have been a disciple for 6 years and I love being a part of the worship team and sing and give glory to God.
I have operated a small business selling lots of small items, but it's not easy to keep it alive because I also have to manage my time to care for my 3 children Debora, Job and Shama. Our biggest challenge as a family is to keep food on the table and pay for tuition.
I am always praying for God’s compassion on us. If it is possible for you to help us with $800 that will be a big miracle in our lives. Thanks in advance for helping. God bless!

Hello church family. My name is Gertrude and my husband, Moliere, and I live in Les Cayes, Haiti. We have been disciples for 8 years and we love serving the church and helping with the children’s ministry. We live modestly and work as food vendors. As we age, it has become harder for us to provide for ourselves and our children are unable to help us due to the their own financial hardships. The political turmoil in our country coupled with the natural disasters that have recently occurred make it very difficult to move forward.
We are seeking your help to help us pay for necessities for the month as we work to recover from the difficulties of these past few years.

Good afternoon,
My name is Gina and my husband and I became disciples in Port au Prince over 20 years ago. We have three children Yoni, Christian, and Gayou. Yoni and Christian are disciples, and our daughter Gayou is studying the bible. Currently, we live in Port a Piment in the South and I work as a photographer.
We gladly serve the church during special occasions, such as weddings, baptisms, graduations, and parties. We left Port au Port after an earthquake destroyed our home. We decided to restart our life in the South, but 11 years later a different earthquake destroyed part of our house and boutique.
We thank God because all of our family is alive and well and that’s the most important thing. But we are in need of your help as we once again rebuild our lives after the devastation the hurricane caused.
We trust God and we thank you for helping people in need like us. May God bless you!
