My name is Wilmene. I have been a disciple in Port au Prince for the last 20 years. I have been married for 17 years to my wonderful husband who has been a disciple for 23 years. At church we serve alongside the elders and we help with the marrieds ministry. We make a living from the sales of our small business. I am grateful to God for that, but living in Port au Prince is a big challenge.

We are doing our best, but we are often short on our bills and we would love to pay for our children's education. We are asking for your help to help us as we work through our difficult time.

May God bless you for helping people in need.

My name is Sylvie Paco. I am a mother of 3 children, and a disciple of Jesus Christ in the International Church of Christ of Kinshasa.

My husband, who is a disciple of Jesus Christ, worked in a restaurant in town. His work would allow us to buy groceries, pay the rent and school fees for the children. Due to the Covid19 Pandemic, the company has decided to reduce the workforce. My husband lost his job. We are currently in financial difficulty paying for our children's schooling. I call on you my brothers and sisters to support us during this difficult period that we are going through.

We are requesting $1000, to help with us during this time. God bless you.

Hello, my name is Joseph Madiangu, student at the Protestant University in Congo, Disciple of Jesus Christ at the International Church of Christ in Kinshasa, I was invited by my parents.

After the death of my father, my mother had started a commercial activity to feed us and pay our school fees. Due to the difficulties of life my mother fell ill for a long time and died in April 2021. Following the death of my mother, I found myself in a difficult situation to pay school fees. This is why I call on you my brothers and sisters to support me during this time.

I am requesting $700 to help with tuition. God bless you. 

My name is Takoma Mambucha from Blantyre, Malawi. My wife is Angela. We're both baptized disciples. I was baptized in January 23, 1999. We have 3 children - a boy and 2 girls. The 1st born is Maggie she's 13 years and in her first year in high school. Second born is Marcus, he in the 4th grade. And our youngest is Malaika, she is in the 1st grade.

I assist a colleague in a private Primary School. The problem is we don't have enough students enrolled to take care of our salaries through out each term, a term is made up of 3 months, as a result we have low salaries. At the end of each term we struggle in getting our salaries, because by that time most parents have not finished paying fees. I get almost 80 dollars as a salary per month, because of this I can't afford to pay for Maggie's school fees at the same time take care of my family. But also currently because of this covid pandemic government has been ordering closure of schools to protect the students and the teachers. At times for over 7 months, now that means 7 months without any salaries because we depend on the fees parents pay. That in itself has created more financial problems for my family.

Still need amount asking for $1000.

Thank You for your love and Support.

Wilfred Ngumbau who became a Disciple in 2004 and his wife Antoinette in 2008 they have three Children namely Jessica who is 19years, Hadassah 6years and Daniel who is turning 4 year by January 2022. Both have been faithful disciples at Nairobi Christian Church Kenya. 

Wilfred Ngumbau is a hardworking man, he has served as an office messenger for some time now, his wife Antoinette lost her job before the Covid 19 came up. Wilfred got a pay-cut due to the effects of the pandemic. 

Their daughter who is a disciple for the last 4 years now got admission letter to join University but due to the lack of finances she is still at home for a year now waiting on God on this matter. Their daughter Hadassah who turned 6yrs and in PP2 stayed at home the entire last term for lack of school fees the same with their son Daniel who will be turning 4 years and in Play-ground class.

This family of 5 is really facing a financial challenge and they are requesting for financial assistance for food and for their Children to get back to school.

If they can get $1000 USD it will assist them to buy food and take their Children to School.

Mary is a disciple in the Migori bible talk in the the Kisumu church. She was met by a former church member in the year 2012 who introduced her to Betty Nthei. She studied the bible and got baptized the same year. Mary grew in her faith steadily because of her great learner’s heart. She impacted and challenged many for Christ. She's a widow and mother of two girls; Stacey 23 and Britney 21. They both studied the bible and Britney got baptized a year ago. She’s such a jovial, giving and resilient soul, as even in sickness she still affords a smile. 

Mary battled a condition that led to her being bedridden. Miraculously, God raised her from it after a while but still on medication. The medical bills are huge coupled with her daughter’s college fees in a medical school which is very expensive for her. She has an income that can't sustain her current demands. Recently she suffered depression that led to stroke which has weakened her body even more. Mary needs financial support to see her daughter through college and cater for her medical needs.

We request for support USD 700. Thanks and God bless.

Hello family,

My name is Aracely and I have been a disciple for 12 years. I have two sons. Anderson (age 7) and Whilber (age 9). As a family, we have gone through many difficult situations due to the few employment opportunities available in our country.

We live in a marginalized area in our country, and we are requesting special support for our children’s education. Specifically, due to the pandemic, my boys will continue to have online classes this year. We have tried to use cell phones to complete their online courses, but it is nearly impossible for them. We are in great need of two personal computers to allow my sons to complete their studies remotely, but we lack the resources to buy them.

The price of a laptop in Guatemala is approximately $500. We are asking for $1,000 to pay for the computers the boys need. Your love and financial support will provide so much hope for my children and encourage them to work hard to improve their future.

Jared is a 20-year-old college student who has been a courageous disciple for the past two years. Tragically, he was kicked out of his home by his mother because she decided to move in with her boyfriend. He has very limited resources and has stopped studying in order to look for work to survive. He is in great need of support for basic needs and educational costs. Your love and support for our young brother, who is going through a difficult time, would be of great encouragement!
