… a global ministry giving hope to hurting people
“The government hospitals are all out of medicine, so people have been coming to us for help.”
“In these days we are getting many suicide poison cases. Most of them are poor farmers taking such extreme steps due to crop failure and debts.”
“Retired pastors and widows of deceased pastors in this general conference live on approximately a dollar a day.” (The international poverty line is $1.25 per day.)
“I would see them at the railroad station, begging for their living. Bodies ravished by the effects of Hansen’s Disease (formerly known as leprosy), they sat on their mats and held out their cups, hoping to be noticed and pitied by the masses around them.”
Each of these statements came from one of our Free Methodist missionaries. Many of our missionaries and national leaders are confronted with great need every day. And then drought, political strife, war, economic upheaval, natural disaster or disease rise up and the need reaches an even deeper level of desperation.
How do our missionaries and national leaders respond? Can they ignore the cries for help when the heart of Jesus in them weeps for His suffering ones? Do they send a plea for funds, knowing that several days or weeks will pass before the funds can be collected and then disbursed?
You can help provide a way for our missionaries and national leaders to respond quickly and effectively. We would like to raise $50,000 for the Operation Hope Fund. These funds would be available for specific project requests intended to minister to the poor.
Thank you for any size contribution you can send. Our missionary team and international partners will make sure your contribution is used in a way that will help others respond to Christ’s call. Many will come to Jesus because we generously and prayerfully share with the world’s most needy.
