Uganda

A Bible-training campus rising in Katerera, houses built for families who had nowhere sound to live, and the church life around them.

Ekklesia Bible Ministry, Katerera

A training campus on Lake Bugwagi for pastors and missionaries. Classrooms, dormitories, a library, and a dining hall are being finished so groups of twenty to forty students can study for two or three weeks at a time. The work is underway — walls are up, teams are on site.

Houses for families

Alongside the campus, two houses were built for families who had been living in failing rooms, and furniture was put inside them. The photographs are of the households we served. We do not publish the children’s names.

A baptism day at Katerera: the service, certificates handed to those baptised, and a meal cooked and served to everyone who came.

Malawi

El Shaddai Orphanage & Ministries — care, food, and work on the land.

El Shaddai Orphanage & Ministries

We stand with El Shaddai as they feed and shelter children, gather people for the Word, and work the fields and rice paddies that keep the home going.

Pakistan

Help for families who left Islam for Christ and have lived under brick-kiln bondage.

Families we stand with

Seven families so far. Among them: a father raising two daughters after his wife died, beaten for leaving Islam; a 56-year-old widower whose wife died making bricks, with sons born into the same labor; and the Usman family. Food, tools, and transport were delivered so a household can earn outside the kiln. We tell the work, not the children’s names.

Romania

The Surani campus, meals for people without a home, children taught and fed, and visits inside a women’s prison.

Surani campus

A long-standing base in Prahova. From here the Foundation has hosted families, taught, and cooked — including Ukrainian households who arrived with nothing.

Feeding homeless families

Regular food distributions for homeless and poor families: bags packed and carried out by van, delivered street by street, with the children taught alongside the meal.

Casa Pâinii

Children at the table. Meals cooked and served in the dining hall, plate after plate, by the same kitchen that feeds the distributions.

Village children — educating and feeding

Work with children from poor village families: food and supplies carried to the houses, lessons and meals in the hall, singing practice, and time outdoors together.

Children’s camp

Camp weeks for the children of the Foundation: sessions in the hall, reading together, and music practice.

Women’s prison ministry

A visiting team at the Târgșorul Nou women’s penitentiary in Ploiești — Word, song, and presence inside the gate.

A house after a fire

After a single mother’s house burned in May 2022, gifts went to putting a roof back over her and her son. The photographs are of the fire and what it left.

Emanuel Pentecostal Church, Ploiești

A church building going up in Ploiești, Prahova, which the Foundation has given toward. The photographs show the facade going on, and the concrete frame and scaffolding it rose from.

Ukraine

Shelter and meals for families who fled the war, and ovens so they can bake again.

Refugees at Surani

More than sixty people have been welcomed at the campus in Surani, Prahova. The place can hold about a hundred. They eat together. They worship. They lost homes and small businesses — the last photographs are of what they left behind.

Outdoor ovens

Romanian-made ovens, about $425 each, delivered so a family can bake bread without depending on a kitchen they no longer have. The aim is one hundred ovens.

Bolivia

Ministerios Nacer in Santa Cruz — three homes, the harvest carried out to neighbours, training for the people who do the caring, and children arriving.

Ministerios Nacer

Twenty-nine years forming lives in Santa Cruz. The ministry runs three homes, Hogar Cristo Viene among them, where children live, eat, and are taught. Residents gave their lives to Christ this year under the teaching of brother Miguel, and the homes stay open to visitors — a team travelled from the United States and stayed more than a week, and two churches left thirty-eight mattresses behind them.

The 2026 harvest

The fruit was picked by hand and carried, basket by basket, to the doors of neighbouring homes. The boys of the ministry did the hauling under the sun. Nothing was sold: the harvest went out so that other families would eat.

Training for staff and older girls

The staff of the girls’ home were taught strategies for working with children who have learning difficulties. The older girls took the Social Skills and Employability Workshop run by FUNDESOC — how to speak up, work with others, and get ready for a first job.

New children at Hogar Cristo Viene

Six children and babies arrived, then three girls, then nine more — cousins and siblings the Defensoría placed together because the ministry would not split them up. One needs surgery on an arm, one came in with anemia, and the baby with skin problems; all three are under treatment. Diapers, milk, and medicine are the standing need. Gravel has been laid on the entrance road so the rainy season no longer cuts the children off, and a dental chair is being bought so the three homes can treat teeth on site. We do not publish the children’s names.

Nicaragua

Verbo Church in Puerto Cabezas — girls taken off the street and given a direction, among the indigenous Miskito of the north.

Verbo Girls Ministry

We work alongside Randall Gordon Mitchell, the ministerial leader of Verbo Church in Puerto Cabezas. Since April 2022 the ministry has taken girls off the street and given them a direction: teaching them who they are in Christ, raising the older ones to lead the girls who come after them, and turning them away from the early pregnancies that are common for girls there. The work is in the north of Nicaragua, among the indigenous Miskito people.

Venezuela

Families supported month by month, elderly people looked after, and surgery paid for where it could not be afforded.

Families, elders, and medical care

We support several families financially and medically, assist several elderly people, and have helped a few women get surgery for breast cancer. Two of the people we have stood with:
