End of Year Giving Projects
As we approach the end of 2023, you may wish to give something over and above your regular tithe and mission giving. Church of the Savior leaders have chosen two End-of-Year Giving Projects to present to the COS Family. To give to either of these projects, please make the appropriate indication on the memo line of your check or the outside of a giving envelope.
Travel in rural areas of Africa is difficult. Roads are few, and trails are rough. African leaders serving in One Mission Society’s Village Church Planting (VCP) ministry spend a lot of time and precious funds to get from their homes to training centers and churches. The result is less time and fewer resources for training, coaching and encouraging church planters.
Village Church Planting Coordinators are skilled ministers of the Gospel. They have a passion to make disciples of Jesus and plant churches. Coordinators typically oversee and visit as many as 10 training centers and 150 church planters monthly. Motorcycles would make a difference for the 70 VCP Coordinators serving in 31 African countries.
For about $1,700, OMS can purchase a motorcycle to help a VCP Coordinator be more efficient and will help conserve their physical health and energy.
Our goal for this project is $34,000
Which will fund 20 MOTORCYCLES.
The Joshua Fund was founded by Joel and Lynn Rosenberg in the summer of 2006. The desire of their heart was to mobilize Christians to “bless Israel and her neighbors in the name of Jesus,” according to Genesis 12:1-3.
Since the start of the Hamas War on Israel, the Joshua Fund Team has been on the ground in Israel, continuing to bring food and resources to the needy. They are in a unique position right now. Many international Christian organizations serving in Israel are staffed by foreigners with visas. The Joshua Fund has Israelis who know the language, the culture, and the needs. They are assessing and meeting those needs – even with the current risks.
This End-of-Year Project will raise money for their Rapid Response Fund, which will help them meeting those needs and provide critical aid in the form of housing, food, and hygiene products to families displaced by the terror attacks. The funds will also help their ministry partners supply toys for children forced to relocate and counseling for children and families experiencing trauma and anxiety.
Our goal FOR THIS PROJECT is $25,000.
