5 Ways Your Giving Is Impacting Lives
Continued Support to Mount Hope’s 331 Missionaries in 122 Counties.
We check in with our team regularly to ensure they are healthy as their teams provide front line care in their countries. They are helping with food distribution, mental health help, medical care, and guidance to 1000s of local pastors. In Cambodia alone, we have positively influenced 35,000 pastors and in India, entire villages are being care for.
Convoy of Hope.
30,000 pounds of that was distributed in Lansing two weeks ago. We partnered with Cristo Rey, City Rescue Mission, the Holt Food bank, and the Greater Lansing Food Bank.
Cyclone Harold in Vanuatu.
In Vanuatu, cyclone Harold has done much damage. We support four long-term missionaries on various islands and because of you, we have made measures to increase the support and help with humanity aid as they work to rebuild.
Hope for MDHHS & FEMA
During this COVID-19 season, God opened a door for us to begin to be a witness of Jesus’s Hope to the Michigan Health Department and FEMA officials. Your support allows us to keep our volunteers supplied with protective gear as we organize homeless shelters for sick patients, as well as drive patients to and from the hospital. Also, we are preparing to drop 20 “hope” hand washing stations off around the city complete with information about who Jesus is. What a great opportunity to share the Gospel!
MSU International Students.
Your giving allows us to minister in practical and spiritual ways to international students from MSU. We have provided groceries and prayers for students that have very little support system and are currently cut off from family. Many of these students come from countries hostile to Christians yet they are extremely open to our message of HOPE in Jesus.
5 Upcoming Project to Give Toward
India.
A village in India has reported to our missionaries that they are without food. Upon investigation, the missionaries reported that some have not eaten for 18 days. They were able to help a little, but informed us that a partnership with the government can be made and with simply $5,000. They then can purchase enough food to feed the whole village for 2 months. Enough time for supplies to begin to make their way back into this area of India. This project is $5,000 in total.
Bhutan.
Missionaries currently based in Thailand are still making plans to begin a church planting/pastor training movement in unreached Bhutan. This project is $30,000 in total.
Baghdad.
Mount Hope supported missionaries in Iraq are preparing to open a cafe in the heart of Iraq. This cafe will be more attractive then ever as people are coming out of quarantine and looking for community. In a sea of Islam, war, and hopelessness, this cafe will be a place of hope and a beacon that points to Jesus. Project is $50,000 in total.
Downtown Campus.
Due to stay at home orders and the season we are in, volunteer involvement in our downtown campus build has slowed. Still, more than ever, we see a great need for an embedded community church in the heart of Lansing. Our projected launch date is late summer, and already, a core group of 40 people are meeting online weekly. Miracles and testimonies of life change abound! Total project is $250,000.
Blessing Other Churches and Ministries.
During this season, many churches and ministries are hurting. Mount Hope has ALWAYS found that we give our way forward. we want to bless area churches and ministries that are making disciples of Jesus with an unexpected financial gift during this season. Total project is $100,000 (3 local churches at $20k, 4 local ministries at $10k)
