Friends Women have chosen their 2026 year long project to contribute to a two‑year project to help fund the surgical training of Dr. Nahimana. He will complete his MD at Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre this fall and has committed to return to serve at Kibimba Hospital.

He is expected to enter the three‑year surgical program at the Fellowship of the College of Surgeons of East, Central, and Southern Africa, located on the same campus. Friends of Kibimba Hospital has approved $8,000 per year and has secured funding for his first year; we would be grateful for any amount you can contribute toward his remaining two years of training.

Camp Quaker Haven has been a sanctuary where many have found what they were searching for, a community and a connection with God through Jesus Christ. It has been the vision of CQH to be a ministry to serve year-round and have little limitation on the amount of people who can be served.

This is the reason to raise funds to build a Retreat Center that will offer more groups to come and do so throughout the year. The building will have a full kitchen, meeting rooms, and lodging upstairs. It could host an entire retreat/reunion within one building. There is also a need for a climate controlled multi-purpose space to allow more "whole camp activities" regardless of weather or group size.

We have a family that is growing and needs a larger, more reliable vehicle for their work in northern Asia. They plan to sell their current car and use the funds, along with support raised by Friends Women, to purchase and equip a locally‑made vehicle to meet their needs.

God has been bringing significant transformation in the lives of many who have been discipled through D4D. In this season, Brad and Chelsea have the opportunity to mentor several key young church leaders, helping prepare them for the roles God may be calling them to within EFC‑Rwanda and beyond. Friends Women are partnering with them this month to support and strengthen this important ministry.

The plan is to build a Maternity Waiting Home beneath an existing Health Center. This space will offer expectant mothers from remote, hard‑to‑reach areas a safe and comfortable place to stay during the final weeks of pregnancy. Friends Women are raising funds this month to help make this vital project possible.

This month’s project supports two needs in Bangladesh.

1. Youth Seminars

EFC‑Bangladesh continues to host growing regional youth seminars, where many teens gather to celebrate their faith and receive training to reach unreached peoples in Bangladesh. The request is to provide a T‑shirt for each participant as a meaningful encouragement and a reminder of their experience.

2. Khulna Training Center Furnishings

To maintain government registration, EFC‑Bangladesh must offer long‑term, practical services that meet community needs. Their training center in Khulna has faithfully provided computer and English classes, along with other helpful programs. The office and classrooms now need updated furnishings to continue serving effectively.

Established in 2022 and inspired by NWYM Friends Women, this special fund is dedicated to caring for the well‑being of EFM missionaries. The fund helps provide support such as counseling, medical care, and sabbaticals—practical resources that allow missionaries to rest, heal, and continue serving in healthy ways.

Whenever these funds are used, EFM will gladly share with donors how their gifts have directly blessed and strengthened missionaries in need.

This month’s project supports a ministry that offers tailoring training to women in their community. Many of these women have limited opportunities to earn income, and this practical skill provides them with a sustainable way to support their families.

As relationships grow through the training program, the hope of the gospel is shared in meaningful and respectful ways. Friends Women are raising $1,000 to help continue and strengthen this life‑changing ministry.
