Doors and Windows for Kibimba Hospital
$2,000
The Kibimba Hospital is in need of doors and windows and we are eager to help them improve this hospital!
This is what they are needing: 165 inside doors at $12 each, 11 metal doors at $175 each, and 20 metal windows at $200 each.
Rickshaw - Sarkar in India: $1800
Because of the persecution of sharing faith in India, two of our pastors would benefit in having a rickshaw business to help in how they evangelize in these sensitive areas. They are asking for 2 Rickshaws at $900 each.
Worship Instrument Training: $1400
This project will provide special training to young people who wish to be in new worship bands in Mexico. This would help 4 students ($350 each) to receive the training.
Burundi VBS
$2,500
EFC-MAYM has a long history of sowing God’s Word in Burundi and through Friends Women we continue to support their VBS efforts.
The cost of printing is very expensive. Our offering helps to offset their costs for VBS, where they reach thousands of children through the two yearly meetings at Kibimba and Kwibuka.
Christmas Gifts for those with HIV in India
$3,200
Their staff regularly visit men and women who are HIV positive to counsel and encourage them. We accompany them to the hospital when they are too sick to make it on their own and pray with them when they are losing hope. During Christmas time we prepare a special meal and celebrate with songs, games and share about Jesus. We also give them gifts such as soup packets, towels, toothpaste, toothbrushes and soap. It’s a very special time each year.
Jesus Film Project - Nepal
$3,500
This project would purchase projector equipment to help their CHE (Community Health Evangelism) trainers and CHE volunteers in their outreach work.
EFC-Rwanda Leadership Retreat
$3,000
It is known that our EFC-Rwanda leaders are facing great difficulties in this mission field. The 3 day retreat would provide time for rest, prayer and spiritual renewal. The cost of the retreat is $1,000 per day.
EFC-Africa Missions Training for Key Leaders
$6,000
This would be a time for key leaders from EFC-Africa to meet together for some Bible teaching towards missionary-sending, planning, as well as a time to dream and pray together as groups of Evangelical Friends in Central Africa. Cost is $1400 per day for 4 days.
Saris for Christmas in India
$2,000
These Saris (averaging $20 each) have for many years been given to women in their churches and who they work with in other projects that cannot afford a Sari. To avoid dissapointing many, these Saris are bought in bulk every year and given to the ladies at Christmas time.
We are asking every FWF to collect foil stars for the next year. Our missionaries in Africa use these for the children at our Vacation Bible Schools. The kids get such a big smile on their faces when they receive a star! (Foil stars are available in the school supply sections of most stores, including Wal-Mart, Walgreens, Family Dollar and Dollar General.) We can never have too many stars!
If you have stars, don’t hold on to them! You can mail them directly any time to Burundi to this address:
Stars, c/o EEA, BP 1198, Bujumbura, Burundi, Africa
Most new mothers in Africa leave the hospital with virtually nothing they can use to care for their babies. We are asking FWF’s to work all year on creating layette sets in a bag! Be as creative as you want, but try to make sure each one-gallon Ziploc bag contains the following items for a mother's take-home starter kit:
1 small blanket (only flannel receiving blankets please)
1 small gown or onesie
a cap (knit is ok, but needs to be small)
a pair of socks
2 cloth diapers, large safety pins
plastic pants if available
wash cloth
1 bar of soap. (You can cut the large ivory soap bars in two pieces and put one piece with one layette.)
A lot of women at retreat wanted a pattern so they could make their own onesies. You can get a pattern (and more information about things happening at our hospital in Kibimba) from Lorna Long. Her phone number is 316-524-5104 and her address is 5166 S. Vine St, Wichita, KS, 67217.
