ProjectScholarships for PROMESA, A Mennonite School In Peru
ContinueQuechua children in Peru face discrimination in local schools due to their ethnicity and their evangelical faith. The Peruvian Mennonite Church decided to establish an alternative to the local school system by founding PROMESA, which offers an academically advanced, Christian education that also frees children from experiencing discrimination at school.
Scholarships
You can help a bright child with insufficient resources get a high-quality Christian education! It takes $1000 to sponsor one student for an entire school year, but any amount helps.
In this short video, learn about PROMESA through the story of 15-year-old Jhon Erik — and find out ways to help this Christian school achieve its future goals.

Building project for PROMESA, a Mennonite school in Peru
ContinueQuechua children in Peru face discrimination in local schools due to their ethnicity and their evangelical faith. The Peruvian Mennonite Church decided to establish an alternative to the local school system by founding PROMESA, which offers an academically advanced, Christian education that also frees children from experiencing discrimination at school.
New building
The school started in 2005 with 11 students; today, nearly 300 children, both Quechua and non-Quechua, are enrolled. Many children were being turned away due to lack of space and insufficient facilities, so the church purchased land in the mountains outside Cusco to construct a new school building. Volunteers from Engineering Ministries International (EMI) have created a three-phase construction plan. Walk through the planned campus here.
$500,000 is needed for site preparation and phase one of building classrooms. With our support, many more Peruvian students can have access to a safe, high-quality, Christian education.

Gambia Discipleship Program
ContinueDiscipleship training and leadership development are critical needs for local believers within the Gambian church. While many pastors and leaders have opportunities to attend seminars and training events, growth opportunities are rarely available to lay members and young people. Krystle and Nate Thorne have begun a discipleship program for a few young women, providing life-on-life discipleship through conversations and lessons, with regular rhythms of weekly Bible study and monthly discipleship classes. They provide room and board so the young women can attend school.
$200 will provide food and home utilities for the young women for one month

Church planting centers in Ethiopia
ContinueMeserete Kristos Church (MKC) in Ethiopia has been working towards fulfilling the Great Commission by sending missionaries to reach least reached people groups in Ethiopia and beyond. By God’s grace, they are seeing many new fellowships started! After the churches are planted, many of the groups are able to build their own worship center by mobilizing local resources. But in some remote areas, believers require outside help to help them procure the needed building materials, especially in areas where most of the first believers are women or youth.
You can partner with the MKC missionaries by contributing to this effort to establish church planting centers in unreached areas of Ethiopia. For each $1000 contributed, MKC is able to help local churches complete a new building.

Christian-Muslim Relations Team French translation and publication
ContinueAmerican Murids is a major new ethnography of an African Sufi Muslim immigrant community in the United States. It is particularly timely given the current contentious discourse concerning Muslims and immigration. By listening to what Murids say about themselves, author Jonathan Bornman gives us the first-ever look at how the spiritual and ethical values of Murids in the diaspora influence the ways they interact with other communities in New York City. Making this book available in French opens new avenues for peacebuilding in the way of Jesus with people in Europe and Africa. To learn more visit the publisher’s website.
