Spending ourselves for others
We are meant to be spent for the benefit of others. Isaiah says it this way, 'if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday'. Isaiah 58:10
As you can imagine, each one of our 30 global workers and 20 global partners are experiencing massive challenges during our COVID-19 lockdown. Finances are not always the answer but coupled with the coaching and prayer that we provide, the money we give to our partners goes far to ensure staff can keep their jobs so that they continue to reach out to their communities who are suffering because of unemployment, hunger, and loneliness.
As you may know, the way that we support our global workers and partners is by giving to the Missions Fund, the Cambodia Fund or the Refugee Fund. Both our Missions and Cambodia Funds are struggling right now.
If you would like to give, here is what you can do.
- Pray about how much you would like to give.
- Consider and to which fund(s) you would like to donate to.
- Missions Fund goes to our 30 own global workers and 50% goes to our missionaries with the Christian and Missionary Alliance.
- Cambodia Fund goes to our 10 global partners and global workers.
- Refugee Fund goes to local work in settling refugee families and supporting work in refugee camps in Lebanon.
- Mexico (Rancho El Camino) - give to the Missions Fund until we have a Mexico Fund set up. Let us know as you donate or at missions@tenth.ca to ensure your donation finds its way to Mexico.
- Give online, by cheque or PAD.
- Please indicate which fund you would like your donation to go to, but please do not print that on a cheque.
- Consider giving a monthly donation.
Remember that our administration fees are covered by our 'in house staff,' which means more money gets to the field.
Thank you for your consideration, generosity, and prayer.
May your light shine!
