International (USA) ― The partnership of the Great Co-Mission Catalog is helping Christians on the mission field. By meeting a physical need, it often opens the doors for missionaries to share the hope of Christ.
World Gospel Mission's Kristi Crisp says she's working on raising funds for winter clothes for an orphan ministry in Kazakhstan. "Kazakhstan has some pretty harsh winters. So this helps provide funding for the orphanage to make sure that those kids don't have to face a winter in the cold. So far, we have raised enough money for eight students, and our project goal is to raise funds for at least nine more."
There are over 85 projects to choose from. Many of these are ideas that neighbors and families and co-workers can easily get behind. They're raising funds for everything from school supplies in Kazakhstan to musical instruments that are needed for worship in India, or even providing drinkable water to communities in Uganda.
The idea behind these projects is: ownership. The participant picks a project, sets a goal, and begins to get the word out. WGM provides the missionaries, the fundraising tools, and the coaching.
Participants provide the people, the resources, and the drive to make it happen. The goal is to raise up schools, build clinics, drill wells, and, above all, share the gospel.
Says Crisp, "It's a real easy process. You build your own Web site to promote this project. I'm doing everything from word of mouth, to sharing on Facebook, to sharing it on my personal blog--just ways to get it out to people in my sphere of influence."
