FRUIT TREES

Plant a sustainable gift that keeps on giving! Fruit trees serve as a consistent source of nutrition, helping to fulfill one of a community’s basic needs. As the trees develop, their harvest can also provide an additional source of income. Your donation will gift a tree that will bear fruit (literally and figuratively) in Nicaragua for years to come.

SOCCER

The sport of soccer naturally creates great connections. RI Partners in Asia have used this to their advantage, creating a thriving community that provides many chances to share the love of Jesus. Your donation will help them facilitate soccer tournaments, rent soccer fields, and cover the costs of team registration and travel.

BAPTISM CLASSES

Encourage new believers from a Muslim background by covering the cost of baptism preparation classes. Your gift will help a new believer gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of baptism, learn what life with Jesus looks like, and ensure they are committed to their faith. This is a great way to celebrate with them the work that God has done in their lives!

LEADERSHIP TRAINING

The gospel is constantly moving throughout the globe, and many new congregations are forming as a result. Your donation will build up the emerging church overseas by providing training for the local leaders of these faith communities, equipping them to be healthy spiritual leaders.

FRESH WATER

Give the gift of healthy water to a growing church in West Africa. The shallow well at the Mennonite church in Pirang, Gambia, is tainted—leading to bacterial infection and sickness among those who drink the water. Your gift will help the church drill a new, deeper well and properly seal it so this problem is not repeated.

SUSTAINABILITY IN THE DESERT

Every five to seven years, East Africa is hit with a catastrophic drought. Unlivable desert land is spreading, and the livelihoods of the region’s nomadic and agricultural peoples are at stake. RI workers in the region are using land regeneration techniques to restore barren land to sustainable productivity, even through years of drought. Your gift will help the team enhance their current work, purchase better breeding stock to improve their herds, begin additional land restoration efforts, and invest in infrastructure.
