The eight

Named, and accounted for.

Each program below is funded, staffed, and tracked. The current count tells you what has been done. The impact line tells you what it means. Support a specific program by routing your gift there.

01

Care for survivors of trafficking.

Skills training, trauma-informed counseling, ongoing discipleship and mentoring, and leadership & life-skills training for girls rescued from sex trafficking. The safe house is the front door; a livelihood is the back door.

Survivors move from crisis to stability, restoration, and employment — and stay in our community long after they are independent.

02

Widows support.

Monetary assistance, cooking supplies, and clothing for widows in rural communities. Bishop Collins's annual widows' conferences provide protective garments and stipends to thousands more across Nigeria.

Women become financially independent, able to feed their households, and able to keep their children in school rather than sending them away.

03

Hunger relief & emergency aid.

Food distribution and emergency assistance for families in crisis — most of them widow-led households, mothers with small children, or displaced families with nowhere else to turn.

Families — mostly women and children — experience immediate relief and a tangible message: someone has not forgotten them.

04

Education & prevention.

School supplies, uniforms, and menstrual health products that keep girls in the classroom — and out of the early marriages that statistically claim them when they leave.

Girls remain in school, avoid early marriage, and build safer futures. Education is the single most powerful trafficking prevention available.

05

Medical outreach.

Basic health screenings, treatment for illnesses, and funding for emergency surgeries — delivered in villages where the nearest clinic is thirty miles away in either direction, and the next mission may not come for another year.

Families receive healthcare they would otherwise be unable to access, and untreated conditions stop becoming preventable tragedies.

06

Poultry & sustainable livelihoods.

We equip widows with baby chicks, coops, cooking supplies and seeds so they can build sustainable livelihoods. Eggs become breakfast, then income, then a reason to stay home.

Participants generate sustainable income, improve household nutrition, and build long-term economic stability that doesn't depend on aid.

07

Missionary mobility.

Motorcycles and fuel for missionaries serving remote and high-risk villages — places where the road is a footpath and the rainy season cuts a community off for weeks at a time.

The gospel and practical support reach communities previously inaccessible. People who saw no visitors for years see a familiar face every month.

08

Pastoral support.

Monthly stipends — fifty dollars at a time — for pastors serving in high-risk regions, displaced communities, and impoverished rural villages, so the small economic pressure doesn't pull them away from their work.

Local church leaders are strengthened to continue frontline ministry, counseling, and the day-to-day support that holds a village together.

Alleviating suffering. Restoring dignity. Opening doors.

"We share God's love by preaching the gospel without words."
