The Need Is Greater Than Ever
Aren’t you glad that kingdom ministry keeps moving forward as we move up and out of COVID-19? I know I am! Because when times are at their worst, it’s time for Christians to be at their best. And that’s why I’m so happy to tell you about our May Match initiative – where your investment in Christ’s kingdom gets multiplied.
During this global pandemic and time of uncertainty, the need is greater than ever.
Children and adults living with disability still need wheelchairs and they still need Jesus. And so I’m thrilled that some very dear friends of this ministry have graciously offered to match every dollar you give this month.
That means that every dollar has twice as much ministry power. Twice as many special needs families will receive the help and hope they so desperately need; twice as many people with disabilities will be drawn out of the darkness and into a saving relationship with Christ.
This unique opportunity means that $50 becomes $100, and $100 becomes $200 or $1,000 becomes $2,000! Your prayers and gifts really do change lives. The impact is exponential!
And remember, while you might be experiencing isolation and loneliness during this shelter-at-home season, the families we serve feel this weight every single day.
For children like Don from Thailand and Angela from Peru who both have cerebral palsy, compromised immune systems and other disabling conditions, just getting outside their homes is almost impossible.
But these two children from opposite sides of the world – both struggling with similar disabilities – well, both of their lives and their families’ lives were changed forever when they received a much needed wheelchair and most importantly, the Gospel message and a Bible in their own language. Now that’s what I call multiplying ministry for God’s eternal kingdom!

Our goal is to raise $500,000 this month so that once it’s matched, that will be one million dollars of Christ-honoring, life-giving ministry. Won’t you help us reach that goal so that more and more children like Don and Angela can come to know Jesus?
God bless you for being so generous! Because even during this pandemic, we continue to share hope through every hardship and help people struggling with disability all over the world.
Together we can reach this God-sized goal!
