We would like to share our burdens and struggles with you in order for you to feel like you have can get involved in our ministry, even being miles away. Your prayers are always coveted.
However, if you feel like the Lord has impressed on you to do more, we have listed below specific ways to help. People are in need literally everywhere. However, one of the sections below may hit home, due to personal experience. Many of you can think back on how the Lord used other people in your lives to help you in times of needs. How great it would be to turn that memory into future memories of helping other individuals for the Lord’s glory.
In every ministry, there are needs, and it does not take much imagination to know what they are in a place like San Pedro. In a country where the average pastor's salary in a village is 10,000 CFA or $20 USD a month, one can imagine how much of a financial burden a child’s sickness or schooling can be to a pastor’s family with five children. Even if the parents are doing all in their power to find additional income, it oftentimes does not cover the living costs. So what happens? People are succumbed to the following options since the government does not offer much support: the child does not get the medicine, the child does not go to school, or the family does not properly eat. Missionaries in such a context are in a precarious situation. Knowing who to give money to and in what conditions requires much prayer and wisdom.
