"Midwest Mission regularly receives requests from its trusted partners. That's how we reach people on local, regional, national and international levels," says Executive Director, Chantel Corrie.

Angels Of Hope Shipment En Route to Honduras
|
|
Thursday, July 21, volunteers prayed over the second shipment to Honduras this week. The 20-ft. container was filled with supplies to benefit Angels of Hope, a Food For The Poor program serving orphans and seniors.
This container included 360 Home Care Kits, 840 Personal Dignity Kits (PDKs) and toothpaste for each of the PDKs.
Rockline Industries provided 238 boxes of disinfectant wipes and 171 boxes of 16.9 oz bottles of antibacterial hand wash for this shipment.
While we send these tangible items, it is the prayer, encouragement and hope - the intangible items included - that make the deepest impact. Sending the supplies opens those doors to life change.
Thank you for partnering with us to shine God's light around the world and around the corner.
Value: $51,230.00

We are excited to share the June Summary of Operations. Take a look at the YTD 2022 column compared to the FY 2021 Jan-Dec column. The impact being made through Midwest Mission continues to grow exponentially. We look forward to seeing what God has in store for the second half of 2022. Thank you for helping us show God's love in practical ways.

I volunteer at Midwest Mission because:
"this is a world-wide ministry that is making a difference for Jesus. That I can bring young people to Midwest Mission and have them activate their faith is powerful. The hope is that those young folks, after serving, will activate their faith and outreach in their home churches making a difference in the world by being the hands and feet of Jesus."
My Favorite thing to do at Midwest Mission is:
"talking and interacting with the staff at Midwest Mission...an efficient and difference-making ministry for Jesus that has a world-wide impact. Thank you Midwest Mission for your efforts."
Thank you, Tim and the Your Obedient Servant Mission Camp group, for your service to Midwest Mission!

Please lift prayers of thanksgiving this week for God's amazing provision.
"In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.' ”
Acts 20:35
