Gary and Carol Wright's Donations include support for World Renewal Office salaries and expenses (4 families). What happened during COVID-19? Our Church partners kept their commitments. You who are individual donors, held us up strong. We are slightly behind last year. Some of our business partners fell away and some increased their support. American farmers and agricultural businesses came through again this year. Let’s rejoice together. Praise be to the Lord Jesus for helping each person, family, church, and business be strong so that they could be globally generous.

World Renewal 2020 Reflection

Dear Friends of the Christ Child,

Thank You! You supported us through the most uncertain times. 2020 is almost over and a new year of opportunity is almost here. God used you to support World Renewal to expand and experience one of its largest growth spurts ever during this pandemic era!

Operation Food Baskets handed out groceries, prepared food and meds, many received the “Living Bread” and were introduced to Christ. You gave $42,141.83 and 100% went to this endeavor in Brazil, India, Africa, and Haiti. In Brazil over 1000 baskets have been given feeding a family of four for a month. Over 50 people have come to Christ. Gospel Friends, our partner in India, reports over 350,000 food packets given out and 7000 families received groceries. North and West Africa provided food for three months to over 500 families, who were at great risk.

World Renewal Christmas Gift, ”Use as Needed” Christmas gifts give us the flexibility to meet the most urgent needs here in the US and globally. Join us in prayer trusting God for a $50,000 Christmas offering to end this year of uncertainty. We know this will be accomplished with gifts of $5, $10, $100, $1000, and more. Here are some of our hopes and needs. God still uses the generous hearts of North Americans to share the Gospel globally and it is working. You are:

“rocking around” the globe this Christmas!

Bibles and Training Needed in Mozambique

"I never tire of praising God for the privilege of serving Him on this continent!" Assuerio Naque

Assuerio meets pastors from developing areas of Mozambique and discovers pastors without Bibles. Some are unable to read! Is there a solution? Yes! We can even purchase Study Bibles in Portuguese for pastors. But what about pastors and leaders who cannot read or who only speak one of the other tribal languages? Soon Assuerio and his team will be trained to teach the Bible to pastors and leaders who cannot read. (i.e.) 40 Bible stories are taught through memorization techniques to assure accuracy in teaching and training others. It works and is called

Oral Based Training. World Renewal is already doing this successfully in other places. Help Assuerio give these tools to pastors.

222 Project Training Leaders

2 Timothy 2:2 Equipping and training of those who will train others is what we did best during this Covid-19 era. Ramiro and Claudia expanded their Leadership development to 15+ countries. Help fund them in 2021.

Sponsor a Pastor/Evangelist

Most pastors outside of North America are bi-vocational. What does that mean? It means they are fulltime ministers who must work another fulltime job to support their families. Its brutal! The Apostle Paul made tents to support himself at times and individuals and churches helped him other times. It is best for the minister to own their own business, as did Paul, so they can manage their ministry time with flexibility. The Bi-VO Ministry Project helps set them up in their own businesses. Our goal is to raise $10,000 for this project. Help us help these frontline warriors and their families.

Send a Child to School in 2021

with a Christmas Gift

COVID-19 has created a crisis for those who are daily wage earners (those who earn their living and are dependent on what is received that day). Under COVID-19 lockdowns they cannot provide for their families basic needs. Children are then at risk for food and medical needs. World Renewal is helping in those areas, however families are without funds to send their children to school. In some of our countries $100 sends a child to school for a year! What a wonderful Christmas gift! Many are Muslim background going to our schools. What a Christmas opportunity as school openings for 2021 have been delayed due to lack of funding.
