Partners In Missions
Lay missionary, Javed Khan, shared that in 2020 the Chinese church started hosting online Bible classes. These classes were originally limited to a Bible reading and prayer but have now grown to be a more discussion based study. Questions, along with Bible references, are sent out ahead of time in English and Mandarin. Attendees are then encouraged to read, research, and prepare for an engaging online discussion. The Bible Study has so far been very successful!

This project will cover rental costs for the building where Pastor Retana holds services, Bible studies, and meets with congregational members. All mission resources, transportation, and stipend are covered as well. Currently, there are four young people from the congregation assisting with mission activities.
I want to support Mission and Ministry in Costa Rica.
This is a new project to provide music instruction for the youth in Costa Rica through weekly visits by the music instructor. Similar to the Nicaraguan program, the goal is to enrich the edification of the church communities through enhanced music worship.
I want to support music training for children and youth.
Children and youth receive musical training by a full-time staff musician as they learn to play instruments, allowing them to actively participate in their congregation’s worship services. Keyboards, guitars, speakers, microphones, band equipment, music sheets are needed. The project also provides funding for transportation and meals when training is taking place.

$1.50 can provide a substantial and healthy meal for a child in any community in Nicaragua. There are groups of anywhere from 40 to 80 children in each of the Central American feeding programs where the children hear Bible studies and learn the Small Catechism. A deaconess and pastor lead the programs while the children are fed once or twice a week. The funding goal for the project has increased this year to allow even more children to access the program.
I want to support feeding for the children of Nicaragua.
This valuable ministry, provided at the churches by the deaconesses and pastors, offers tutoring in mathematics, Spanish, science, and, most importantly, lessons from the Word of God. Funding is needed to ensure that the 60 children attending the program in 2020 will have the backpacks, notebooks, and educational resources needed for each child’s scholarship.

Bishop Alexander Urchenko and other SELCU pastors attend the prison near Nikolaev weekly where they visit and counsel inmates, lead Services of the Word, teach Bible studies, and provide formal catechism instruction. This ministry has received a great response from the prisoners, the prison administration, and even the government.
I want to support the pastor and his prison ministry in Ukraine.
