1 Christmas Festival Mission Partners Afar Partnership Ethiopia For thousands of years, the Afar people have, in their words, followed the tails of their cattle, looking for water and food for their animals and children. Seventeen years ago we teamed up with the Mekane Yesus Church to visit this remote desert. Afar leaders welcomed us with open arms: Please come help us, we are the forgotten people of Ethiopia. We talked with these Muslim leaders about their hopes and dreams. For 17 years we have been taking the love of Jesus to the desert in the form of schools, health clinics, water wells, and irrigation projects. Now, many Afar families are settling down and learning to farm. The desert soil is very fertile, IF you can get water to it. There is one river that runs through the desert. With our support, Afar men have dug many miles of irrigation canals and are pumping water to hundreds of acres of land that is turning green! Half the farmers we train are women. With her husband and children proudly looking on, Miriam told us that she received from the president of Ethiopia, a Model Farmer Award; one of six given out that year in the whole country! She produces food to feed her family and to sell in the market. This income is used to send her kids to school and to help needy neighbors. This is the love of Jesus at work! You can help Miriam and her family and many like them make a new life. $10 will provide corn seed for one acre $25 will buy a water pump to get water from the canal to Miriam s land.

2 Ambassadors Fellowship (AF) Linda Dyer - Colorado Ambassadors Fellowship is an international interdenominational mission agency that seeks to extend the kingdom of God throughout the world especially in the areas that are least reached or unreached with the Gospel. AF now ministers in Mexico, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Spain Kenya, Nigeria, Benin, Liberia and various other nations. Support Linda Dyer, a New Life Member in Missions with AF as she participates in several short-term, cross-cultural, evangelistic ministries. Your prayers and donations will help spread the Good News of Jesus Christ to our neighbors throughout the world, as Linda continues her full time work with Ambassadors Fellowship. Gifts of $25 will help with the costs of travel and housing for evangelistic mission trips. East Africa Partnership Kenya East Africa Partnership and its predecessor have been helping meet the needs of people in Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda for 20 years. This rapidly growing ministry is a true partnership where every project is partially funded and carried out by local volunteers. Projects are self-sustaining within 2 years and 100% of your donation goes to meet the needs in the community. The EAP partners with local and national governments, multiple churches and denominations, hospitals, universities and businesses in order to reach the people of East Africa and share the love of Jesus Christ. New Home for Christmas: Our current project is to refurbish a home for children owned by the African Inland Church to enable it to accept 65 new girls in December. We have raised $50,000 for the refurbishment. The children still need uniforms, and shoes, schoolbooks and fees to get them into their new environment. Please help a child have a home for the holidays. $25 supports a child for a month

3 Every Nation Ministries Paul & Tina Dario Southern California region It s said, and is our observation, that the values on the college campus today will become the values of our society in the next 5-10 years. That s one main reason we believe it s vital for us to reach the college campus. Our goal is to honor God and make disciples. We do this by equipping and empowering students to lead their fellow classmates to Christ through one-on-one meetings and hosting small group Bible studies on their campuses. $25 special gift partnering with us to reach college students HELP Indonesia New Life Community Church Indonesian Ministry (NLCC Indonesian) supports mission work in Papua, Medan, and Pulau Guntung through HELP Indonesia. An orphanage was built in Medan to care for 32 children and an orphanage was also built in Sentani, Papua to care for 24 children. We also support Rev. Titus Dima, an Indonesian missionary in Guinea Bissau, by sending him much needed vitamins and medications. We feel deeply motivated to continue raising funds for these mission projects, especially in Sentani-Papua, since there are many more children who have been waiting to be part of this orphanage but cannot be accepted due to lack of funds. HELP Indonesia was birthed from a common burden to assist poor Indonesian children who lost their parents and are unable to get an education. $25- $50 for 1 child: daily needs, school tuition/supplies & medical Imago Dei Church Daniel (DJ) & Crista Jansson Downey, CA Imago Dei Church is a new church plant for the city of Downey. Imago Dei means Image of God which is the first description of humanity in the Scriptures. We believe that every person in every place was made to know God and display what He is like. Our mission is to behold Jesus, to become like Jesus, and to put Jesus on display in such a way that this image of God is awakened in those who are far from Him. Imago Dei just celebrated their second anniversary and is excited to see God bring renewal to the cities of South East LA. $50 helps connect Imago Dei to a family in need with food & prayer.

4 Kingdom Causes Bellflower Kingdom Causes Bellflower is a faith-based community development organization that seeks to see Bellflower transformed as God s people work together to love their neighbors. Areas of impact include housing homeless neighbors, providing employment for hard-to-hire individuals, and strengthening the local education system. Two years ago, KCB opened Margaret s House, a hospitality house for homeless families. Families stay in Margaret s House for a period of 3 months and receive weekly case management support and savings help toward the goal of moving into their own home! Margaret s House is the only housing program in Bellflower that provides stability for families in crisis. $20 provides safety equipment for a new employee of Good Soil Industries, KCB s social enterprise gardening company that employs hared-to-hire individuals. $30 provides a welcome basket of needed supplies for a homeless family moving into Margaret s House. Long Beach Rescue Mission Long Beach, CA Since 1972, the Long Beach Rescue Mission has opened its doors to thousands of men, women and children. The mission provides food, clothing, shelter and spiritual guidance to the homeless and less fortunate people of the community. Every year, the Long Beach Rescue Mission has given out Christmas stockings to hundreds of children and adults in the community. The Stockings should be filled with items for children and adults. The Stockings will be handed out to homeless people in the community for Christmas. Pick up a stocking with a list for a boy, girl or teen or adult. Shop for the items the list, fill the stocking and bring it back to the Christmas Festival on Sunday, December 10th.

5 Mission Aviation Fellowship Ron and Nancy Hilbrands Headquarters in Nampa, ID Since 1945, MAF has used aviation and other technologies that God has given us to reach isolated people with the Gospel. MAF continues to share the love of Christ from dense jungles to rugged mountains to war torn countries. Deliver Bibles: So the Word of God can be available to all people. MAF is often called upon to carry God s Word to eager villagers who have been waiting to read the Scriptures in their own languages. These deliveries build the foundations for local churches to grow and spread. $6 to transport 3 Bibles Medical Evacuations: So medical care can reach even the most isolated people. For those living in the dense jungles of Kalimantan, Indonesia or the high mountain villages of Lesotho, Africa, access to healthcare can require several days of walking on rough terrain. MAF airplanes provide quick, safe access to medic help. $50 to share the cost New Life Food Distribution New Life Community Church Artesia, CA New Life s Saturday food distribution serves families each week. This is a ministry near and dear to the hearts of this congregation, with hundreds serving in various capacities each month. The food distribution is all about neighbors helping neighbors in their time of need, and loving our community in the name of Jesus. We are always in need of protein to supplement the food that we receive from other venues. We need tuna for every day, and this year, we would love to be able to give out special holiday hams. $20 buys a case of tuna when no protein is available from the Food Bank of Southern California. $25 buys 2 Holiday Hams

6 The Happy Day Project Gary and Anita Hartog Dominican Republic You can support the happiness of a child with the introduction to Christ, through music, reformed teaching, events, interactive games, food, a new toy, a personal Bible for each family and ministry. This grass roots ministry reaches children in their neighborhoods and communities often in rural jungles and territories of the Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Mexico and other Latin American countries, in locations where children and their parents have not had the opportunity to hear about the love and grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Through this ministry, children and there families are being saved. Lives are being transformed, and the Reformed theology of our Lord is being rooted for generations to come. $5, $10, $15 provides school supplies, toys, a Bible, and more. The Navigators Leihlyn Tinio - Los Angeles Please contribute to a fund to support Leihlyn as she continues the effort to deepen relationships with international student friends. Your donations will enable her to visit them in their home countries to meet them and their families on their turf. (Currently, priority relationships are in Brazil, India, Japan, Korea, East Asia, Mid- East, Africa, and others. Of course, this will be over a span of time and will remain in my Navigator account for that purpose.) The visits will be made where there are several people to visit in the particular place and with prayerful guidance and approval and support of Navigator supervisors. $25-$50 contributes to a fund to help students attend spring break trips, conferences and summer training programs designed for their spiritual growth and development as well as to encourage interested non-believing students to be part of these activities. $75-$100 contributes toward overseas mission trips.

7 The RCA Trauma Healing Fund Harry & Pat Miersma - Texas The Global Trauma Healing Project is a joint effort of Wycliffe Bible Translators, the RCA, and the American Bible Society. Refugees, human trafficking victims, war survivors, torture victims, child soldiers, and many others have been helped through this innovative and unique Scripture engagement approach, first developed by Pat Miersma and her mission colleagues in Africa in specific projects to give to through the RCA Trauma Healing Fund: 1. Trauma Healing training in an unspecified Middle East city, for over 30 Arabic speaking Christians from 4 language groups who are caring for thousands of Syrian and Iraqi Christians and others who have fled the terrorist group now occupying significant areas of the cradle of Christianity including the Nineveh Plain. 2. Advanced Trauma Healing training to meet the growing demands for more language groups wanting to use Scripture with the trauma healing book in a sensitive region of Southeast Asia where minority Christians have been persecuted majority governments and others. Please partner with us through a special gift of $25 Wycliffe Daryl & Sun Young - Cameroon We are sent by Wycliffe to work with SIL Cameroon, to build a sustainable Bible translation movement and help Cameroon s 270 language groups to have access to God s word in their heart language. This year we would like to highlight one project: Lessons from Acts is a remarkable new children s curriculum that helps teachers prepare 52 lessons in the mother-tongue, using the book of ACTS translated into the local language. This is another breakthrough in desperately needed children s materials for mother-tongue speakers. Your gift of $20 will provide 1 set of the curriculum (8 books total: 4 teacher guides and 4 Flip Books) for 1 year of lessons for 1 church or Bible Club. Consider the impact of this gift: children, hearing in the language that speaks to their heart the book of Acts, complete with color graphics.
