"Connecting helpful people with needy communities".

All of the projects below are currently seeking support to bring them to fruition. Mission International would like to connect your church, school or community group with one of these projects via 'Support Link'. Your involvement could be in terms of fundraising in the UK or it might be that you would like to take a team of people to share expertise, talents and know-how with those who are in great need. Please consider how best you can help the projects below. Your group can have sole responsibility for a project or can partner with another group to reach the completion and fulfillment of the project.

India:

Buffalo project - in support of those with leprosy. This project is with GEM (Gideon Evangelical Ministries) Pastor Nathaniel Vara Prasad. http://gideon-evangelical-ministries.blogspot.com/ I have not fully worked out the detail on this project yet but I expect it to work out between £3000 - £4000. The idea is to purchase a number of milking buffaloes (the use these instead of cows). The buffaloes will be expected to give birth and so as part of that process there will be a zero milk period, at that point a further group of Buffaloes will be purchased allowing for a round the year provision of milk. The idea is to provide milk for the leprosy sufferers as well as have some to sell thus creating an income generating project as well as one beneficial to the group in terms of health.

Rwanda:
Rev Nathan Amooti (pronounced Ah-mow-tee) - construction of a roof on 'The Mango Tree Church' an Anglican church in the capital city Kigali in the township of Gikondo (Pronounced Ji-cone-doh). This pastor is a real church planter, he sees churches grow wherever he is sent. Recently he left a large church and went to this run down and very small church. Now the church is growing but it is in a very poor area of the capital city. He needs funding to finish the church building, the congregation has been meeting out of doors and services are continually interrupted by rain nowadays. To complete the church roof will be in the region of £14,000, however the Church is also doing some fundraising locally and they will contribute to this as much as they can.

Burundi:

Refugee returnee homes: About 900.000 refugees are now returning to Burundi from DR Congo and Tanzania now that the war has finished in Burundi. Refugees are given about 6 months support from the Govt/international aid after that they are on their own. They arrive back in the country with no more than they stand up in and so find it very difficult to establish themselves. Basic homes consisting of 2 bedrooms, a living/dining area, an outside kitchen and a pit latrine will cost in the region of £2000. These homes will be built in such a way that they can be extended in the future once the families get on their feet.

Homes for Medical workers in Nyembuye: Nyembuye is a very rural village community in the province of Matana near the town of Rutana. Rema Ministries have opened a medical centre there and Mission International is helping them fund a water supply to the centre and to the community costing £10,000, a further need that they have is to build homes for medical personnel who currently travel in to the centre but transport is a problem and emergency care is unavailable in the centre when staff are not present. Rema would like to build homes for the medical staff adjacent to the centre costing £??

Rema Ministries Strategic Support: Rema Ministries is the partner of and host organisation for Mission International in Burundi. The men and women who serve with Rema are all returnees and have families to support. These men and women are key to the future of the nation, they serve in areas of Bible teaching, HIV/Aids training, translation of materials into Kirundi, Reconciliation ministry between factions etc. We hope to be able to help them set up income generating projects so that they are able to stay in the ministry.

Support Link

"Linking helpful people and needy communities".

Refugee returnees in Burundi

Refugees from Tanzania in makeshift church

Basic school classroom makes it possible for education to begin.

The purpose of Support Link is to make a connection or a LINK between churches and other community groups in the UK with those who are in need of SUPPORT in the developing world.

Your group can get hands on involvement with a project in the developing world. The opportunities which can arise from this are enormous. The experience in terms of ministry, service and global citizenship is very worthwhile at home and abroad. Aimless people can find a real purpose and needy communities can find help at the same time. Communities here and those abroad can find a connection which can last into the future and a great deal of useful mutual benefit can arise from such an enterprise.

If you would like to see your church or group become involved in such a venture then please get in touch with us on mail@mission-international.org
