When you give a gi! from the Hopeful Gi!s for Change catalogue, each item offers more than just delight. It travels from your heart, and offers hope and renewed life to the person who receives it.

Some gi!s will be opened and enjoyed immediately. Hungry families receive food. A girl gets to go to school. Children drink clean water at school.

In other places, the true value of the gi! appreciates over a longer period of time. Pastors become equipped to lead.

Marginalized women receive skills training. Local churches become empowered to transform their communities.

No ma#er how long it takes, today you can offer a gi! of hope from your generosity and compassion. It’s the gi! that lasts a lifetime.

$50

Sponsor a New Pastor

Churches grow and thrive with varied skills. Help train church leaders in administration, financial management, conflict resolution, and other skills needed for effective church ministries, and support churches in countries such as South Sudan and Kenya.

I am a Master of Divinity graduate of the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary (ABTS) in Lebanon. I work as a counsellor and Bible teacher at a school (grades K-12). Since the Syrian crisis started, I am also involved in my church’s ministry among refugees.

We spend much time in prayer with them. A lot of healings have happened.

I do discipleship training for women who have come to faith, who are now themselves leading Bible study groups, and others to faith. They pray with such fervor. The joy and transformation that you see in them is so beautiful. It is amazing to see what God is doing through the whole Middle East.

It is just beautiful to be a part of it.”
