We’re excited to announce the special projects we’ll be supporting for this year’s Share the Blessing giving campaign.
Each year we select 3 giving opportunities that we feel are especially impactful in our global fields. Some of these are because the needs are acute and urgent, or because the need is large. And each year our CGGC family of churches and donors pours out the blessings the Lord has given to them. In acknowledgement of the Lord’s favor and your generosity, this year, we’re going above and beyond.
This year, we have selected 4 needs in our international fields that will make God sized impacts in believers around the globe. That might sound like an exaggeration, but it’s not! These projects are large in scale and when completed, will make a substantial difference in our ability to save the lost, heal the sick, provide for the poor and needy, and educate, train and disciple people. Importantly, these projects don’t just address pressing needs now (although they do that too), but they help to secure and strengthen our mission presence in each of these fields for the future. That’s to say, investment in any of these projects now is an investment that will pay dividends to the kingdom for years to come.
#1 India Campus Medical & English Medium School Project
Initial Goal – 120,000
These funds are needed to expand land use and include new medical and English Medium school ministries at the Uluberia Mission. This involves demolition of condemned buildings and construction of a school, medical facility, and staff housing dorms. This project is necessary in order to keep our Mission registration and continue ministry in India. The government of India requires our Mission to utilize all parcels of land with vital programs for the local communities. This will be a long-term project which, in future, may require additional funds over our initial goal.
#2 Clean Water Wells for International Fields
Initial Goal - $32,000
These funds will be used to dig clean water wells, and purchase hardware and water filtration devices to construct wells in our International Fields. Water scarcity is a constant threat in many of our international fields, where droughts are common, and public infrastructure cannot reach small villages. We’ve built water wells in countries like India, Bangladesh, Haiti, and more, and we want to be prepared to build additional wells as needed.
#3 Support for Latino Ministries and Kenya Field Leaders
Initial Goal - $24,000
These funds will help provide biblical leadership teaching/training for our Field Leaders in Argentina, Dominican Republic, Mexico, Nicaragua, Venezuela, and Kenya. Our field leaders in each of our mission fields are pastors themselves, but are often pastoring other pastors too. That level of leadership, especially in challenging environments, requires continued training and education. These funds will also provide travel expenses for them to visit and mentor church leaders within the fields they oversee.
#4 Land Purchase for New Church Building in Kenya
Initial goal - $6,000
We are raising $6,000 to purchase land near Kagio, Kenya, where a new church will be built to serve the local community and support pastoral training. The funds to build the church are currently being raised by our pastors in Kenya through Voice of the Gospel Ministry (VOGM). The CGGC has committed to providing funds to purchase this plot of land while VOGM church members are committed to providing the funds to construct the church building. These commitments reflect the strong partnership in ministry and leadership development between CGGC and VOGM.
The current Kagio church is in critical condition; small and structurally unsound. Despite these challenges, our pastors continue to serve faithfully. The new church will not only replace the current building but also become a regional hub for workshops, training, and spiritual growth.
Our goal is to secure the land and have the new building built by early 2027, in time for the Winebrenner Theological Seminary graduation ceremony, which we hope to host in the new facility. Your gift will help secure the foundation, literally and spiritually, for a thriving ministry in Kenya.
We’re grateful for all our donors who’ve made our annual Share the Blessing campaigns a success. In the past few years, thanks to our donors and supporters, we’ve successfully funded more than $45,000 in life saving medical equipment for Bangladesh, a new van for our Gamerco Church and the USA Southwest field, a new church building in Nicaragua, a new Fellowship Center in India, and more. These projects, faithfully funded by you, are changing lives for Jesus, and we pray that we can continue this mission with this years campaign too.
