Lighthouse Voyage – COVID-19 Crisis Update

Lighthouse Voyage exists to be a beacon of hope for sex-trafficked women and children in India. A pandemic threat like the COVID-19 crisis affects every population without prejudice, and we stand to speak for those whose voices cannot be heard through the global outcry in this season. By providing shelter, care, and rehabilitation to those individuals who are neglected and abused by their own communities, we provide healing and hope in a part of the world not characterized by widespread access to healthcare or social programs in the ways that North America is blessed to be.

International Care Ministries – #GivingTueNow

COVID-19 Crisis Response So far, the Philippines has about 7,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and about 500 deaths. These are overwhelmingly in the Manila area since testing in the provinces is limited. At ICM, we are starting to see the provincial health impact of the virus – the father of one of our senior ICM staff was diagnosed with COVID-19 two days ago and he passed away yesterday. But with lockdowns, our staff member was unable to be in her hometown. We grieve for her and for her family. And for many other Filipino families who will soon be [...]

Fida International – COVID-19 Crisis Update

In East Africa, the CORONA SPRING may become a time of despair. So many people at risk hunger and even death. Although the number of infected persons is still low, we know that the COVID-19 crisis also has the potential to create a severe food security crisis in Africa. The region’s fragile health systems could quickly get overloaded in a widespread outbreak. FAO is particularly concerned about “the pandemic’s impacts on vulnerable communities already grappling with hunger or other crises such as the desert locust outbreak in the Horn of Africa”.  (sourced from: SCMP 19.04.20) Fida International partners [...]

Great Commission Media Ministries – COVID-19 Crisis Update

As Christians, we need to be creative with the opportunities and technology that God has given us. Great Commission Media Ministries (GCMM) is unique in its strategy, using mass media and technology to reach out to the lost. Satellite TV is accessible and safe for people exploring Christianity in places where missionaries cannot go. For many Muslims around the world, government and social restrictions barricade access to the Gospel in ways that are nearly impossible to overcome.  Not only this, but it is effective! GCMM receives hundreds of thousands of letters and emails every month from new Christians [...]

LINK Village Society – COVID-19 Crisis Update

In townships, vast numbers of orphans, vulnerable children, and women at risk line up in long queues to get food. The [...]

Partners In Hope Tanzania – COVID-19 Crisis Update

Right now in Tanzania, there are 200 albino children aged 5-12 in protective custody at Mitindo School. Cement walls 8ft high, bars and an armed guard keep them safe as they are targets. Why?

Evangelical Church of Liberia – COVID-19 Crisis Update

During the time that ECOL’s Christian schools in Liberia are closed, we are trying desperately to provide enough financial support for their 93 teachers (at 9 schools) so that they can feed their families. Since 2018, we have been assisting them with a small amount of salary subsidy from September to June when most of the pay comes from student fees and then provide their income for July and August. Annually, 74% came from student fees and 26% came from generous donors until the schools were mandated to close. Now we are relying fully on the generosity of [...]

Shelter El Salvador – COVID-19 Crisis Update

In 2001 a series of earthquakes shook El Salvador. The devastation from the earthquakes created critical and life-threatening situations. The country had been crippled by natural disasters and civil war, leaving poverty and its struggles as a lingering burden on its people. Since 2002 Shelter Canada has been working in El Salvador.  With missionaries, local churches, representatives from local communities, Shelter Canada continues to build relationships through the provision of sustainable housing, all in the name of Jesus Christ.
