New Heights Ministry – #GivingTueNow

COVID-19 Crisis Response As an organization, we acknowledge that the real value of what we have to offer is in the message we communicate. That is why our means of communication may change depending on the audience or context, but our message of hope through Jesus Christ will always remain the same. On October 17th, large scale street demonstrations began in Lebanon. Roads, banks, and schools were closed. The situation has been very uncertain, both politically and economically.

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 [...]

Faith At Work Network – COVID-19 Crisis Update

COVID-19 Crisis Response Andy Crouch, writing in the Praxis Journal, suggests that “The novel coronavirus is not just something for leaders to “get through” for a few days or weeks. Instead, we need to treat COVID-19 as an economic and cultural blizzard, winter, and beginning of a “little ice age” — a once-in-a-lifetime change that is likely to affect our lives and organizations for years.” We have increased our investment during the COVID-19 ice age, supporting Canadian’s in the workplace.  Would you consider partnering with us?

There are around 120,000 orphans and vulnerable children in desperate need of care. In 2006, a team of social developers and entrepreneurs [...]

Shelter Canada

Jim Noble heard God's call on his life to get involved in missions.
