Children are hungry; orphans are caring for themselves in the midst of the pain of losing their parents; families are in dire need of clean water; treatable diseases are ravaging entire countries… the list goes on.

That is why we at Believers World Outreach feel so humbled and honored to be able to facilitate short-term missions trips this summer to the countries of Costa Rica and Uganda, in order to help provide practical solutions to these types of needs, as well as meeting the important need of sharing the gospel message to thousands of hurting people.

How can you help? While BWO has covered the administrative costs of each of these trips, we are still in desperate need of supplies to carry out our mission. Here are the areas where you can assist us:

? Medical Outreach. With four total trips this summer, each with a focus on meeting medical needs among people who have little or no access to medical care, we have a great need to purchase medicine and the talents of in-country physicians to diagnose and administer them.

? Vacation Bible School. At BWO, we take care to revisit the same places year after year, and we’ve seen long-term impact on children’s lives through our VBS outreach. Thousands of children participate in our programs, and we need to purchase supplies for snacks, take-home crafts, and other items.

? Construction. Our construction teams bring the strength, the knowledge, and the sweat—but they cannot bring the supplies. This year, we plan on improving an orphanage and a church in Uganda and Costa Rica. The work we do can have eternal consequences.

? Gulu. The rebel war in Northern Uganda may be over, but its impact will still be felt for years. BWO plans on visiting this area to provide much-needed love and attention to a population teeming with former child soldiers. Our medical and VBS teams would appreciate any help you can give.

? Ongoing Missions. This year we are partnering with Calvary Chapel in Jaco Beach, Costa Rica to reach out to a community filled with partygoers and addicts, and to help our reach extend beyond our stay, we want to provide people with a small gift card they can redeem at CC Jaco.

God has made you unique… Why not use those gifts this summer on a short term missions trip? There are many places to serve on a Believers World Outreach trip. You can probably think of a million reasons why it’s a good thing to reach out beyond your own world into someone else’s. No one questions why sharing Jesus, delivering hope, or meeting a need is vital. But in our over-scheduled,trying-to-keep-all-the-plates- spinning while keeping all-the-balls-in-the-air life, why may not be the appropriate question. But instead, why not?

Why not respond to God’s call, why not live with no egrets, why not give a piece of yourself to some of the most deserving people on the planet: Perfect strangers! It’s what Jesus did. Compelled by love he sent to a place where no one knew him and started meeting all kinds of needs in all kinds of ways; wedding catering, marriage counseling, storm chaser, childcare activities director, you name it, if there was a need, Jesus filled it. He understands the roles, responsibilities and situations of life. And often, those hings are merely a way for us to respond to the call to e Jesus’ hands and feet meeting the needs of one another. Needs that exist next door or a world away. Believers World Outreach aspires to follow in Jesus seed-filling footsteps.
