Your kindness is felt around the world.

Chimanimami, Zimbabwe suffered significant impact from Typhoon Idai 1.5 years ago.  Our staff Alec and Itai worked hard to help in this area, and Unto partnered with them to provide a shipping container full of shoes, wheelchairs, and more.  Unto also provided the community 5 wells, 2,000 people received bucket water filters, and 1,000 children received school supplies.

“He takes the time to sit with us in our suffering.”

–said about Alec

Because of this partnership, 12 churches were planted, and 22 pastors completed church planting and discipleship training. You and I are helping provide clarity for Unto’s strategy and greater effectiveness to reach people, like in Chimanimani.

Unto is Cru’s compassion ministry. With your help, I’m able to come alongside Unto’s leadership team to clarify their strategy, which has led to greater effectiveness. They aim to demonstrate humanitarian kindness to help Cru staff and ministries gain access, build credibility, and increase effectiveness in ministry. Because Cru has a ministry presence in over 190 countries, this humanitarian aid is hand delivered by our caring staff.

As we heard this story, it helped put into perspective the many challenges we are facing here, as significant as they are. You and we get to have an incredibly significant impact on the lives of so many people for eternity.

This strange year has resulted in the loss of some of our ongoing support for our ministry with Cru. Next year we will need to take some time to develop additional support, but we want to invite you to consider a special gift at the end of this year to help us begin next year on a solid footing.

We are praying to receive an additional $5,000 in special gifts to replace lost support, and help us continue to focus on our ministry. We recognize this year has been challenging for many, but if you are able to provide an additional gift in December, it will allow us to continue to stay engaged full time.

The easiest way to give is to visit give.cru.org/0374749, and indicate how you would like to help. 

We are grateful to you for your faithfulness to the Lord, and your friendship with us we serve with Cru. It is an honor to partner with you.

With love and thanks,
