Special Projects
Advocates for the Poor
The Advocates for the Poor project trains poor South Asian women to help their fellow poor obtain rightful government benefits which they are usually lacking because of ignorance, intimidation, and corruption.
Ethiopia Girls Education/PinKGirl

French Thompson Bibles
Several of our supporters have asked how they can give specifically towards providing a Thompson Chain Reference Bible for those pastors and leaders participating in our seminars in French speaking Africa.
Garbage City Ministry
There are three areas of ministry on the outskirts of Cairo, Egypt. The people there collect garbage, sort it, and sell it to make a living. They live in unbelievable filth, and the needs are overwhelmingly great. This ministry has three buildings in three different areas that are used to teach Life Skills, Bible Study, sewing projects, kids’ programs, and ladies’ programs.
Garner Training Ministry
Paraclete Associate Mike Garner trains Christian leaders throughout the world – in person, over the internet and, now, via a training website. You can access the website at Freedomandlight.com. A donation to this special fund will help him continue his training ministry.
Gift of Literacy Project
For most of us, literacy is such a part of our everyday world, it’s almost impossible to imagine life without it. But for nearly 300 million adults in South Asia, 68% being women and girls, the darkness and shame of being unable to read, write or do simple math is an everyday reality. The Women’s Empowerment Project, started by Jerry and Marilyn Hogshead, is changing that reality for nearly 600 women involved in twenty adult literacy classes.
