Financial Giving

Currently, the majority of our budget (94%) is raised by the travelers who go and serve on our trips. This money covers the airfaire for the team, food and lodging while on the field and supplies for work projects. Only 6% of our budget right now ($155/month) is made up from monthly donors. We are praying to increase our monthly donors from 3 to 15 givers by the end of this ministry year (December 2008). This monthly regular giving will provide Bibles, clean water, medicine, food and books in this very under-resourced village.

Your one time or monthly support goes towards things like:

• Bibles written in their native tongue (about $10/Bible)
• Food supplies (rice, beans, seeds) for Pastor Martin's family and the orphans
• Bible curriculum and children's books which explain the gospel
• Beds and book shelves for inside our new building
• Blankets, mattresses and bedding for the children
• Mosquito nets and basic medical supplies

Volunteer Your Human Capital

One of our greatest needs is for manpower (and woman-power). We want you to witness the needs of orphans first hand. The majority of us spend thousands of dollars every year on our education - why not be taught out to love like Christ? Many of us spend hundreds on new toys or gadgets. Why not travel and give to those in need instead? If you are interested in going on a trip to Africa next year, please contact us at bridgeconnections@gmail.com. If you aren't ready for a trip yet, but you want to get more involved with Bridge Connections here in the states, we can definitely use your leadership and/or administrative skills. Please contact us to find out more about these opportunities.
