Celebrate Missions Projects

Seven projects | Giving goal $75,000 CAD

 

This year, we are giving to help plant and strengthen local churches, alongside ministries that reach their communities with the gospel hope and gospel-inspired love for the neighbor. We want our “neighbors and nations” to hear of Jesus Christ, find their hope in him, and grow as his disciples in and through local churches.

 

Arabic Church Plant in Kingston, Ontario | $5,000

Help launch a new Arabic church plant through our missionary, reaching Arabic-speaking neighbors with the gospel.

 

Cambodia Student Hostel Repairs | $6,000

Repair bathrooms at a hostel that reaches students from Buddhist communities. This one-time gift meets a specific need in a ministry we already support.

 

Support for Fourteen Church Plants in Bangladesh | $9,000

Through four workers we support, help 14 churches with evangelistic events, clean-water tanks for two churches, blankets for 300 families, care for people with disabilities, and construction of a small church building serving a thriving evangelistic ministry.

 

Kurdish Church Plant in Lebanon | $10,000

Provide two years of rent for a Kurdish church plant established two years ago through our missionary, supporting its continuing ministry.

 

CAPRO Canada Camp Rhino | $15,000

Support two camps serving 120 campers in summer 2027, helping this outreach ministry reach campers with the gospel.

 

Nepal Church Building and Regional Training Center | $15,000

Help complete a church building and regional training center that have remained unfinished for more than five years, and support the local missionary. Pastor Joy visited the project in 2026 and saw the ministry first hand, and served there among 75 pastors.

 

Ministry Support for Four Churches in India | $15,000

Support ministry expenses for four local churches through our missionary, including discipleship events, training, support for interns, missions program, and church rentals.

 

Please pray and consider giving toward our $75,000 goal as we help churches and gospel ministries serve neighbors and nations. Celebrate Missions Projects giving is open from October 25 to November 22, 2026.
