Without YOU, we cannot be Life Empowering…Equipping for Change. There are a variety of ways to partner in the work that God is doing in Rwanda. Please take a minute and consider how your gifts can best be used.
Pray for those in need
Prayer is not the least you can do…it is the most you can do. CALM was founded on prayer, and our ministries and the people they touch continue to rely on your prayer and petitions to God. Your prayers will help to sustain the children, families, pastors, leaders, and staff in one of the most important ways; through the protection and provision of our Heavenly Father.
“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him.” –1 John 5:14-15 (NKJV)
Become an Advocate
Advocacy can be a very fulfilling and an exciting way to support the work God is doing through CALM in Rwanda. When put in perspective, you can become the voice for the millions of unheard and silenced people in Rwanda. It is an opportunity to champion the cause of the hurting and oppressed and connect them with people who care and have the means to help. If you are interested in becoming an advocate, please email us your contact information. We would love to share some ideas with you and, even better, hear your ideas as well.
Volunteer your time and talent
We have all been blessed with time and different talents that we are called to share with others. Many things you do on a day to day basis can make a significant difference for the people we serve in Africa. Please don’t take you talents for granted as CALM is always in need of volunteers to help us with local opportunities. We often rely on the talents and skills of volunteers to complete projects and achieve our mission. If you would like to find out what volunteer and service opportunities are available, please email us your contact information and areas of interest.
“Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith; or ministry, let us use it in our ministering; he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.” –Romans 12:6-8 (NKJV)
Give
Give generously as you are able. CALM is a faith-based evangelical ministry supported solely by donations from individuals, churches and foundations who wish to make a difference. Help us share the love of Christ to a needy people in Rwanda and train Godly leaders to outreach within their community. Your support goes to help at risk families, build and maintain children’s homes, pastor training, and more. Together, we can accomplish our mission and make a powerful impact on many lives.
“Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which He has given you.” –Deuteronomy 16:17 (NKJV)
Most immediate giving needs 2011:
Family Sponsorship- Sponsor an at risk family by joining our Uplift a Family program. $50 a month can help make a broken family “whole” again. Click here to find out how it works.
Pastor Training- Pastor training is desperately needed throughout Rwanda. Often the only qualifications required of a pastor is that they have a Bible and can read it. Click here to find out more.
Pig Farm- CALM is working with families in a remote village to start a pig farm. The goal of this partnership is to empower people to self-sufficiency. Pigs multiply quickly, provide meat and can bring a good price when sold at local markets. The revenue will be used to grow the farm and provide the families in the village with the basic needs they would not otherwise have. It takes at least 15 pigs to start a farm at a cost of $100 per pig. Click below to make a donation.
