How Can I Help?

JesusIsTheWay@ChileMission.org

You can support us in several ways ...

Some people feel that because God is God, prayer is unnecessary. While it is true that God indeed has complete power and control over all things, it was He himself who initiated prayer as an indispensable part of relationship with Him. The Old Testament is full of examples of earnest, answered prayers. Jesus, God’s own Son - fully God sent to earth in human form - modeled prayer, taught prayer and drew the strength and response from His Father that He needed to complete His task through prayer. It has been the same for all following in his footsteps ever since. God invites and answers the prayers of his children!
 

God’s Word, together with prayer, are the most potent weapons we have in carrying out the Lord’s work in and through us in Chile. We earnestly seek faithful prayer partners/warriors.

We are accountable in all things to Deer Creek Christian Church and to our other supporting churches. This is especially true of the administration of support funds and financial resources that God has put at our disposal.

One-Time Or Periodic Support

Several individuals support our ministry financially in this way, committing a portion of a yearly bonus or tax return to us. Others prefer to give on an annual one-time basis as the best giving alternative for them. We thank everyone of you who have helped to support us financially in this way.

Regular Support

A form of assistance that we seek, need and are grateful for is that of regular financial support from both churches and individuals. We have been very blessed to receive steady monthly financial support all along. We know that this is God’s provision and a result of His hand and we thus give Him thanks for all such support.

Special Estate Gifts and Trusts

We have been very blessed to receive one such gift in recent years, which we were able to use to purchase our present neighborhood ministry site, in addition to using it for development and construction.
 

We have a information booth and display every year at the National Missionary Convention of the Christian Churches/Churches of Christ. At our booth, we represent and answer questions about our ministry and have up-to-date information and handouts pertaining to all phases of our ministry as well, including on the internship experiences we offer yearly. We regularly participate by speaking at workshop presentations at the convention.

CLICK HERE for more information on the National Missionary Convention (http://www.NationalMissionaryConvention.org).

We also sell "marble people" figures and sets at the convention - extremely popular and sought after. They include a complete crèche set (nativity scene), Noah’s ark (with the animals of your choice), a “Children around the World” set (with a globe and children of your choice), plus many, many more. All funds over and above the cost or procuring any and all items sold by our mission go directly back into the mission as additional means of supporting its work.

Since 1999, we have hosted internship experiences for two months or more for college-aged, Christian, young people. We see this experience as critically important for a variety of reasons, for those participating and for us, as well.

In addition, more and more individuals and supporting churches and youth groups are choosing Chile as a place to come to and see and contribute to "missions" first hand. The experience is always life-changing and perspective-broadening.
