Did you know Giving Tuesday was moved to today in response to COVID-19? In honor of the new Giving Tuesday, we’d like to highlight the ways you can get involved with what God is doing all over the world. Currently, Adventures in Missions supports local missionaries in countries across the globe through our strategic ministry partners as well as our international bases. Together, we’re trying to lessen the burden on struggling families brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic and spread the love of Jesus through food distribution, community development, and discipleship.

How are You Reaching out this Giving Tuesday?
Essentials for Families in Guatemala
In the villages around our base in Guatemala, many of the families of children our staff have been discipling already live on day-to-day income. During the lockdowns caused by COVID-19, more and more people are losing work and are left unable to provide for the daily needs of their families.
God is leading some members of our staff to provide food and supplies for the families of these children. Last week, we were able to start delivering food, visiting with the families, and praying with families in the village, but there are many more who need our help.
With your support, we can deliver this food as well as other vital supplies and continue building relationships with more of these children and their families.
$20 can provide essentials for a family for one week.
Will you join us in reaching 400 families with a week of essential supplies?
Postage for Prison Bible Studies During Social Distancing
Help us continue prison ministry in the midst of the Coronavirus.
There are 2.2 million people incarcerated in the United States.
Due to the barriers in social distancing and the hygiene practices necessary for prevention of COVID19, many prison facilities have instituted full lockdowns as preventative measures, confining inmates to five-by-nine-foot rooms or crowded dormitories. Facilities in New York City and Chicago, as well as in Michigan, have seen explosive infection rates.
As prisons have been shut down and closed to volunteers and visitors, many of them are living in increased fear and loneliness.
We, as the Church, have an incredible opportunity to share the Love that casts out fear in a tangible way.
World Race alum, Paige Deur, is continuing to send hope to prisoners with Crossroads Prison Ministries, which is committed to providing people in prison with correspondence Bible lessons and letters from caring mentors. We are partnering with her and her ministry by helping cover the cost of postage for these lessons going between the students in the prison and their mentors.
The postage for each lesson is about $1.50.
Each week approximately 2,500 lessons are reviewed by a mentor which totals to $3,750 in postage.
A $15 donation would allow 10 men and women to receive a Bible study and letter of encouragement through Crossroads.
Will you help us share the hope and love of Christ in this way?
Food for Families in Cambodia
So many Cambodians are out of work because of the impacts of the Coronavirus. The tourism and hospitality industry have come to a complete halt, and this work provides the household income for a great majority of Cambodian families in our area.
Schools have been closed for over a month. And most people we have talked to have been out of work for longer than that.
The people here in our community live day-to-day and have no savings to rely on. God is leading our Cambodia base team to provide relief in the way of food staples.
We are putting together “family food packs” of staples that should sustain a family of four for about one month. We are distributing these packs through local ministry partners who know where the greatest needs are in their communities—many of them are able to reach families in great need living in villages far outside the city.
Hunger Relief in South Asia Due to COVID-19 Lockdown
A country we do ministry in, in South Asia has been under a strict lockdown, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. People who were already in extreme poverty are now facing the hopelessness of losing what little income they had and many are going without food.
Our missionaries there are in a unique position to help the most vulnerable of the rural villages through our network of National Missionaries that we have strong existing relationships with.
For every $500 donated, we can distribute rice to 70 families in a village.
We will start with the five villages of greatest need and continue to expand from there.
We can do this all while keeping social distancing rules, since we already have at least one National Missionary in each of these villages who is familiar with the poor communities and families.
Please join us in uniting the global Church to meet the needs of the poorest of the poor in their time of crisis!
Refuge for marginalized women During COVID-19
Response to COVID-19 in Thailand has not only caused many avenues of our own ministry and vocational growth to come to a halt, but has also created an incredible opportunity to reach the community in the wake of the current restrictions.
Many of the women we reach are in desperation to survive or provide for their families back home. As all the bars, clubs, and massage parlours also remain closed, we are reaching out to offer relief to women in these exploitative situations by providing food, housing, and vocational training opportunities.
We are reaching out to women we are already in contact with and partnered organizations who can best identify those who need the most help.
We are already providing meals and hope to expand to housing provisions. It is heartbreaking to hear stories of desperation of women risking their lives as they place themselves in even more dangerous, exploitative situations.
