Programs described in its return (3)
  1. $30,619 spent. Romanian Missions Outreach. We supported one family (2 adults, 7 children) as full-time missionaries to villages in the Hunedoara County Region of Romania.

  2. $30,618 spent. Missions Chapel and Food Distribution Center. Completed construction of a Chapel used for Children's and Adult ministry events and community outreach events. Also, purchased farming equipment and finished construction of a food disribution center to facilitate a feeding and food distribution program to support the villages in the Hunedoara County region of Romania. This years community outreach program included the drilling of a new well to replace the main ministry water source that dried up.
  3. $56,384 spent. Post-COVID Resumption of Summer Camp at Camp Lee in Anniston, AL. We had 80 campers and volunteers to attend camp in July of 2024. This was our third camp since 2019 due to the COVID pandemic. We also loaned equipment to another Romanian group starting a summer camp. This group was a part of Camp Open Heaven for many years. We wish them much success and encourage their work as partners in the same goal to proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ!
