Programs described in its return (1)
- $178,118 spent. SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED OUR ELEVENTH YEAR IN CAPE VERDE, TRAINING LOCALS TO PLANT CHURCHES AND BUILD EVANGELICAL INFRASTRUCTURE (THE LOCAL CHURCH), MEETING THE NEEDS OF LOCALS THROUGH FOOD BANKS, BASIC MEDICAL NEEDS, EDUCATING THEM IN FARMING AND OCCUPATIONAL TRAINING TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES. GOSPEL WORK HAS MOVED TO THREE OF THE OTHER ISLANDS OF THE TEN INHABITABLE ONES: FOGO, BOA VISTA AND SAL. FURTHERMORE, SINCE CAPE VERDE HAS DIRECT TRADE AND CULTURAL EXCHANGE WITH THE NATION OF GUINEA BISSAU AND BRAZIL, THE EFFECTS OF OUR WORK AMONG CAPE VERDIANS IS NOW INFLUENCING PORTIONS OF THESE NATIONS TOO, WHICH HAVE LED US TO BEGIN WORK IN THOSE AREAS TOO. WE CONTINUE OUR EXIT STRATEGY IN CAPE VERDE, WHICH MEANS WE WILL REDUCE OUR TIME THERE AND BEGIN INVESTING OURSELVES IN NEW AREAS OF WEST AFRICA AND EVEN EUROPE, NAMELY PORTUGAL. CHURCH PLANTS HAVE REACHED WELL OVER 50 NOW AND LOCAL WORKERS ARE IN ABUNDANCE. OUR ROLE IS RESOURCING THE LOCAL WORKERS. FOR THE NEXT YEAR, WE WILL CONTINUE TO RESOURCE CAPE VERDE LEADERSHIP, INVESTING IN THE LOCAL WORKERS, SUPPLYING BIBLES AND TRAINING MATERIALS, HOUSING AND TRAVEL NEEDS AS THE WORK CONTINUES TO MOVE FROM THE MAIN ISLAND OF SANTIAGO TO OTHER ISLANDS AND NATIONS IN WEST AFRICA. WE WILL ESTABLISH A "HUB" IN PORTUGAL SINCE IT IS CENTRAL AND VERY GOOD "GATEWAY" LOCATION TO TRAVEL TO WEST AFRICA AND ALSO BEGIN WORK AMONG THE LOCALS IN PORTUGAL.
