  1. $2.2 million spent. VisionFor years, helping countries in need has been driven by a model based on charity aid assistance - giving handouts to the needy. But this kind of aid creates a dependency that cripples people. NEW COVENANT MISSIONS [NCM] brings a new and invigorating model to missions: helping people to become self-sufficientStrategyNCM's strategy is to implement the principles of a "business as missions organization. It focuses on partnering with people in developing nations to instill sustainable business practices while meeting the core needs of individuals and their communities. To enable the people of Ethiopia to be self-sufficient in all areas of their lives, NCF has created seven unique Initiatives: * Church Planting, Health Care, Education and Personal Assistance Initiatives all help foster "Community Development". * The Finance, Innovation, and Marketing initiatives all help promote "Economic DevelopmentMissionThe mission of the New Covenant Missions is to: * Proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ * Break the bonds of dependency on foreign aid by empowering individuals and communities to be self-sufficient Create a mutual partnership with people that enable long-term sustainability of their economy, their environment, and their community.Primary Focus1) Church Planting: The focus of New Covenant Foundation is to reach people for Jesus Christ.
