Christians in Pakistan are in great need!
Christians in Pakistan are currently going through a very difficult period; the news coming out of Pakistan is worrying as a result of amongst other things, political unrest. Many Christian families and communities face severe hunger and often fear brutality from opponents, who view them as second class citizens. Fear surrounds Christian communities after the crazy actions of the Floridian pastor, who burned the Koran, resulting in some very severe actions from extremists against Christians.
Mission International supports needy children and families in Pakistan and we would like to help our friends get through this particularly tough period.
If you are able to help us support then please send your support to:

Haiti is still reeling from the huge earthquake over a year ago in the capital Port-au-Prince. News and documentary reports reveal a country on its knees due to poverty and corruption.

News of progress on the clinic in Ghana!
Pastor Peter Awane of FILA in Ghana has just sent these pictures of the new medical centre which is being built in N E Ghana as a result of sponsorship via Mission International. Good progress is now being made with this project. Pastor Peter expresses his thanks and that of the whole community in Zuarungu, Bolgatanga as they excitedly watch the speedy progress of their new facility. Medical facilities are poor in the area and those that do exist are too expensive for the major part of the community. Mission International's partnership with FILA intends to make affordable medical care available in this area.The project still has a way to go before it is complete. The building work has to be completed, the fitting out of the centre and then stocking it with necessary medicines all still have to take place. Pastor Peter says that there are a large number of retired medical staff in the area who are willing to get involved in the initial stages to see the project off to a positive start. if you would like to support this project please visit our Make A Donation page.

A message of thanks from the Maasai Mara!
Pastor Tom Opiyo serves amongst the Maasai people near Narok town in Kenya's Maasai Mara and is a Mission International partner. He has recently returned from Olooltoto, a Maasai village where Mission International installed 2x10,000 litre water tanks during July 2010, with this message "Greetings in Christ. I have just come from the Olooltoto Church. The place is very dry and water is in crisis. I have just delivered 14,000 litres of water to the tanks there right now. God bless you and we thank you for the tanks. This water project is real and very helpful at the heart of the need in this community. Greet the family and saints Pastor Tom"
