We are writing to you today with both urgency and hope.
We’re facing a year-end budget deficit of $96,000 that could impact our ability to continue training village pastors across Kenya, South Africa, and South America.
But here’s the hope: some faithful supporters have already stepped forward with lead gifts of $42,000, believing deeply in the importance of Biblical training in Kenya. This puts us at close to 43% of our goal!
We need to raise the remaining $54,000 by December 31st to ensure we can continue this vital work without interruption.
You might be wondering, “Why is this so urgent?”
Right now, pastors are waiting for the training they desperately need. Many lead congregations without any formal biblical education, struggling to effectively shepherd their flocks. Also, many children at Word Academy and orphanage depend on us.
This year alone, we’ve seen the transformative impact of the EmPowered Living giving community:
320 village pastors from 50 churches received sound biblical training
Over 6,000 believers were impacted by their equipped leaders
6,400 meals were provided to pastors during their training
21 students graduated, ready to transform their communities
Your year-end gift will help us:
Continue equipping village pastors across Kenya
Launch new training initiatives in South Africa
Establish our first programs in South America
Feed and educate children at Word Academy and orphanage
If we don’t provide for these leaders and children, they will continue to switch their allegiance to other faiths, not know how to defend truth, remain insecure and have domineering leadership styles. They will struggle with knowing the difference between truth that liberates and error that enslaves. And many children will not get the food and education they need.
We don’t want this and neither do you.
To accomplish our goal of $96,000 we will need some of the following gifts:
· Many gifts of $25, $50, $100
· Thirty gifts of $300
· Twenty gifts of $600
· Six gifts of $1,200
· Three gifts of $2,000
· One gift of $8,000
· One gift of $10,000
Your gift today will ensure that they:
Remain committed to the historic orthodox Christian faith
Will know how to effectively share and defend their faith
Will be secure in their identity in Christ as they lead, preach and live as servant leaders
Lead powerfully growing churches that significantly impact their village, city and nation.
Making your gift is easy:
We’re grateful for friends like you who understand the importance of equipping pastors with sound biblical training and feeding and educating children. Will you help us close this gap and ensure we can continue this vital work in 2025?
With grateful hearts,
Dr. Daniel & Mary Beth Gilbert
