Program accomplishments
- SOUTHEAST ASIA: Our partnership in the hilltribes of Northern Thailand as well as throughout numerous regions in Myanmar, continue to be led by our partners, Jonathan & Nangsar Morse - US Citizens living & serving abroad. The work in Thailand continues, including the operation of schools, clean water projects, the planting of mango trees & various vegetable crops to allow villages to generate a sustainable income. Medical clinic continue to be operated, now in partnership with the Thai government. They continue to operate several children's dormitories where they educate & shelter vulnerable orphans (many from Myanmar) as well as other at risk children who wouldn't have an opportunity for an education without their intervention. In Myanmar the ongoing civil war still prevents workers from entering the country, while every effort is made to get financial gifts to the pastors & other workers in various regions. The churches planted to date have stepped up to care for the sick, still running the Bethseda House of Mercy Health Care Clinic established in Myitkyina, in the Kachin State. Makeshift villages are being created to provide housing for people displaced by the war. And translation projects are in process, translating bibles & textbooks into a number of dialects spoken by various ethnic groups throughout the country, predominantly Karen, Kachin, Mon & Chin.Expenses $469,014 · grants $468,588 · revenue $618
- GlobalTREK: A small team is preparing to travel to Chiang Mai, Thialand to begin the survey work & organization of a project that will take place in the summer of 2025, serving predominantly in three hilltribe villages, as well as contributions to the EDEN Leadership Training School. The trip originally planned for Kenya in the summer of 2024 had to be postponed due to the political climate in the region where we planned to work - the Mathare Valley Slums of Nairobi. The majority of the team originally preparing to serve in Kenya will transition to serve in Thailand in 2025. We will also continue recruiting individuals to serve with that team as we anticipate having need of construction workers, teacheres & other youth workers and perhaps medical personnel. We will also be raising financial support and take advantage of the afforded time to update & modify our training materials.Expenses $14,950 · revenue -$14,950
