Christmas is all about sharing. In fact, it all began with the Father sharing His love
for us by giving His one and only Son, Jesus. He was the first gift of hope—the
God of all creation wrapped in human flesh. Because God loved, He gave; and above all
else He gave us hope. Now we have the blessed privilege of sharing that hope by giving
in His name. Here are several ways to show your love for Jesus by showing love to
others. Make this a more meaningful Christmas by giving one of more of these Gifts of
Hope!
Spread the Message of Hope across Canada
We’ve launched the biggest, boldest venture in the 60-year history of
EHC/Canada—a campaign to reach millions of Canadians with the Gospel. Mission
33, an innovative strategy to present the Good News of Jesus to Canada’s 33
million people, is now underway in several provinces.
For just 50¢ per household we deliver a package that contains a compelling
presentation of the Gospel. But even at the low cost of 50¢ per home, the entire
strategy is going to cost about 6 million dollars to reach 12 million homes.
We would love to have some major grants for this unique project, but most of all
we’re counting on the generous support of EHC ministry partners. A gift of
$50 will reach 100 homes. $500 will reach 1,000. And $5,000 will
present the message of Christ’s hope to 10,000 homes.
We also face major needs in the administration and coordination of this massive effort,
so please consider a “Mission 33–Where Needed Most” gift as
well. Be a part of this historic campaign to reach Canada for Christ!
Sponsor a Needy Child in India
In India—a nation with literally millions of orphans and abandoned
children—EHC is establishing homes for these precious boys and girls. Loving
Christians are raising up these children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
A Christmas gift of $35 provides the full support for one child for one month. A
gift of $420 provides love and care for one child for an entire year. What a
difference you can make, because your gift to a needy child bring true, lasting hope.
Support a Pioneer Strategic Leader
Vision 2010 is a 7-year project to train and mobilize hundreds of workers to
reach every unreached people group in western Africa. The project was launched in Togo
and has spread to Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Cote d’Ivoire, Niger and Senegal.
In Togo, Vision 2010 has already resulted in over 5,000 new churches with more than
200,000 new believers.
Pioneer Strategic Leaders are the key to this remarkable initiative. These are
men who accept the challenge of establishing up to 280 churches and training up to 5,000
new believers. And they do this in just two years!
Amazingly, just $300 per month covers all the expenses for one Pioneer Strategic
Leader. The $300 pays for their lodging, family education, basic medical care, fuel and
transportation. Right now, support is urgently needed for 40 Pioneer Strategic
Leaders. They are ready and willing to reach Africa for Christ. Your gift of support
for one month, three months or an entire year will change lives and reap an ever-growing
harvest of souls.
Reach 5,000 People with the Good News of Jesus
Reach 5000 is EHC’s ongoing strategy to reach the unreached with the
life-transforming Good News of Jesus Christ. A gift of just $40 per month—
$480 for an entire year—enables us to reach and follow up the homes where
5,000 people live.
This outreach has a worldwide impact, touching lives in Latin America, Africa, South
Asia, East Asia, and Creative Access areas [nations where Christian ministry is
restricted]. Partners in the Reach 5000 strategy are making an impact that only
eternity will reveal.
All gifts postmarked by Dec. 31 will be credited as 2008 charitable
contributions. To make a gift via credit card, please call the EHC office at
