Christian
Mission Aid (CMA) was founded in 1986 as a non-denominational,
non-profit organization working on relief and development projects in Africa. Our main
office is located in Michigan, USA, with a Regional
Office in Nairobi Kenya. Our projects are focused in East African
countries, including Kenya, Uganda and Sudan. CMA’s primary focus is to help
others help themselves. We work in partnership with donors and
supporters, Christian Missions, Churches, and other non-governmental organizations (NGO’s).
Our goal is to provide assistance, training, and resources so that the people we serve can
continue along the path to self-sufficiency; and not to make others dependent on us.
Through
our more than 30 projects in Christian
Outreach, Aid and Relief, Children’s
Ministries, and Community Development,
we seek to live out our theme verse: "Therefore, as we
have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong
to the family of believers. " Galatians 6:10
We Are Reaching
Out to Thousands of Africans
CMA provides project support in very remote
areas, often forgotten because they are not accessible by conventional transportation. For
example, CMA provides the only Community Medical Clinics
in the war torn area of the Upper Nile in South Sudan. This area
is only
accessible by air or by foot. CMA’s Outreach Team regularly reaches into extremely rural areas of Kenya
that are
only accessible by four wheel drive vehicles and in many cases only by foot.
And
We Are Making A Difference In Many Lives
CMA’s ministries are making a major difference in the lives thousands of
Africans. We directly reach over 30,000 people
annually through CMA’s Christian Outreach programs and
thousands make commitments to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. So
far this year in war torn South
Sudan, over 250,000
Sudanese received medical care
through CMA’s Health Clinicsin the
Upper Nile area, and we
immunized more than 7,000 children against
diseases Through ourSTEP
Program we reached 35,000 people in training
sessions, and we planted 30,000 seedlings. An
estimated 30,000 people have been reached with
essential HIV/AIDS information by seminar participants with our CLEAR
Program.
CMA does indeed make a major
difference in lives of thousands. We
give all the glory to God for what He is doing through CMA, and are committed to
maintaining Christian integrity in all that we do.
Send
a child to a life-changing Youth Camp
Too young to understand his condition, little David goes about life like
any other 12-year-old boy. But there are times
when David gets very sick, and he doesn’t quite know why. David is HIV
positive and lives in one of the slums in Nairobi. A few years ago, his
poverty stricken family had rejected him and children in school would
neither sit nor play with him. David led a dejected and bitter life until
he discovered the love of Christ after attending a Youth Camp. Because of
David’s testimony, his HIV positive mother also accepted Christ as her
savior.Now David is a jovial
little boy, and though he still gets sick and faces occasional
stigmatization, he feels safe in his faith.
Many
other children in slum areas are leading miserable lives of poverty,
disease and hunger.A
one-week youth camp where their spiritual and physical needs are met
provides a great opportunity for a revolution in their lives and those of
their communities. Will you partner with us today to send children like
David and hundreds others to a life-transforming Youth Camp?
With
70% of HIV/AIDS deaths world wide taking place in sub-Saharan Africa, AIDS
remains a pandemic for countries like Kenya. Three children die every five
minutes in Kenya; hundreds orphaned every day.Through the CLEAR program, CMA is able to provide education,
counseling and home based care in Nyanza, the Kenyan province hardest hit
by HIV/AIDS.Education builds
the capacity of these communities to address the issues themselves.
Creation of awareness is an essential strategy and a gateway to care and
support for HIV/AIDS positive people. It also encourages behavioral
changes for those negative.Home
based care program gives much needed remedies to opportunistic infections.
Christian Mission Aid has also implemented a widows and orphan support
strategy, ‘units of hope’
that builds houses for HIV/AIDS widows and orphans.‘Units of hope’ has
literally changed the lives of individuals in Nyanza, click

of hope’, and how you can help.

Bring Your Old Bibles and a Donation Donate
your extra Bibles and study books.

Today! We are continuing to use the many Bibles we have
received though the number is now dwindling. This year again there
will be many training seminars and potentially two graduations where a
Bible would be of huge assistance for the newly trained leader. A Bible on the
shelf is of no use to anyone
People in the rural communities crave the Word of God and Bibles are too
costly for most. Some communities even share one church Bible among
hundreds! Join the team and help bring the Word of God!
Christian Mission Aid is organizing, through coordinators in the US, to
collect and transport to a warehouse for packaging and shipment to Kenya. Here is how you can help:
If
you are anywhere in the WORLD, make your financial donation on the ONLINE
DONATIONS Link. Please be sure to indicate the money is to be used
for BYOB&D.
Yes
it’s that simple!
Where does the Donation money go?
All
money donated to the BYOB&D will go towards purchase of vernacular
Bibles locally, shipping and distribution in East Africa
(Kenya/Sudan/Uganda). Any extra money will be used for bible study,
training and seminars in CMA’s Outreach programs.
The time is now to check your shelf,
drawers or bedside table. Church pew Bibles and/or songbooks are welcome,
big or small but in good shape please. We will get them to the people in
the rural communities where the need is greatest.
What
better way to share the Word of God then
through giving your own Bible to a brother or sister in Africa! Let’s
put our words into action and spread the gospel in this unique and
effective way.Read
