Our Needs

A previous blog gave a brief explanation of support raising.  Now we will go into more detail about our role while serving in Nairobi, our need to get to Kenya, and ways you can be a part of this with us. 

OUR ROLE

Click the link above to get a more detailed idea of what we will be doing while in Nairobi. 

Alicia will be working directly within the child sponsorship program, Hope Partnership.  She will also be able to use her skills as a social worker to provide counseling and other related services to children and their familes.

Tim will be using his ministry skills to incorporate evangelism and discipleship into the microfinance program. He will also be focusing on spiritual development while working alongside local pastors serving at Missions of Hope’s several churches.

We have made an initial 5 -year commitment to serve with CMF in Nairobi.  At the conclusion of this term, we will evaluate to determine if we will remain in Nairobi or serve in another way.

OUR NEED

We are certain God is going to use us in some incredible ways, but we need your partnership to make this possible.  One way would be financially.  We need people to partner will us monthly.  Our monthly budget is $7637. We have currently raised 71% of this budget.  Our remaining balance is $2300 per month!   This number includes housing, ministry and outreach funds, transportation, health insurance and salary.  We are seeking individuals who are willing to include this ministry into their monthly budget.  No amount is too small, or too great!  Without monthly supporters, we cannot sustain our ministry in Nairobi.  This partnership is not only a vital one, but is currently our biggest need.

We are also seeking people who are willing to partner with us through special gifts.  We have a
one-time outgoing budget of $37,364. We currently have 46% of this budget raised.
Our remaining balance is $20,000.  This figure includes training, airline tickets, purchasing of a vehicle and necessary household items.  These gifts are no less important and must also be received in order to depart for the field.

HOW YOU CAN PLAY A ROLE

Obviously, financial support is critical for us.  If you want to partner with us financially, we have several ways you can do that:

You can give online by going to:  https://p2p.paperlesstrans.com/default.aspx?i=cmfms&c3=STEWART+Tim+and+Alicia&c4=400100 

 This will allow you to securely give a special gift or a recurring transaction. 

Or if you prefer non-online giving, please email us at thestewarts08@gmail.com and provide us with your mailing address and we will send you all necessary info.

ALL GIFTS ARE TAX-DEDUCTIBLE.

Another way you can partner with us is through prayer.  We are seeking individuals, families, small groups, etc. to commit to praying for us one day per week. We will commit to praying for you on that day as well.  We will regularly update our prayers needs and would love for you to do the same. 
To partner with us in this way, please email us at thestewarts08@gmail.com.

We have also been giving presentations talking about our call to missions and explaining in more depth our roles while in Nairobi.  If you would like to attend one of these informal meetings, please email us and we will make sure you are invited to one of these presentations.

We recognize we are fully dependent upon God and upon others to return to Nairobi to serve the poor.  Without financial support, we cannot go to the field.  Without the prayers and encouragement of others believers, we cannot effectively minister to those in need.  We are so exited about what God is doing in our lives, and we are exited about the many ways that you make it possible.

Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.
