World Missions Ministries Announces 2024 Antioch Grant Awards<\/h1>\n

- World Missions Ministries Communications Office<\/em><\/p>\n

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. \u00ad\u00ad\u2014 World Missions Ministries (WMM) has awarded eight Antioch Grants for 2024 totaling over $668,000.<\/p>\n

The 2024 Antioch Grants are not only significant as a record amount given to these projects, but, for the first time in WMM history, all Antioch Grant requests brought before the WMM Council were approved.<\/p>\n

Council member Dr. Barbara Carter describes the moment of the Grants\u2019 approval by saying, \u201cA holy hush came over us as we pondered the great mercy and faithfulness of God. It was the first time every request for an Antioch Grant would be fulfilled. We put business aside, bowed our heads, and took several minutes to spontaneously thank God for His goodness.\u201d<\/p>\n

The eight awards are being allocated as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Bujumbura, Burundi:<\/strong> $10,000 was awarded for a church building.<\/li>\n
  2. Puerto Maldonado, Peru: <\/strong>$50,938.89 was awarded to a church building and future missions institute.<\/li>\n
  3. Dodoma, Tanzania:<\/strong> $61,600 was awarded for a church project.<\/li>\n
  4. Romania:<\/strong> $68,000 was awarded for a kindergarten\/daycare and dental office.<\/li>\n
  5. New Assiut, Egypt:<\/strong> $75,000 was awarded for the New Assiut Gospel Preaching IPHC Headquarters.<\/li>\n
  6. Phetchabun, Thailand:<\/strong> $100,000 was awarded for a Hope Center in Thailand.<\/li>\n
  7. Ratchaburi, Thailand:<\/strong> $103,000 was awarded for a church-based training center.<\/li>\n
  8. Lahore-Punjab, Pakistan:<\/strong> $200,000 was awarded for the Pakistan IPHC Regional Ministry Centre.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In 2014 WMM began strategically reprioritizing Antioch Grants as part of its departmental budget and Global Outreach (GO) emphasis. Executive Director Bishop J. Talmadge Gardner wrote of the grants\u2019 historical impact on the recipients saying, \u201cTo date, the response from our donors has been positive in that they are able to see their ministry resources leaving an indelible imprint on the fabric of a country.\u201d<\/p>\n

    This year, World Missions Ministries recognizes the generosity of our IPHC churches throughout who gave to the Global Outreach Offering and made it possible to fund all 2024 Antioch Grant requests. Additionally, Tim Case Ministries committed $194,000 to be allocated by World Missions, and Hope Center Ministries contributed $25,000 to partner in the Hope Center Thailand project.<\/p>\n

      \r\n\r\n\u00a1Saludos desde Jap\u00f3n!<\/strong>\r\n

      SEMBRANDO Y CEGANDO EN CAMBOYA<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\nCamboya se encuentra entre los pa\u00edses m\u00e1s pobres de Asia, tanto material como espiritualmente. Han pasado cuarenta a\u00f1os desde que Pol Pot y su Khmer Rouge mataron a m\u00e1s de dos millones de personas en un intento de establecer una utop\u00eda agraria comunista, pero el legado de esos a\u00f1os del holocausto todav\u00eda se puede observar en una grave falta de infraestructura, educaci\u00f3n, oportunidades y esperanza. Menos del 1% de los camboyanos conocen a Jesucristo como Se\u00f1or y Salvador.\r\n\r\nEn septiembre, Russell ayud\u00f3 a organizar y dirigir un equipo de ministerio a Camboya para realizar una serie de cl\u00ednicas m\u00e9dicas en varias aldeas. Los miembros del equipo proced\u00edan de Carolina del Norte, Carolina del Sur, Georgia, Jap\u00f3n y Filipinas.\r\n\r\nLas condiciones eran a menudo r\u00fasticas ya que llev\u00e1bamos a cabo cl\u00ednicas en las iglesias de las aldeas. En un lugar, los funcionarios locales nos obligaron a cerrar. El gobierno budista autoritario vigila de cerca y en ocasiones restringe las actividades de los cristianos.\r\n\r\nEn otras aldeas, las autoridades enviaron polic\u00edas y m\u00e9dicos locales para observarnos, pero estos se fueron impresionados por la experiencia y la amabilidad de nuestro equipo. \u00a1Incluso se unieron al trabajo y nos invitaron a volver!\r\n\r\nLas madres j\u00f3venes estaban agradecidas de recibir vitaminas y medicamentos para las enfermedades de sus hijos, mientras que los ancianos estaban encantados de recibir anteojos para leer. Adem\u00e1s de ofrecer atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica b\u00e1sica y palabras de esperanza y aliento, los miembros del equipo tambi\u00e9n oraron por los pacientes que buscaron su ayuda. \u00a1La oraci\u00f3n es la mejor medicina de todas!\r\n\r\nJunto con el personal m\u00e9dico, tuvimos la bendici\u00f3n de tener un contingente de j\u00f3venes sobresalientes para ministrar a los ni\u00f1os en cada lugar. \u00a1Estamos orgullosos de decir que nuestro nieto Alex fue parte de este din\u00e1mico equipo!\r\n\r\nLos ni\u00f1os disfrutaron jugando juegos al aire libre, haciendo manualidades, escuchando historias b\u00edblicas, aprendiendo canciones del evangelio y \u00a1simplemente divirti\u00e9ndose! Lo mejor de todo es que los ni\u00f1os aprendieron a orarle a Jes\u00fas y tuvieron la oportunidad de ofrecerle sus vidas.\r\n\r\nEn a\u00f1os pasados, hemos invertido tiempo, esfuerzo y financiamiento en viajes similares, ayudando a trabajos pioneros y cavando pozos para aldeas. En este viaje, nos complaci\u00f3 especialmente ver el fruto de estas inversiones en la forma de florecer nuevas iglesias.\r\n

      PUNTOS PARA LA ORACI\u00d3N<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\u2022 Ore para que las iglesias en Camboya no sean oprimidas y restringidas en sus actividades, sino que tengan libertad para adorar y difundir el evangelio.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Nuestras iglesias est\u00e1n ayudando a los j\u00f3venes en sus comunidades al ense\u00f1ar ingl\u00e9s y ofrecer capacitaci\u00f3n en computaci\u00f3n. Ore para que los j\u00f3venes est\u00e9n equipados para servir al Se\u00f1or y traer prosperidad a su naci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Ore por el misionero que lidera nuestro trabajo en Camboya, el Rev. Merlen Lamanilao de Filipinas. Ore por su apoyo financiero y por su hija adolescente que pronto se graduar\u00e1 de la escuela secundaria.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Ore por los pr\u00f3ximos viajes a Tailandia y Nepal, por viajes seguros y un ministerio eficaz.\r\n\r\n\u2022 Nuestro apoyo financiero ha disminuido, lo que ha obstaculizado nuestra capacidad para viajar y ministrar. Ore para que nuestro apoyo aumente y considere ayudar a responder a esa oraci\u00f3n.\r\n\r\n\u00a1Gracias por su colaboraci\u00f3n en el evangelio!\r\n\r\nRussell y Sandra Board<\/strong><\/em><\/span>\r\n\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>","author_name":"WMM Communications Office","jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/03\/2024-Antioch-Grants.png","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb62Ar-1yD","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/38"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5991"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5991\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/5992"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5991"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/iphc.org\/missions\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
