Canadian Baptist Ministries Matching Grant

Help Change a Life!

We want to thank everyone who has so generously supported the work of The Sharing Way. Through your help, we have seen such incredible transformation taking place in the lives of children and vulnerable families. We want to let you know about a "special matching appeal" that can have a huge impact here in Kenya especially in the ministry of the Guardians of Hope and Children of Hope programs. Below is a short excerpt from the CBM website. To learn more or to participate in this opportunity, please click on the link below:

"Thank you for your generous support of The Sharing Way. Because of you, we have fed the hungry, helped families increase their income through small business loans, taught women how to read, given orphans the opportunity to be educated and trained subsistence farmers in ways to increase their production.

Our annual matching grant opportunity through Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) has consistently allowed The Sharing Way to start each new year with a dependable source of funding for crucial development programs. However, I need to inform you of some changes to this year’s matching grant appeal.

Due to the generous support we have received in past years, funding is already in place for our CIDA-approved projects for 2011. However, we must urgently deal with the reality that we have other crucial projects that desperately require funding – projects that are not eligible for CIDA funding.

Our greatest needs in The Sharing Way for the next several years include funding to:

• Assist vulnerable children
• Support people widowed or orphaned by HIV & AIDS
• Help hungry and malnourished families increase their food supply

The good news is that we have been given an incredible opportunity to receive matching funds to help support these programs.

Recently, a few generous donors of The Sharing Way personally committed to matching all the funding we receive through this appeal, until April 30, 2011. They have pledged to match every dollar we receive, so that your gift will continue to multiply in impact!

Please consider generously supporting The Sharing Way through this appeal and taking advantage of this wonderful matching grant opportunity. Your gift will help transform the lives of countless men, women and children in need around the world."

Erica and Mary Doerksen

We just completed a few great weeks with the Doerksen family who have been serving with us in Eastleigh. We are thankful for the way that they have embraced the Iftin families and been such a source of encouragement for us and our team here.

Today we joined the leadership of the Africa Brotherhood Church, as we interviewed candidates for the ABC Guardian's program officer. Please pray for us as we work together in strengthening this program with our partners.
