A third of those living in the world today (over 7,000 people groups) have not heard the gospel in a way that they can understand. Because of this, Jesus is not being worshipped by every tongue, language, tribe, and nation. Many of these people groups live in the Horn of Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East. Since the beginning of Horn of Africa in 2002, workers have been using the disciple-making movement (DMM) strategy to see disciples who make disciples, churches that plant churches, and movements that birth movements. "Horn of Africa" has helped to pioneer the beginning of movements that enable people in distant places to hear about the love of Christ. (hornofafrica.org)

illuminAid is fighting world poverty with video. Our planet’s most forgotten communities don’t have regular access to essential information related to subjects such as disease prevention, health and hygiene, or gender-based violence prevention. illuminAid trains and equips local educators and community workers to first create instructional videos and then share their life-saving information with the world’s most remote villages, using solar and battery-powered technology.

New Life Homes began in response to the HIV/AIDS crisis and provide loving homes for 40 orphans, a preschool-7th-grade school and a 195-acre vegetable/animal farm for their food security and income generation.

World Relief is a global Christian humanitarian organization whose mission is to empower the local church to serve the most vulnerable.  World Relief Sacramento helps newly arrived refugees and immigrants in the Sacramento area by providing essential resources, employment services, housing assistance, and help with cultural adjustment. We collaborate with churches and community organizations to holistically provide key assistance such as housing, food, clothing, childcare, transportation, and more to our newest neighbors. These partnerships serve as a means for churches to fulfill the Great Commission while empowering refugees and immigrants to not only thrive but also achieve self-sufficiency in their new communities.

Refugees and immigrants encounter various challenges when integrating into their new communities, with employment and housing standing out as two of the most crucial. These challenges often overlap, as stable housing is essential for job opportunities, and employment is vital for housing security. Additionally, language, culture, and qualifications contribute to these difficulties, highlighting the importance of community support and comprehensive assistance. California's housing crisis exacerbates these challenges due to a shortage of affordable housing, rising housing costs, and homelessness. These factors, echoing the biblical directive to "love your neighbor as yourself" (Mark 12:31), emphasize the importance of assisting refugees and immigrants as they rebuild their lives in our communities. Refugees and immigrants need immediate short-term housing assistance to ensure safe and stable housing as they strive to secure employment and achieve self-sufficiency. (worldrelief.org)
