Offering Project (2007-2008)
Providing Hope to the Hopeless
Bongolo Hospital, Gabon, West Africa
This year’s Children’s Missons Project is the same one as for C&MA adults. Our hope is that families can give together to this project because it affects all ages—adults and children. Every week, AIDS patients die at Bongolo Hospital, and more than 200 people with the virus are treated as outpatients. The disease has touched most families in this West African country. Many children are left orphaned. The needs are staggering.
The Alliance and CAMA (Compassion and Mercy Associates) are in the midst of this crisis, providing medical help and education. Dr. David Thompson, an Alliance missionary doctor, is ministering to men and women affected by the AIDS virus. Dr. Deborah Walker is a pediatrician at the hospital who works mostly with the children and mothers. They and other Alliance workers are offering hope and help to people in need—people without hope, people without Christ.

Offering Activity Idea
Teachers/Parents: Give each child a mini M&M candy tube (found in most grocery stores) or ask them to bring their own empty tube from home. Children can color the specially prepared labels and tape them around the tubes to create their own coin bank. This coin bank can then be filled with quarters to support the ministry of Dr. Thompson and the CAMA workers to AIDS patients.

Please collect the quarters from the children’s coin banks and write one check for the amount and make it payable to The Christian and Missionary Alliance. Indicate “Providing Hope the Hopeless” in the memo line and send your donations to:
