Ambassadors International Ministries

5 reasons why Ambassadors needs to be engaged in rescuing the children:

Reach - Faith-based organizations (FBO’s) have a very broad presence. FBO’s operate between 40-50% of all the health care and educational facilities on the continent of Africa. The World Bank estimates they have the capacity to reach 95% of the poor, when facilitated to do so.

Call - As a part of practicing their faith, most people in religious communities are called to serve and care for their neighbors or other people in need. This mandate of faith is an important and sustaining motivation factor in the prevention and care for those living with HIV/AIDS.

Sustainability - Long after government programs have finished or non-government organizations (NGO’s) have left the arena, faith institutions remain and are a permanent part of the foundation of local communities and societies at large.

Moral Voice - Because HIV is primarily contracted through sex, addressing sexual behaviors is one of the most important parts of prevention. Faith institutions speak to the deepest human values and beliefs, and are thus best positioned to speak with authority to the intimate practices of individuals and communities.

Hope - Faith-based organizations address issues of the spirit, which is at the core of nurturing and restoring hope for those living with HIV/AIDS, and those who have been orphaned by it. In AIMI’s experience in the field, those who have hope are the best advocates for prevention.

The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. May He be honored, His kingdom furthered and His will be done on earth. Find out how you can help.

As a brief summary of the blessings of the Lord on The Pines Christian Care Centre, we would like to say that when we are working so hard on developing The Pines, we tend to forget how tremendous this gift of property is for the work of the Lord through Ambassadors. If the Lord had not given us this property, there would be no Pines Christian Care Centre, there would be no missionaries working at The Pines and there would be no hope of helping the children through The Pines. It is amazing when we look at the property and realize that it was only in June 2005 that the Lord gifted Ambassadors with The Pines. When putting a team together to work with such a ministry, one must be sure to place the right people in the right spots. It is such a blessing when one sees a natural fit in ministry and I can say that about the missionaries and the teams that have served at The Pines.

Together we can make a difference and we will make a difference by God’s grace. What we do, we do for His glory alone. As long as we keep our eye on that target we will end up pleasing the Lord. As Pastor David Seefried would say, “to Him belongs the glory.”

We are pleased that more people have committed to AIMI’s “Support the Orphans” program. We are looking for more supporters for some new children who have come under the care of Ambassadors through The Pines Christian Care Centre. Donors receive an update from The Pines on the child’s progress and prayer needs. In return, we ask that donors please pray that your child will grow in understanding Jesus in a personal way. Can you help in this endeavor? The Lord will reward you greatly for helping a child who has little in this world and who often has no hope. Join the others in supporting an orphan.
