Blood for Missions
There has never been an easier way to mobilize your church or school community to provide life giving skills for people in East Africa! By hosting a blood drive, your church/school community can raise money for ELI without giving a single penny! That’s right, for every pint of blood donated, Blood for Missions will donate $20 to ELI.

Change for Life Involve those at your church or school to care for orphans and vulnerable children living in the slums of DR Congo. Through an innovative and participatory presentation, students of all ages learn about life in DR Congo through the eyes of one little girl named Ishara, and then are challenged to take action as a group to collect change to help students like her. For more information,click here.
Love in Action Do you desire your community to radically experience what sacrificial giving looks like? Bring Love in Action to your church, school, or small group by joining together in solidarity to live as the majority of the world lives, on a food budget of $2 a day. Through this two week challenge, your community will come together in a way it never has before. Click here to learn more of the details!
