Hastings Church of the Nazarene in Barry County, Michigan, has become the county’s sole provider of English Language Learning classes. The rural church partnered with West Michigan Works to start classes and find students, many of whom work on local farms. Some of the first students are slated to become church members, and the church plans to offer Spanish-speaking membership classes.

Operation Blessing has deployed an International Disaster Relief team to Taiwan from its Philippines location to assess the needs of victims ravaged by a 7.4 magnitude earthquake last week that killed at least 12 people. Tens of thousands of households were without power following the quake, and Operation Blessing expects immediate needs to include food, water, and hygiene kits. After electricity is restored, the team plans to help clear debris and begin rebuilding. Operation Blessing has 5 stars and an “A” transparency grade in the MinistryWatch database, with a donor confidence score of 90.
A team from Bethany Church in Wyckoff, New Jersey, recently partnered with Builders International to repair a church in the Bahamas that was damaged by a hurricane. Builders International, an Assemblies of God ministry, partners with missionaries around the world on construction projects, such as schools, churches, orphanages, and safe houses, and has mobilized over 200 teams in the past three years and works in 39 countries, according to AG News.

In November, we reported that Mission Cry was shipping a container filled with instruments to music students in Liberia along with Bibles and other supplies to a nearby seminary. At that time, Mission Cry was still waiting for the stocked container to be sponsored and shipped. Now, according to Mission Network News, the container has been safely delivered. The music students even produced a video saying thank you.
