Project Name: Citadel Community Center
CHALLENGE GOAL: $70,000
Location: Middle East
Imagine a young girl taking Communion for the very first time. She does so secretly because believers in this Middle Eastern country risk being arrested, ostracized, or even murdered for their faith. The constant threat of persecution deters many Christians from entering this hard place.
Last year, you launched a team of Alliance international workers into one of this country’s largest cities, home to some of the region’s least-reached peoples. This year, will you provide a community center for these workers to host English classes, conversational English practice sessions (“coffee nights”), and other gospel-advancing outreach events among their new neighbors?
The team’s goal is to establish locally led churches so people no longer need to practice their faith in isolation. By giving to this project now, you will not only build a community center—you will also open a new door for Alliance Missions advance.
