In Laos, ministry also takes place within a communist context where security concerns can affect local workers and their ability to travel for training. Cambodia and Laos will focus on developing biblically trained leaders, church multiplication and holistic community transformation, including training pastors and leaders and engaging communities through practical service and Gospel outreach. By investing in national leaders who understand their own language, culture and communities, this project will strengthen local ownership and equip churches and ministries to multiply their impact, serve their communities and develop sustainable Christian leadership for the future.

As the final step in developing the BA and MA Biblical Counseling degree programs and as the first cohort of students prepares to graduate, a practicum course is required for graduating students. The practicum will integrate everything the students have learned during their degree with internship style practical application by involving the students at all stages of the biblical counseling process.  A toolkit will also be developed to enable graduates to replicate and implement the French biblical counseling centre model in their own context. Ultimately, with more French-speaking biblical centres, francophone Canadians will have access to more and higher quality French-language biblical counselors to help them process life's challenges by leading struggling, hurting, sinning, and confused people to the hope, resources, strength, and life that are available only in Christ and by pointing people to transformative power of the Redeemer as the only hope to change people’s hearts.

The building requires significant renovations to safely accommodate up to 100 children each day. This project will complete urgent improvements to the centre, including expanding washroom capacity, constructing a secure lobby, repairing a severely deteriorated and leaking roof, creating a safe rooftop terrace and installing solar panels to reduce ongoing operating costs. By creating a safer, more functional and sustainable facility, the project will enable Tiempo de Paz to welcome more vulnerable children into a nurturing environment where they can learn, grow and build Christ-centred relationships—offering hope and an alternative to the violence, drug culture and organized crime surrounding their communities.

The goal is to dramatically increase agricultural productivity and revenue while reducing food and transportation costs. The project is designed to move the Thrive Vocational Center toward long-term self-sustainability: first producing nutritious food for the women it serves, then eliminating annual food costs, and ultimately generating sustainable farm income that can help support the vocational school and its wider programs. By strengthening local agricultural capacity and creating a sustainable source of food and income, Hope City Farm will help ensure that vulnerable young women receive not only immediate care and nourishment, but also education, opportunity and a pathway toward lasting independence.

This grant provides funds for a Project & Communication Manager to support the  Project 10:02 initiative to see Quebec become a nation that will no longer be considered missiologically unreached by doubling the number of French-speaking people involved in evangelical churches in the province. This position will play a pivotal role in leading and managing the administrative and organizational functions of the 10:02 initiative including communicating with donors, volunteers and church leaders, promoting key projects, fundraising, identifying opportunities and fostering collaboration within and outside the organization. Adding a dedicated Project and Communications Manager to the initiative will significantly increase the Mission Quebec's capacity to drive the movement forward through increased recruitment, successful integration and strategic deployment of missionaries and church planters throughout Quebec.

The hospital boat will be fully equipped with an operating room and consult rooms for ophthalmology and ambulatory services. This grant provides funds for the purchase of 3 pieces of medical equipment that will provide for necessary diagnostics and anesthesia to allow for service delivery to those accessing health care services on the new vessel. The boat is designed to endure the uniqueness of the Amazon River as well as handle extra cargo needed for specific times or emergency situations and for extended periods of time. The boat will be equipped with generators, solar power, and eco-friendly water treatment for both drinking water and wastewater to minimize the environmental impact of the vessel.

Pictured here: At the end of each day of medical care, the MMI team goes into the community to have fun with community members and share the Gospel with children and adults ensure they are cared for physically and spiritually.

ENT staff will be trained to use the equipment and integrate it into the boat’s surgical suite, strengthening local capacity for sustainable specialized care. Through this investment, MMI anticipates restoring hearing, improving learning and cognitive development for children, reducing isolation and decline among older adults as well as strengthening ENT services throughout the Amazon region. Importantly, this expansion of compassionate medical care will also create new opportunities for MMI to share the Gospel and demonstrate the love of Christ to individuals and families in some of the Amazon’s most difficult-to-reach communities.

Through this project, Empower International Academy will purchase a school van to provide reliable transportation for students and staff. The van will make participation in educational, extracurricular and community activities more accessible and affordable, while also supporting school operations and transportation needs. By removing a practical barrier to participation, this project will give students greater opportunities to learn, serve, build relationships and develop the skills and character needed to make a positive impact in their communities.

The retrofit includes replacing the existing cooling system as well as converting outdated pneumatic controls to modern electric building-automation controls. The upgraded controls will enable more efficient scheduling of individual zones and better management of heating, cooling and fresh-air intake based on actual building conditions. Together, these improvements will provide safe and effective cooling, reduce ongoing energy and operating costs, and strengthen the long-term affordability and sustainability of this important ministry facility, helping NorthWind continue providing a welcoming and comfortable place for community, connection, healing and discipleship.

Together with electrical upgrades already underway, these investments will provide more stable power, improve sterilization capacity and ensure continued access to appropriate anesthesia, enabling the surgical centre to use its operating rooms more efficiently and strengthening its capacity for future growth. By strengthening the infrastructure behind each surgery, this project will help O4A continue offering children the timely surgical care they need to heal, regain mobility and experience renewed hope for the future.

Pictured here: Each surgery and treated child represents someone who has gone from limitation and dependency to some level of growth and independence. The care received is a direct expression of the care and love of Jesus for each person who comes through our program. Over 500 patients and their families receive this expression of God's love each year. Each child then goes back to their villages and tells them about the care they've received and the motivation of those who have cared for them.

The Cambridge expansion will also build on OK’s Mobile Trades Unit, which is expected to reach 50 Waterloo Region classrooms, creating awareness and connecting students with future mentorship opportunities. The permanent shop is planned to launch in September 2026 with an initial team of 6–8 mentors and 12–16 students, with capacity expected to grow in the following year. Through this expansion, Organized Kaos seeks to equip young people with practical skills, supportive relationships, a stronger sense of belonging and opportunities to discover hope and purpose through faith in Jesus Christ.

The new Associate's Curriculum will gather traditional and working knowledge of current Associates and Elders and compile their expertise into a structured, modular, online, multi-media training resource to guide and mentor the next generation of speakers, leaders and Associates. This training will leverage the knowledge and experience of the current Rising Above communities to offer training through an interactive, online platform to local ministry leaders, equipping them with a biblical model of healing as it applies to healing from abuse and other trauma. The curriculum will also focus on increasing the capacity and capability of younger people to become Associates, to walk alongside people on their healing journey in their own communities.

Leveraging work already completed to transition SEMBEQ courses to an online learning platform, SEMBEQ will update the format of and digitize its core theology courses as well as add supporting multi-media resources. This online dynamic interactive platform will allow individual churches or groups of churches to autonomously use the platform to provide university-quality theological training of pastors, future leaders and mature disciples in the French-speaking world. Once courses are online, the interactive platform is fully compatible with either in-person or remote/ online group meetings and will allow pastors and leaders to equip and train mature disciples and future leaders in a way that best suits their particular church context. With additional training for facilitation and regional coordination, this platform can be used internationally throughout the French-speaking world at low cost.

A key component of the project will be creating a repeatable process for researching, testing and launching higher-margin food products, helping individual sites generate greater earned income and become increasingly self-sustaining. Through this investment in organizational capacity, The Raw Carrot will be positioned to establish new partnerships in communities across Canada, creating more dignified employment opportunities for people who are often excluded from the traditional workforce while strengthening a sustainable, community-rooted model of income, inclusion and purpose.
