The Canadian Christian Police Ministry (CCPM) exists to build stronger faith and stronger families in support of stronger police officers, providing Christian officers and their families with peer support, resources, retreats and opportunities for connection. Police and other first responders routinely encounter critical incidents, trauma and occupational stress that can affect their emotional, relational and spiritual well-being. CCPM reports that many officers experience hyper-vigilance, social isolation, emotional vulnerability and trauma, with these pressures also affecting marriages and families. These realities create a need for confidential, supportive environments where first responders can process traumatic experiences with peers who understand their circumstances while addressing the physical, psychological and spiritual dimensions of trauma. In 2024, CCPM delivered its first REBOOT Recovery First Responders course in Canada, a 12-week, peer-led trauma-healing program developed specifically for law enforcement and other frontline personnel that combines clinical insight with Christian faith-based support. Through the Phase 2 Roll-out, CCPM will build its capacity to make REBOOT available to more first responders across Canada by training four to six additional course leaders, increasing awareness among churches, police services, wellness departments, command teams and chaplains, and delivering three to four courses through in-person and virtual formats. The project will also develop a REBOOT-based event and subsidize course fees where cost might otherwise prevent participation. By expanding access to compassionate, faith-centred trauma support, CCPM seeks to help first responders and their families find healing, strengthen relationships, build resilience and discover hope through biblical truth and supportive Christian community.

Galcom International is an evangelical Christian mission organization with a vision to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ shared with every tribe, tongue and nation and a mission to multiply missionary impact through audio technology. For more than three decades, Galcom has used solar-powered, fixed-tuned radios and broadcasting technology to help people hear Christian programming while also assisting churches and mission partners in establishing and upgrading Christian radio stations. The Balkans remain a significantly under-reached region of Europe, with communities lacking access to locally produced Christian radio programming. In the area targeted by this project, there is currently no other Christian radio station, limiting opportunities for people to hear biblical teaching and Gospel programming in their own languages. Through this project, Galcom will partner with a local ministry to establish a new FM Christian radio station, providing a self-contained, portable OMNIStation that can be adapted and scaled as future needs develop. Programming will include music alongside Bible preaching and teaching, entertainment, and children’s and youth programming, initially in the local national language with plans to also reach minority-language communities. The project will also provide podcasting equipment to be used by the local partner for online digital broadcasting while obtaining the local broadcasting license and in the case of significant persecution towards Christians. This additional equipment will extend access to Christian content beyond those who might otherwise be able to receive it. With an estimated potential broadcast reach of nearly two million people in its first phase, the initiative will equip a local ministry with sustainable broadcasting infrastructure, strengthen the local church and create an ongoing means of sharing the Gospel and biblical teaching throughout the region.

Galcom International is an evangelical Christian mission organization with a vision to see the Gospel of Jesus Christ shared with every tribe, tongue and nation and a mission to multiply missionary impact through audio technology. Cambodia continues to experience the effects of generations of political upheaval, conflict and the devastating Khmer Rouge era, with ongoing challenges related to infrastructure, education, health and community development. In rural and remote communities, radio remains an important and accessible means of communication, particularly where literacy can limit access to written resources. Since 2002, FEBC’s Voice of Love Cambodia has used radio to respond to the spiritual, practical, emotional and social needs of Cambodians through Christian teaching, counselling, music, testimony, discipleship and leadership radio broadcast and online streaming programming. Galcom will partner with Voice of Love Cambodia to manufacture, test and ship 500 solar-powered radios that are fixed-tuned to receive Voice of Love programming. Local staff will distribute the radios and train recipients to use them as they travel throughout cities and provinces to meet listeners through family seminars, workshops, program follow-up, Bible studies and other ministry activities. Because the radios are solar powered, they provide ongoing access to programming without dependence on household electricity or replacement batteries, making them particularly practical for underserved communities. The radios will extend the reach of the local church into homes and communities, enabling individuals and families to regularly hear the Gospel and receive biblical teaching, encouragement and practical guidance. By placing a sustainable source of Christian programming directly into the hands of listeners, this project will help Voice of Love deepen relationships with communities and expand opportunities for evangelism, discipleship and spiritual growth across Cambodia.

Global Disciples Canada seeks to give every person an opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ in a way they can understand and respond, equipping clusters of churches to multiply Christ-like disciples and locally sustainable fellowships among least-reached people. Across South Asia, vast numbers of people belong to communities with little or no access to the Gospel, while Christians in many areas experience significant opposition because of their faith. Local believers may face legal and social pressures for sharing their faith, while new Christians can experience harassment, discrimination, loss of employment and rejection by their families. Despite these challenges, local Christian leaders are actively reaching their own communities, creating a significant need to equip and strengthen near-culture workers who understand the language, culture and context of the people they serve. Through this multiplication project in South Asia, Global Disciples will provide seed funding that enables trained local Directors to replicate three programs within their communities: Discipleship-Mission Training, Small Business Development and Leadership Training. The project anticipates supporting 35 training programs and equipping approximately 350 leaders. Discipleship participants combine classroom learning with practical outreach and small-business participants develop sustainable sources of income that can help support their ministry. Through this multiplication model, trained leaders return to their communities to equip others, extend the Gospel among least-reached people and establish locally rooted churches that can continue growing and reproducing without long-term dependence on outside funding.

Association d’églises baptistes évangéliques au Québec (AEBEQ) mobilizes French-speaking churches to help more people experience the power of the Gospel, grow in Christian faith, develop leaders and plant new churches. Quebec represents a significant mission field within Canada, with less than 1% of its population committed to an evangelical church and only one evangelical church for every 106,000 people. In Montreal alone, significantly more churches are needed to increase access to a local Christian community. Quebec churches also face limited financial and ministry resources, an aging generation of pastors, a small pool of emerging leaders and a shortage of French-language discipleship materials, making it difficult for the church to sustain growth and multiplication without outside support. Mission Quebec, the church planting and missions agency of AEBEQ, launched Project 10:02 to gather prayer, resources and workers around a shared vision to reach Quebec with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Inspired by Luke 10:2 and its call to pray for workers for the harvest, the initiative seeks to build awareness, encourage prayer and mobilize new workers and church planters throughout the province. The project will strengthen the organizational capacity needed to support this growing movement by adding dedicated administrative and communications support and developing effective communication platforms, including web, digital and social media tools. This additional capacity will help Mission Quebec communicate with donors, volunteers and church leaders, promote key initiatives, support fundraising and foster greater collaboration. Ultimately, Project 10:02 seeks to mobilize Christians and churches within and beyond Quebec to help strengthen the French-speaking church, develop new leaders and establish new churches so that more people across the province can encounter the hope of the Gospel.

Music for Life Institute helps some of Africa’s most vulnerable children rise above poverty by providing education, Christian discipleship and leadership development, equipping young people to bring positive and lasting change to their families, communities and countries. For many years, Music for Life supported students through its primary school and external secondary schools; however, the organization recognized the need for a high-quality secondary education delivered within a nurturing Christian environment. In 2020, it opened Empower International Academy (EIA) in Uganda to meet this need. As increasing numbers of Music for Life students progress into secondary education, and EIA welcomes additional students from Christian families, the school requires expanded facilities to accommodate its growing student population and strengthen its long-term sustainability. Phase 2 of EIA’s expansion adds three classrooms, dormitory capacity for 128 students and a new bathroom block, but these facilities require essential equipment and furnishings before they can be fully utilized. This project will provide solar panels, classroom technology and equipment, desks, chairs and shelving, as well as beds and mattresses for the new dormitories. Solar power will provide reliable lighting during power outages, improving safety and enabling students to continue studying, while classroom technology will give teachers access to a broader range of resources and create more engaging learning experiences. Furnished classrooms and dormitories will allow EIA to welcome more students while creating a positive environment in which young people can learn and live. By investing in this essential infrastructure, Music for Life will strengthen EIA’s capacity to provide quality education, discipleship and leadership development, helping equip a new generation of young people to positively influence their communities.

NorthWind Family Ministries provides sacred places of community where individuals and families can honour one another’s stories, experience healing through meaningful connections with Creator God and each other, and grow through a whole-life approach to discipleship that recognizes individual strengths and resilience. Its facility at 141 May Street in Thunder Bay is an important hub for programs serving Indigenous individuals and families, making the long-term sustainability of this community space essential to the ministry’s work. The building’s cooling system is more than 40 years old and has become increasingly difficult as well as costly to maintain as replacement parts become harder to source. Although the compressor was replaced several years ago, the aging system remains at growing risk of significant or complete failure and relies on older, less-efficient technology. Building on a previous heating-system retrofit, this project will replace the existing air-conditioning equipment and upgrade the building’s controls with modern, more efficient technology. 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.

Prison Fellowship International (PFI) works through a global network of ministry partners to transform the lives of prisoners, their families and victims, with a vision to break the cycle of crime and restore lives worldwide through the love of Jesus. Prisoners are among the world’s least-reached and marginalized people, often separated from society and left to cope with isolation, hopelessness and despair. In Lebanon, 23 prisons hold approximately 7,500 prisoners at an occupancy level of 178.6%, with a significant proportion awaiting trial and thousands of children also affected by parental incarceration. With 75% of prisoners reoffending within five years of release, there is a critical need for programs that address the spiritual and relational dimensions of rehabilitation while encouraging accountability, forgiveness and lasting behaviour change. Prison Fellowship Lebanon responds through programs addressing the physical, mental and spiritual well-being of prisoners and their families. This project will support the delivery of two Bible-based restorative programs: The Prisoner’s Journey (TPJ) and the Sycamore Tree Project: Justice and Peace (STP). Through eight small-group sessions exploring the Gospel of Mark, TPJ introduces prisoners to Jesus, helping participants understand who He is, His call for their lives and the hope of a restorative relationship with Him. STP applies biblical principles of restoration to help prisoners understand the impact of crime and reflect on responsibility, forgiveness and reconciliation in a unique setting that brings offenders and victims together. Through these complementary programs, Prison Fellowship Lebanon seeks to create opportunities for spiritual transformation, healing and restored relationships, helping prisoners develop new perspectives and behaviours that can support successful reintegration into their families and communities.

Publications Chrétiennes believes that the Gospel produces true and lasting change in the life of the believer and that healthy churches are the best way to impact the community with the Gospel. Knowing that books are an important tool that God uses to form passionate, faithful disciples of Jesus Christ and to build up of the church, Publications Chrétiennes focuses on publishing French-language books that will be effective tools to make disciples, share the Gospels, and raise up leaders in the French-speaking church. Doing ministry in the French-speaking world is difficult as often these men are working with limited financial resources and staff. Also, there are frequently only a few like-minded churches in their city meaning they can often feel isolated. This project focuses on strengthening and improving the health of the church throughout Quebec and the French-speaking world and to develop a culture of effective biblical discipleship. This multi-year grant provides funds for the French translation of 19 books specifically on topics to address the principles of healthy church development and biblical discipleship as well as for an annual conference to encourage and equip pastors and elders through provide training, relationship building, networking and targeted dialogue that works through the application of biblical truth to their Christian life and their church. It is the prayer of Publications Chrétiennes that through this project, churches throughout Quebec and the French-speaking world become embassies of Jesus by modelling the Gospel to the world and equipping their people for ministry.

Wellspring will be a catalyst for transforming education and fostering vibrant communities that address poverty in all its forms. Wellspring seeks justice, worth and dignity for all those with whom it engages showing the love of Christ and empowering new generations through quality education in Africa. Through locally relevant, sustainable, and scalable models, Wellspring empowers Rwandan parents, teachers, school and community leaders, as well as local and national government officials with training, coaching, research and advocacy to ensure Rwandan children have access to exceptional learning experiences in inclusive, engaging, playful, adaptive and character-building classrooms; nurturing healthy home environments that support holistic growth and learning; and, the necessary tools, knowledge and life skills for emotional resilience, well-being and good mental health. Children who come to school from a nurturing, safe, and stimulating home are ready to learn, socialize and self-regulate. Unhealthy family life leads to childrens' stunted growth, poor emotional health, early pregnancy, substance abuse, and poor school performance. Healthy families nurture healthy children leading to the improved ability for children to stay in school and truly learn. Unfortunately, as a result of cultural norms and the 1994 genocide, many Rwandan parents lack role models and generalized society-based learning to develop positive parenting skills. At Wellspring's 2022 Healthy Families workshop, parents shared painful stories of family violence, marriage breakdown, and childrearing challenges, including neglect, mistreatment and conflict. Rwanda's 2023 National Strategy to Address Drop Out cites family conflict as a key cause of school absenteeism. Rwandan parents need knowledge and skills to contribute positively to the holistic development of their children so they can learn and thrive. This pilot project will test a model to equip and empower 360 village-level "Community Influencers" to provide support, training, and coaching to 7200 Rwandan parents and caregivers to strengthen positive attitudes and increase knowledge and skills in developing healthy/equitable relationships and in positive parenting. This project will result in healthier marriages and flourishing families that provide safer and more developmentally and emotionally supportive homes for Rwandan girls and boys leading to more consistent school attendance and a greater capacity for children to learn. Funding from Acts of Grace will provide 100% of the resources needed for all foundational stages of the project, including a collaborative and participant-driven approach to project design, the creation of all training materials and methods suited to the local context and the development of robust monitoring and evaluation processes with clear outcomes and indicators of impact.
