El Salvador child sponsorship update

We’re grateful to the many Northbrook families that faithfully sponsor children through our global partners in El Salvador, Ghana, and India. Watch these videos to hear the words of children as they share what their Northbrook sponsor means to them. Pastor Agustin from the local church in Cacaopera, El Salvador, shares his heart about the transformation that has taken place in the community through Northbrook’s partnership.  

hygiene kits for kenya

Northbrook’s Threads of Hope ministry is always prepared with a supply of high quality, reusable hygiene kits so we can respond to needs around the world. When an opportunity arose to send kits to women living in Kibera slum, outside of Nairobi, Kenya, we were ready!  Two suitcases of kits were taken to Michigan and carried by our partner, International Needs, to Kenya. Kibera slum is the largest urban slum in Africa. Hundreds of thousands of people live there, many earning less than $1.00 per day.  These kits provide a healthier option for self-care, dignity, improved opportunity for education, and the message of hope found in Jesus Christ.

INTERNATIONAL NEEDS GHANA

Since 1974, the central aim of International Needs has been to win people to Christ.

They dig wells, build schools, and sponsor kids so they can go to school and get a hot meal each day—all for the central purpose of transforming lives and reaching communities for Jesus Christ.

​

Northbrook Church is a key partner in ministry. We have supported medical teams and clinics, built a church pavilion and six-classroom school, and helped hundreds through child sponsorship and children’s outreach programs.  Relationship building and teaching continue with our partner, International Needs Ghana, in creative ways!

INDIA

God’s work in India is reflected through a relationship that exists to give everyone an opportunity to hear, understand and respond to the gospel and be discipled into communities of believers, within their own context, so that Christ is radiated in everything they do. This is accomplished through the training of indigenous leaders, planting of churches, relief and rehabilitation efforts, and the education of women and children to transform lives across the nation of India and beyond.
