God uses the faithful stewards all accross his land. We MUST have committed partners who faithfully support the ministry work through their consistent donations and pledges. Please consider becoming a partner in this ministry by sending a monthly amount of $20, $50, $75, or $100 USD. Annual gifts of $250, $500, $1000, $2500 or more are also necessary.

 

               

     

 

 

  • Prayers                            

 

 

Your Prayers are priceless...
We ask that you please add our ministry to your prayer lists. We are always grateful for our Christian Brothers & Sisters and the prayers they lift up for us.

 

  • Crisis Intervention Fund 

 

The most urgent need is to provide immediate support for a widow or orphan in crisis. This includes providing emergency housing, medical care, food, transportation, clothing, home or car repair.

  

 

  • Widows Training Fund

Training the widows and other volunteers in our community to become crisis intervention workers takes considerable resources for books, tuition, transportation, mentoring and certification.

   

 

  • Winter Sweaters & Jackets

Every year we want to give out new winter coats, jackets and sweaters to both orphans and widows.

 

 

  • Clothes and Shoes for Orphans

We all know that children constantly outgrow their clothes and shoes. It is imperative that we have the necessary funds to provide adequate clothing and protection for the growing number of children in need.

 

  

  • Children's Books Set, Shelf, or Library 

There are never enough books to give to hungry young minds. Donations of good books that challenge, inspire, encourage, and teach moral behavior, offer advice for current adolescent situations and textbook assistance is a never ending need.

 

  • Bibles

Good condition, New International, New King James, Amplified, Paraphrased, and Living Bibles are in constant demand. Once a child experiences the love of Christ they want to know more. The best source is always the Word of God!

  • Sponsor a room in our Youth Home    

 

                   

Currently we are looking to raise $200,000 to build a mission group home that would accomodate up to 10 children. This would be a Mission built especially for "at risk" youth. Group homes are especially beneficial for groups of siblings and for teen-agers, because they are difficult to place in foster family homes.

 

 

  • Education Scholarships

Scholarships for orphans that want to go onto college or vocational training programs. Also for widows who desire to go back to college.

 

  • Adoption Assistance Fund           

The greatest thing orphans need is a family of their own, who would take them out of difficult orphanage, group home and foster care life, and give them a home and a future with love. It makes all the difference in the world. This fund provides loving and qualified families with the critical financial help to adopt a child.

 

 

  • Birthday, Christmas, Gift & Celebration Fund   

What makes a child's eyes light up? A gift that shows appreciation for contributing to the life of an orphan or widow or sometimes just a simple agape gift of love!

 

  • Transition Ministry Fund

This fund is for orphan teens at a critical time in their lives, when most come to tragic conditions. Our counselors provide love, mentoring, and training to help these boys and girls get on their feet. The program helps the youths find employment and housing, enroll in college or vocational education, obtain transportation and, in general, become self sufficient. We very much need monthly donors and one time gifts, to give these young people a new beginning and a future with hope.

 

  • Crisis Mentor Training

Approaching an orphan in crisis takes skill, talent, confidence, faith, strong education and training. We provide our ministry workers with skilled training and certification so that they are prepared to handle the pressures, demands and needs of the orphans and widows in crisis. We also complete detailed background checks on all employees, volunteers, mentors and workers.

 

 

  • Volunteers

Be a part of the Mary's Comfort family

and enjoy making a difference in a woman's or child's life...

There is always a shortage of people willing to take time out of their busy lives to give an orphan or widow a blessing.

 

vol.un.teer noun -- One who serves or acts of his or her own free will; verb -- To offer or give of one's own accord or free will. One day of your time. How about one hour? Even one minute. That could be all it takes to change one life when you volunteer.   

 

  • General Fund

Keeping the ministry funded takes the help of hundreds of loving people, churches, oranizations, corporations and families to commit a monthly amount to keep the daily expenses paid.
