International Gifts

Guatemala Project - For over 20 years the Guatemala Project has helped Mayan Communities in the mountains of Guatemala with housing, fuel efficient stoves, schools, Church buildings, health clinics, medical services and more. All the funds to make this work possible come from donations and the profits from selling handcrafted items made in Guatemala. All proceeds from donations and sales are used to fund our Mission Project in Guatemala. YOU can make a difference with the purchase of a beautiful, hand crafted item such as tote bags, hand weaved clothing, blankets and much more.

African Team Ministries - The drought in Kenya and Somalia caused more than 260,000 people to die from hunger. A simple, inexpensive drip irrigation system can bring relief and hope to the thousands of people who are suffering from drought in Kenya. It can also provide a long-term solution to the ongoing problem of hunger in East Africa. African Team Ministries is providing Drip Irrigation Kits to the Anglican and Lutheran Dioceses of the Rift Valley. It costs only $15 to provide a Drip Irrigation Kit for a family. YOU can make a difference with a purchase of handmade items such as jewelry, wood carvings, bowls, animals, candle stick holders and much more.

Heifer International - Heifer International's mission is to work with communities to end world hunger and poverty and to care for the Earth by empowering families to turn hunger and poverty into hope and prosperity. YOU can help by buying an animal or share in an animal to provide partners with food and reliable income from agricultural products generated such as milk, eggs and honey that can be traded or sold at market
