In northwest Central African Republic (CAR), Christian communities have endured brutal violence throughout the year. Muslim herders continue to seize land, destroying homes and livelihoods, and leaving families with nothing. Last year, our “Home for Christmas” project brought relief to 470 families in Bocaranga. This year, we turn our focus to two more major towns in the same region—Ngaoundaye and Ndim—where thousands of families are suffering.
With over 1,700 families seeking safety in these towns, the need is immense. These displaced individuals have lost their homes, their crops, and their sense of security. But through this year’s Hope for Christmas project, we aim to restore their hope by providing them with emergency supplies that will help them survive and rebuild.
Each $60 donation will provide one family with essential items they desperately need such as tarps, bedrolls, water jugs, cooking oil, rice, salt, soap, and kitchen kits. Our goal is to raise $100,000, which would allow us to help every single one of these 1,700 families. This is more than a temporary fix—it’s a lifeline that will help these families return to their villages once it’s safe. Your gift can help them endure this season of displacement.
By partnering with local Charis churches, this project will not only provide immediate relief but also strengthen the testimony of the Charis Churches in CAR. The love shown through these gifts will shine a light in the darkness, reminding our brothers and sisters that they are not alone.
This opportunity also gives North American churches a chance to serve together, as we share from our abundance to meet the deep needs of our global family. When we give, we glorify God by reflecting His love and generosity to those in desperate need.
This Christmas, let’s bring hope to the hopeless. Your donation can be the difference between despair and survival for these families. Will you join us in making a lasting impact? Give the gift of hope this Christmas and help us reach our goal of $100,000. Together, we can show the love of Christ in a powerful way!
