You Can Participate…
- Talk with God. Print a copy of our reminder calendar and talk with God every day! Ask for his favor toward us, toward the Hospital and toward Niger. God is delighted when we talk to him! Please talk with God – this is the most important thing!
. - Help us raise money. We’re not paid by the hospital. We’re estimating that our travel expenses will total around $10,000 – and we’re going to give away half of the gifts we receive to directly support Nigerians. Can you help us by sending $50, $100 or $500?

You can make a tax-deductable, safe donation into our travel account with the organisation which runs the hospital. Please mention our names and mention that we’re Short Term Associates (STAs) from the USA. Click this graphic to donate online:
One quick footnote about finances. We don’t know a lot about global economics but Jeremy thought of a few goals for this trip…
| Our Goals for Financial Gifts | ||
| more than half | family and friends who didn’t already budget to give this money | hope: more prayer and giving because of our advocacy |
| less than half | used for our own travel or living expenses | hope: responsibly supporting Niger-born, God-loving doctors and leaders |
| local first |
family and friends are supporting the needy who live nearby | hope: not overlooking the great needs of our own neighbors and cities |
