Africa
The needs of African communities are as diverse as the people within them. For some, the lack of quality education prevents children from reaching their full God-given potential. In others, extreme poverty plagues many hard-working people who struggle to afford food, water and medical care. In fact, some of the African countries we serve have a population in which more than half live below the poverty line.
Countries
Asia
Many of the countries we help in Asia and nearby Oceania suffer from spiritual unfulfillment. Only 0.9% of people in Bangladesh identify as Christians, for example, and young people in Fiji are quickly falling away from the faith. Our ministries seek to bring hope to those who have not yet responded to the Gospel with a variety of evangelization projects. From providing food to eat to strcturally sound homes to live in, we have the opportunity to help with physical restoration as we spread a message of hope.
Countries
Europe
Many people throughout Europe are already blessed with material goods like food, clothes, water and structurally sound homes. In fact, in the European countries we work in, fewer than 20% of the populations live below the poverty line. So, we focus many of our efforts in Europe on spiritual growth and emotional healing. The countries we serve include:
North America
The living conditions in several parts of North America can be described as tragic. From imposing rulers and endless cycles of violence to devastating earthquakes and hurricanes, the need for a message of hope is rampant throughout the continent. Unfortunately, many people have never heard the Gospel or have begun to turn away from the Catholic Church.
Countries
Central and South America
The needs in countries across Central America and South America are plentiful. In many of the areas we serve, more than a quarter of the population lives below the poverty line and lacks resources like adequate health care and education. Our focus in this region is to eliminate the extreme poverty found in many of these countries and guide communities toward ongoing self-sufficiency. This focus extends to nations like:
