Raise Your Hands
for Mission and Service
“The government laid pipes for clean water a few years
ago – but no water came ... a second agency dug a well
here, but it collapsed during construction … again no
water. Now Rainbow Christian Missions (RCM) digs a well,
and clean water GUSHES out! We are so thankful to God
for the work of RCM,” said retired teacher and community
leader Livingstone Aswani on behalf of the Eshibembe
Schools in the western province of Kenya.
Rainbow Christian Missions lends its helping hands for clean water
“Our (new) roof is a blessing … you have our undying
gratitude,” said Donna Griffith, one of many residents of
Philippi, West Virginia whose home has been repaired by
the youth of Ingomar Church.
Clean water and a roof that doesn’t leak — basic needs many of
us take for granted. These are just two examples of how the serving
hands of Ingomar Church have touched the lives of others.
And the positive stories abound! The supported missions of Ingomar
Church provide shelter and food for the homeless, help for those in
crisis and poverty, child sponsorship, medical outreach, clean water
to those without, housing repair and reconstruction for those who
can’t afford it, and the means to share the word and love of God —
locally, regionally, and internationally.
