Hope for Japan
On March 11,2011 a devastating earthquake struck off the coast of northern Japan. From a technology standpoint, this is one of the world’s most progressive nations, but nothing could save it from the catastrophic impact of an 8.9 earthquake, which also triggered a massive tsunami containing a 25-foot wall of water. Within moments entire villages and cities were swept away and hundreds, if not, thousands were instantly killed.
The Japanese media have estimated that the death toll will quickly climb to over 10,000. Countless people are now homeless and without adequate food, water, and shelter.On top of this, temperatures in Japan at this time of the year generally fall to freezing overnight. The further you move north into the quake zone, the colder it becomes. U.S. relief agencies have bolted into action along with many Christian ministries.
How can you help? You can pray, and you can give. Nations For Jesus is partnering with the ministry of BJapan in an effort to get relief into northern Japan. Please pray that the Christians located in this area will shine with the love of God and be salt and light to their fellow citizens in these very difficult times.
Your gift will help us in our effort to deliver much needed life-saving relief supplies including food, water, blankets, medical supplies and tents to children and families devastated by the earthquake. Thank you for your prayers and thank you for your support.
Bibles for the Kurds
The Kurds are the largest ethnic group without a nation to call their own. They are considered as the outcasts of society; they have little wealth or schooling. Today most Kurds are Muslims. Less than 1 in 100 claim to be followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. An estimated 15 million Kurds who live in Turkey do not have access to a Bible in their Kumanji dialect.
Translation is underway for the development of the Kurdish Old Testament. This book will supplement the Kurdish New Testament completed in 2005 and the Kurdish New Testament with the Book of Psalms finished in 2009. An audio recording of the New Testament will be an effective tool since many Kurds cannot read or write in their language. The Campus Crusade for Christ team in Turkey has agreed to distribute the book/CD package throughout the country. Reading and listening at the same time will help them to learn their mother tongue.
While the cost of one Kurdish New Testament is $3.90, the price drops to $3.18 per copy if 10,000 copies are printed. An accompanying CD is $1.18 per copy for a total of $4.36 for each hardcover set. Please join us in supporting these brothers and sisters in Christ.
Sponsor an Evangelistic Crusade
Nations for Jesus is committed to take the
gospel of Jesus Christ to all nations, seeking to do so with urgency, and using the most culturally applicable presentations. We are further committed to provide a ministry of discipleship for each new believer, working in partnership with like-minded ministries who desire to accomplish the same mission.
Nations for Jesus directly supports numerous evangelistic activities including open-air crusades, film evangelism, street evangelism, and Hope Centers.
NFJ incorporates evangelism into humanitarian work by working with local churches in crisis areas, sharing the Gospel with those who receive food, shelter, medicine in the name of Christ.
We invite you to pray with us to invest financially to bring light to the nations in Africa and Asia. It costs a mere $1 to present the Gospel face-to-face and help change a life forever! That means a gift of $50 will communicate the Good News 50 people. $25,000 will sponsor an entire crusade for thousands of people.
Sponsor an Orphaned Child
There are hundreds of boys and girls waiting for someone to love and care for them. Many of these children come into Hope Centers as Hindus and Muslims. We raise them up in the ways of God and they in turn become Christians, missionaries, pastors and professionals.
For $30 a month you can sponsor a child. Your gift can make the difference between life and death for some children. What an eternal investment to make in the life of a child! When you adopt a child, Nations for Jesus will send you the complete biography of a child. You can pray for that child and receive updates from time to time.
Build a Hope Center
Children have become victims of poverty, abuse, war, child labor, and disease. An overwhelming number of children are abandoned, orphaned, abused and live on streets. The global orphan crisis caused by AIDS is set to get worse as infection rates in adults increase according to a major report from UNAIDS. The current HIV crisis orphans more than 35,000 children every single day, literally creating a worldwide epidemic of
homelessness and abandoned children.
Nothing is more heart breaking than the thought of children with no one to care for them. There are now over 143 million orphaned or abandoned children in the world today.
Burdened by this knowledge and need, Nations for Jesus offers a dynamic approach to confront the orphan problem through establishing church based Hope Centers. Hope centers are established to deliver children from economic, physical, social and spiritual poverty, enabling them to become model citizens.
Hope Centers provide children with residential care, health care, counseling, spiritual development, educational and vocational training.
When a Hope Center is constructed, it then becomes a catalyst for the local church to share God's love and compassion with the community, city or region. The Hope Center becomes the hub of Hope in the area, with various outreach activities radiate from the center to the community.

Sponsor a Widow
Nations for Jesus is dedicated to fulfilling the mandate recorded in James 1:27. In many Asian countries, from conception to death, women suffer in uncountable ways. Many families blame the untimely death of a husband to the misfortune of the woman. In many cases, upon the death of their husbands, they loose social standing in society and are ultimately forced to beg for their survival.
Nations for Jesus responded to the need by inaugurating a home for widows and providing monthly financial support. For $20 a month, you can sponsor one of the widows.
Sponsor a Pastor
We believe nations that have closed their doors to foreign missionaries can only be reached by indigenous pastors. Asian and African churches give their tithes and offerings, but the economy of these countries is not stable. Your sponsorship will help pastors to focus entirely on their ministry.
Nations for Jesus is looking sponsorship for pastors living in the 10/40 window. Be a partner with Nations for Jesus by adopting one of the national pastors. For each pastor you adopt, we will send you the profile and picture for information and prayer. Please pray about whether you, your family, home fellowship or church could help support one or more of these national pastors with a gift of $100 per month.
Sponsor a Pastors Conference
Nations for Jesus holds
pastors conferences throughout Africa and Asia. We provide accommodation, workshop materials, ministry tools (Bible dictionaries, commentaries, leadership enrichment books) and feed two hundred Pastors for two days.
The purpose of the conference is to inspire, instruct, equip, encourage and challenge Christian leaders with applicable principles and practical ideas. These conferences will help them engage in spiritual, intellectual and personal renewal and gain fresh perspective on their ministries.
The cost of conducting each conference is approximately $2000. Would you help us to cover or defray the many expenses associated with conducting this great event?
Sponsor a Bible Institute
Church planting is at the core of our ministry. Nations for Jesus recruits and trains church planters from throughout Africa and Asia. The training centers exist to provide biblical teaching, practical tools and develop church planting skills while encouraging the personal spiritual growth of planters and their spouses.
Many of these church planters are passionate for God and they have a burning desire to equip themselves theologically. But financial constraints prevent them from receiving such formal training. Your contribution of $7200 will help us to recruit, train and cover living expenses for 25 leaders for a whole year.
Sponsor a Mission Trip
Nations for Jesus works to create missions awareness within the body of Christ. The God of the Bible is not a tribal deity. He is the God of all nations. With this in mind, NFJ organizes short-term mission trips to allow believers to participate in God’s work of salvation among the nations.
Short-term mission trips range from one week to up to six months. The ministry opportunities include evangelistic outreaches, pastoral training, leadership training, children’s ministry, youth ministry, literature distribution, and caring for the underprivileged.
On average, a donation of $2500 allows an individual to participate in a two week mission trip.
