Renovation of Christian School
Shangshak, Manipur State, India
$10,000
Tuisem and Margaret Shishak opened Patkai Christian Academy in 2001 to provide quality education for tribals and non-tribal poor of Indo-Burma within a Christian environment. Beginning with Classes 1 - 3, the school has grown to include Classes 4 - 10.
Our FIC gift will repair and remodel buildings that initially were not constructed with quality materials. The buildings will now remain sturdy and provide a Christian learning environment for children who will one day have an impact on society.
| Mwani Radio Tower
Macomia, Mozambique
$11,000
The goal of BCC missionaries, Paul and Karen Zimmerman, is ministry and outreach to an unreached Mwani people group of about 100,000, who are entirely Folk Islamic and largely illiterate. When issued a license and frequency, Radio NURU will bring Christian broadcasts in the heart language of Kimwani to the Mwani people over the 18 meter tower, which will be delivered by truck from South Africa.

| Medical Staff Housing
Langano, Ethiopia
$12,500
The original proposal for this project of Dan and Kim Scheel was funded fully by FIC in 2005. But the cost of materials nearly doubled before the contractor was able to get into the area and begin construction. The duplex will provide permanent housing for 2 Ethiopian nurses and their families, a necessity for retaining quality clinic staff. Kim and her clinic staff remain committed to meeting the Arsi people's physical needs and introducing them to the God who can meet their spiritual needs.

| Agape Church and Pastor's Residence
Parupally village, India
$9,000
The church was built and dedicated on July 15, 2007, as a central "House of Prayer" and meeting place for believers from different villages and different castes. As the building is in a rural area, several difficulties were encountered, especially supply of building materials and skilled labor. Thus cost of materials nearly doubled. This giftwill cover the additional expense not met by the 2006 FIC gift.
