Dear Friend,<br />
Thank you for taking the time to read through this<br />
<strong>Gift</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong>. As you flip through the pages, you<br />
will get a greater glimpse of God’s work around<br />
the world and learn how we can partner together<br />
to make Christ known among the nations. As the<br />
prophet Isaiah foretold 700 years before Christ,<br />
“The people who walked in darkness have seen<br />
a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep<br />
darkness, on them has light shone.” (Isaiah 9:2).<br />
Still today, there are billions of people living in great<br />
darkness who need God’s light to shine on them.<br />
Your generous giving toward projects in this <strong>Gift</strong> <strong>Catalog</strong> provides<br />
opportunities to shine the bright light of Christ to people living in dark and<br />
desperate times. Please join us in praying for our Associates and National<br />
<strong>Partners</strong> around the world as they prepare to share the Good News with those<br />
who will benefit from these projects.<br />

Goats<br />
My name is Charlis. These goats<br />
provide extra needed income for my<br />
family. I have 3 children: two sons and<br />
one daughter. One of my sons is 18<br />
years old, my daughter is in 4th grade,<br />
and my other son has special needs.<br />

I also do daily wage labor in the fields,<br />
but the money I earn through that<br />
is not sufficient, so these goats help<br />
provide the extra income we need.<br />
Now that I am able to breed the goats<br />
and sell them, I am able to use the<br />
money towards the children’s studies.<br />

“Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as<br />
elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.<br />
Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a<br />
gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.”<br />

“A Local Resource, a <strong>Global</strong> Experience!”<br />
On May 3, 20<strong>23</strong>, GPPD will celebrate our 20th year of showing and sharing God’s<br />
love locally and globally. Through the years, God has used the lives of countless<br />
people to impact the nations as they have joined God in what He is doing through<br />
GPPD. With the addition of this facility, we believe that even more people and<br />
nations will be reached for His glory.<br />
We are now in Phase 1 of this project and are walking forward as God provides<br />
financially for the new facility. If you would like to help mobilize more people to<br />
make Christ known among the nations, please consider a donation to this cause!<br />

• Celebrate the <strong>Gift</strong> of Clean Water<br />
• Help lead Christian English Camps<br />
• Spend Time with Sponsored Kids<br />
• Work on Construction Projects<br />

We remain committed to sending<br />
95% or more of donations directly to<br />
the designated cause. Because of this<br />
approach, your donation specifically<br />
towards the building project is critical in<br />
order to reach Phase 2 of fundraising and<br />
construction.<br />

Refugees<br />
Our refugee ministry in Jordan continues to provide food,<br />
heaters and blankets, community support, children’s programs,<br />
Bible studies, and more. Our goal is to not only help cover their<br />
basic needs, but to impact their future story through God’s love.<br />
Thanks to the generosity of many, we’ve been able to provide food,<br />
medicine, and aid for thousands of displaced people in Ukraine and<br />
hundreds of refugees in Slovakia through our GPPD Associates.<br />

Clean Water<br />
Local partners in India help us find villages where impoverished<br />
families lack access to a clean water source. Since 2011, <strong>Global</strong><br />
<strong>Partners</strong> is blessed to have installed 452 wells in rural villages,<br />
primarily in India and more recently in Uganda. We are not far<br />
from our goal to have 500 wells funded by the end of <strong>2022</strong>!<br />

When you give, you<br />
receive images, videos and<br />
GPS coordinates of the<br />
well you helped provide.<br />

“A Sisterhood of Artisans”<br />
NHS artisans creating maps for the advent calendar<br />
At Nations’ Hope Store Maker’s Events, ladies learn how to create an item<br />
for sale in our online store and are paid onsite for each completed product.<br />
Regular attendees grow in handicraft and business skills, which can translate<br />
into their own small business contexts. Nations’ Hope is so much more than a<br />
business endeavor. NHS leaders intentionally build relationships, encouraging<br />
the women in God’s truth, praying with them, and seeking discipleship<br />
opportunities. You are invited to shop at NationsHopeStore.com.<br />

“This was one of our favorite Christmas<br />
activities we’ve ever chosen to do. We<br />
learned so much and were blown away by<br />
how many people groups have yet to hear<br />
and receive Jesus. My kids were sad to<br />
stop, but I told them we will continue to<br />
pray about these unreached groups and<br />
are looking forward to being a part of your<br />
ministry.”<br />
