20/20 VISION (4-1029)

Our 20/20 Vision initiative is focused on expanding our ministry in four key areas before the end of 2020 and includes:

• Mobilizing our members and churches in prayer and greater participation with UB Global.
• Sending an additional twenty new fulltime workers.
• Partnering with one another and with ministries that share our vision and values.
• Pioneering two new ministries among unengaged and unreached peoples.

Your contributions to this project will be used to continue our efforts to engage more people to take action and part in what God is doing through the United Brethren among our neighborhoods and nations.

Special Projects (2-8798)

Located on the outskirts of San Jose, the Centro de Adoración a Dios is a growing church of some 150 members. It is our only congregation in Costa Rica but it’s pastor Rev. Erik Rojas is frequently invited to other United Brethren conferences in Central America to provide theological and ministerial training.

Guatemala Special Projects (2-8698)

Thailand Special Projects (2-8998)

The work of the United Brethren began in the northern mountains of Thailand among the Akha peoples in 1991. Today we have two churches in the mountains with approximately 400 believers. Currently, we are expanding our ministry to engage the majority Thai Buddhist in Chiang Rai where a multinational team of workers from Hong Kong, China, Honduras and the United States are focused on community engagement in order to present the gospel, make disciples and plant churches.

Your contributions to this project will enable our team to complete the construction of a community center, offer a variety of programs to engage neighbors, continue the work of evangelism, discipleship, leadership development and church multiplication.

Beautiful Family Child Sponsorship (2-9995)

Leprosy carries the same stigma today as it did in Bible times. Your support of $25 per month enables children whose families have been affected by leprosy to attend school.

Your sponsorship provides school supplies, books, clothing, food, medical needs and the opportunity to hear the gospel. The children stay in a “hostel,” which is like a dorm, and go home periodically for holidays.

Solar and Water Project (2-9894)

Imagine your local hospital having to buy gas to get a generator running each time a surgery takes place. That’s what the staff at UBC’s Mattru Hospital has done for decades as there is no electrical grid in most of Sierra Leone.

The introduction of solar electricity at the UBC Mattru Hospital will not only provide electricity to the hospital, but also will be sold to businesses and homeowners in the community. In addition, a water filtration and packaging business will generate needed income to pay hospital staff salaries and upgrade facilities.

Honduras Special Projects (2-9798)

Honduras is the only country in Central America to which UB Global sent missionaries. All other ministries in Central America were outgrowths of the church planting efforts of our 110 churches in Honduras.
