God is opening doors in Sri Lanka!
Pastor Pathum serves in one of the most rugged and remote areas of Sri Lanka. For some time, he had a desire to reach a neighboring village, a Tamil-speaking Hindu community. However, there was one major barrier: he did not speak Tamil and there were no Tamil-speaking believers in his church. But God was already preparing the way.
Shortly after Pastor Pathum began praying about reaching this village, a family who had accepted the Lord began attending his church. They were Tamil-speaking believers.
At the same time, a devastating cyclone struck the district where his church is located, leaving many families in the neighboring village without essential belongings.
In the aftermath of the disaster, God opened an unexpected door. Through the local government, Pastor Pathum was given access to serve the affected community. With funds from Cherith International, he distributed clothing and essential supplies. Because the new believers could speak Tamil, they were also able to communicate with the villagers and share the Gospel in their own language. The cyclone opened a door for Pastor Pathum to reach a community he had long desired to serve. God provided the language, the opportunity, and the resources to demonstrate His love and proclaim the Good News.

Kids 4 Kids -- VBS blesses kids in a remote jungle school in Myanmar
It was inspiring to see the VBS children embark on an exciting journey to connect with other children living deep in the jungles of Shan State, Myanmar. Through videos and drawings, they shared heartfelt messages with children on the other side of the world. Their generous gifts also provided the jungle school with enough funding for educational materials and teacher support in the coming four years.
Since Bible teachings are part of the school curriculum, the children will receive the life changing message of Jesus Christ.

Serving those in need in Oshkosh
Through the Cherith Clothing & Resource Center in Oshkosh, volunteers serve refugees and local families in need by providing clothing, household goods, and other essentials, along with personal care and encouragement.
The center partners with a homeless-prevention program serving single parents and children, as well as local marriage and family counseling providers, offering practical support, building meaningful relationships, and demonstrate the love of Christ in word and deed.
We also come alongside local believers through service, encouragement, prayer, and spiritual support. Through home visits and personal connections, we support families from diverse and refugee backgrounds, reminding them that they are seen, valued, and not alone.
