Intense Social Relief services take place at "My Father's House" : This is the project at the Passion Week Center through which we provide rehabilitation support for street children, abandonned children, orphans and councelling for delinquent youth or those under all kinds of enslaving substances and circumstances.

This will give an opportunity for local families to meet some of these children and youth and identify those they would like to help under the direction of Passion week Ministries.

The United Nations estimates that the number of people suffering from chronic hunger could increase to 1.2 billion (from 850 million) by 2015 if the current global food crisis continues. As believers in Christ, we are called to respond to the crisis in the light of our commitment to the life and dignity of every person.

Passion Week Mission International is committed to finding ways that can both meet the immediate needs of those suffering from hunger (short-term responses) as well as reduce the impact of the crisis in the future (long-term responses).

Part of the cause of the persistent and increasing poverty, particularly in Sub Saharan Africa, despite decades of food programmes and conferences, is that the donnors failed to empower those on the receiving end so that they can sustain themselves . As we put it here, we keep giving "fish" to the poor without teaching them how to "catch Fish".

We want to focus more on the second aspect : Provide guidance and support for agricultural techniques, provide micro credits for small commerce and enterprises. Provide practical training on soap making, food production, etc.

Everyone that has visited an African village and asked the people what they need more than anything else, will agree that, they will tell you: Water! The Well may have gone dry, if they have one. The nearest water may be a muddy stream, an hour's trek for the women and children who fetch and carry water. It may be an unprotected spring, where cattle, goats or wandering dogs drink and defecate, where women do the laundry, children bathe and buckets are filled with muddy water for the long trek back home. For some of us here at Passion Week Mission, these were real life facts and not hear say.

Diarrhoeal diseases are an underlying cause of Africa 's high infant and child mortality. Access to clean water become and urgent and most efficient way to curtail some of the diseases and associated consequences.

Passion Week Mission is responding to this challenge through the "Water for the Sahara" project, by providing wells, water purification techniques.

Science also tells us that water or food are actually not the first necessities of the Human body: the AIR we breath and good SLEEP are the first two most critical ingredients of life. This has led us to add another layer of activity that includes the teaching of Sanitation techniques, including the use of latrines (most diseases are actually contracted by breathing germs and virus found in the air), basic hygiene and so forth.

Nearly one-fourth of children die before age 5 in many Sub saharan African nations. Diseases such as malaria are rampant, but health care is scarce. Through "Medical Action for the Sahara", Passion Week Ministries wants to save lives and bring hope to this corner of the world.

We are currently working on a Mobile Clinic (A vehicule equiped with medical supplies and other equipment that will travel from Village to village to provide necessary treatment to the sick).

As we identify appropriate resources, small indigenous clinics will be built and a nurse will receive patients on set days of the week.

We are always looking for medical professionals(Dental, Eyes, etc) who feel called for short terms mission to our Field Stations. Our local teams are available to receive you and plan the campaign.

The Lamentation of every curious person is: how does this apply to Africa? What does this mean to unreached People of Africa south of the Sahara Desert?

Many African Nations have understood the need to bridge the digital divide. Many in the West are on the information Super Highway, unfortunately many in Africa are still standing on the side walks.

Passion Week Mission International recognizes that acccess to information holds the key to the empowerment of marginalized people, particularly youth and women. Through "Computer for the Sahara", we want to foster wealth creation, reduce unemployment and create self-sustaining communities by providing marginalized people in rural communities with the technology tools, training and resources to enable them to realize their greatest potential.

Part of the educational aspect of our work is in this area of Information Technologies. Our desire is to brdge the digital divide by providing strategic and turnkey solutions for the advance of ICT in Africa.

We are working with specialised organizations to setup these ready-to-deploy computer labs, internet access systems, covering the whole spectrum of Information Technologies. These turn key solutions will be shipped to appropriate local districts in sub saharan Africa.

Local resources will then be trained to replicate this same system.

In the majority of African traditional beliefs, "A woman is a stranger in her father's house, and a stranger in her husband's”. Since women are bound by duty to be married to another family, they cannot inherit land from their own.

Since women are bound to be married and sent away, educating them is not a smart nor exciting investment for a family with sons. Since new wives are from another family, another home, and sometimes another tribe, they are not entitled to any of the husband's family's property or wealth.

Since new wives can leave their husbands, allowing them to own any part of their husband's inheritance can result in the lands of your ancestors being owned by aliens. And since their daughters are doomed to the same fate, the cycle continues. Women therefore find themselves in relative vicious cycle, depending on the particular tribal circumstances. We believe that this situation requires a particular attention, so that they can be given the opportunity to fulfil their own God-given destiny.

For this reson, we became convinced that the girl's education must become something very intentional. Through our "A child Trained, Acommunity Transformed" project, we want to encourage and provide scholarship, as they become available, for girls from Elementary School to College, in case the above situation or any other social practice or belief would stand on their way.

The Project will also allow us to provide school supplies and equipment to schools in need both for teachers and the students, in our effort to curtail illiteracy.

Question : What is the chief end of man?
Answer : The chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy him forever.

The WestMinter Catechism

All of man's effort is futile and mere vanity without the knowledge of the creator, God almighty.

This knowledge transcends the intellect and appeal to the heart and intentional response to God's laws and commandments.

We will provide spiritual relief to the unreached People through our "Worship God. Love one another" project.

Our Local Evangelism Team will travel from village to village to proclaim the Good news of salvation in Christ. We will assist these communities with their house of worship, leader's training and evangelistic outreaches.

Scolarships will be made available to those called to missionary work: our strategy is to raise, train and support local missionaries, who will be able to help their own communities.

A support system of 3 years initially is being put in place until they can suppoprt themselves.

We are always looking for believers who feel led to join us on one of our numerous mission trips to Sub saharan Africa.
