Wishing you a Blessed Thanksgiving, KGM Partners! 

Honestly, we’re still giving thanks to God for the difference you made LAST year – especially with your chicken gifts. God has already multiplied the 92 original flocks into 302 flocks for a total of 1,510 chickens. Because you cared, the number of families able to lift themselves from poverty just keeps growing. And there's more! This week we're doubly grateful for MATCHING FUNDS that double your impact.  God bless your faithfulness. Happy Thanksgiving. 
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” (Malachi 3:10)

KGM MATCH WEEK 2022

KGM Volunteer Board Members cover all operating costs so 100% of your generous gift will bring income-producing animals and Bible Story Scarves, directly to families in rural India. 

Whether you choose to join us by giving once, or monthly through KGM'S Fountain Community, we want you to have peace of mind about your stewardship.
             



THIS WEEK LET US HELP YOU HELP THEM!

In honor of #GIVING TUESDAY, KGM is revving up its annual Year-End Campaign with a full week of matching funds. All fully funded gifts received from November 22-29 will be eligable for matching funds up to $2,000. 

Need help deciding? 
Check-out your choices:

Choose Compassion: Invest in Animal Farmers

For food security, nothing beats owning livestock. Goats and chickens provide families with their own supply of milk, meat, eggs and manure to fertilize their crops. As animals reproduce they also provide a new, sustainable source of income that help families lift themselves out of poverty. To learn more about each gift, click the links below.

Choose Hope: Invest in Bible Storytellers

Illiteracy and 19,500 native dialects (many without Bible translations) are obstacles to sharing the hope of the Gospel with the lost in India. The Bible Storytelling Scarf is an evangelism tool designed for oral cultures that changes everything. 

Your Hope Gift of a Bible Storytelling Scarf will be delivered to KGM India Headquarters and distributed to men, women, and pastors who have completed the Scriptures-In-Use storytelling training course. These believers are dedicated to spreading the Hope of Jesus to their illiterate, unreached friends and neighbors. To learn more about the Bible Storytelling Movement, click the link below:

 
Choose Community: Invest in The Fountain

THE FOUNTAIN is a passionate and determined group of  consistent givers (pledged monthly, bi-monthly, quarterly, or annually) who are serious about Jesus' commission to BRING THE GOOD NEWS OF GOD'S LOVE to every village in India. People like you, working together, giving anything they can to sing God's praises and make His glory known among all the peoples. Our pooled fund supplements India believer tithes so pastors in India can better serve them and reach other villages for Jesus. Join today and your first gift given during match week will be eligible for matching funds up to $2,000.

You Can Help End Child Starvation in India l Give a Four-Legged Miracle

 

Today we’re celebrating the difference you made in Andhra Pradesh! 

Raju, like all 13-year old boys, is full of energy. So Pastor Anil invited him to “catch a goat” for his mother. The boy had a real ball chasing every kid in the field, finally emerging triumphant and grinning from ear to ear, with the perfect one. We hope that million-dollar smile makes you smile, too. It’s a picture of your gifts at work ensuring Raju and his two sisters will have healthy goat milk and cheese to eat every day. 

It also spurs us on to make even more children smile.

Did you know that right now – in 2022, an era of high-speed internet, self-driving cars, and robotic surgery – India has the world’s highest number of children suffering from severe, acute MALNUTRITION? (UNICEF)

Nearly 6 million Indian children, under the age of five, are affected by this most visible and lethal type of starvation that leaves their bodies with virtually no protection against common diseases like pneumonia. 

In their statement, UNICEF called it “an overlooked child survival emergency” causing “one out of five deaths in children under five.”

But when a family like Raju's owns goats, everything changes. Raising goats means nourishing food on the table – every day. It provides children with nutrients they need to grow strong and healthy. In fact, goat milk has more protein, calcium, magnesium, phosphorous, and potassium than cow milk! 

Just as important, goat farming helps moms and dads to earn extra income to pay for better housing, clothing, and school tuition, not only giving their children new hope for a better future, but restoring parents’ dignity.

We invite you to join us in “smile-multiplying” once again this year. Together, we can help end the child starvation crisis in India - one goat, one child, one smile - at a time.

ONE LITTLE THING CHANGES EVERYTHING

  I contain 44 historical novels but weigh less than one pound.
I speak every language known to man fluently.
I can be bought for a few dollars but am priceless if given away.
I am one little thing that can change everything.

WHAT AM I???

Curious? Watch the video ...

 


Thrilling news! God is reaching India’s illiterate through you. Today there are still 282 million adult Indians who cannot read or write - but they CAN hear and understand the Good News through Bible storytellers. And KGM, with the help of our local India partners, are determined to see that they do. Working together, we’ve trained another two hundred storytellers. Right now, they are using the Bible Storyscarves you sent, to tell the story of Jesus and His love to people who never before had the chance to hear.

This November we’re on a mission to send out 100 more believers with this one little thing that God is using to change everything for the illiterate in India because
 “…how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent?” (Romans 10: 14-15)e

You can be a part of this amazing movement that's taking the Gospel where it's never gone before by sending a $15 tool called the Bible Story Scarf to a storyteller in India. 

When you put this tool in the hands of a trained, passionate and creative storyteller, just wait. You'll see miracles happen! Thanks to the amazing efforts of our partners, KGM India, the excitement is spreading for this story-scarf-method of sharing the Good News about Jesus.

Our partners have already trained over 2,000 leaders who are right now telling the Christmas story to people who will hear about Jesus for the very first time in 2022. But most of them do not have the Story Scarf to help their listeners better remember each story's details.Your gift of any amount* will purchase as many Bible Story Scarves as possible to equip India's storytellers to reach the lost in their villages. Your gift will ensure that these villagers will finally hear the Gospel in a way they understand. In a way they can receive it. In a way their culture has learned for generations: oral storytelling.

Together, we can transform the future for people who’ve endured life without the Gospel for far too long.

                                              


God Bless You

 *(Suggested gift: $15 / includes shipping to India)
