Jamaa Letu Orphanges

Recently, one of the girls in residence at the Jamaa Letu orphanage needed to be hospitalized for an on-going medical issue. Eric Sparkman shares how your church's support of the annual Jars for Jamaa Letu effort can make a difference when situations like this arise. Together, we can turn a little change into a big difference!

This year's labels for the annual 'jar' fundraiser to support the orphanages of Jamaa Letu in Lubumbashi, in the Democratic Republic of Congo are now available. Directions are provided for local churches and individuals seeking to support this important, life-giving, ministry.
