The Domari are one of the least reached people groups in the world. Located predominantly in the Middle East, they are not officially recognized by governments and are institutionally and socially ignored. They live in closed communities in conditions that are often poor, with little or no access to health care, education or housing.

One of our global workers is actively working to practically share God’s love with this isolated people group by bringing water filtration units to their communities. We want to partner with them and provide the $20,000 necessary to supply the units.

LAND PURCHASE FOR FATHER’S HOUSE CHURCH IN CHIQUINQUIRA, COLOMBIA.
TOTAL COST: $300,000, HOPE CITY IS COMMITTING $25,000

Father’s House church is a church of 300 that is desperately in love with Jesus & Kingdom growth, and has partnered with our global worker, Darren McCrea, in Colombia for multiple seminars, youth events, events in schools and parks and other programs to strengthen the church and reach the community.

A key limitation is their lack of a permanent home. Like most Colombian churches, FHC and its Christian School are in a rented facilities. During Covid, that meant the closure of the school and almost the same for the church. The cost of purchasing land in an urban setting for their church is approximately $300,000 and is a struggle for a church whose average member only makes $350 a month.

PROJECT COST: $280,000 (HOPE CITY IS GAVE $50,000)

We partnered with a PAOC global worker, David Wood, on the construction of a new church building that was needed because they outgrew their current rental facility. We contributed $50,000 of the total $280,000 cost.

One of our global workers in the region have been in the area so long (over 20 years), they have worn out their current vehicle. Cars in the region are very expensive as they are subject to over 100% import duty along with sales taxes and fees that add even more to the cost. A decent roadworthy vehicle will cost them approximately $52,000.
