Christian individuals who are being led by God donate to our organization the necessary funds for all these programs. We, in Missions-Connect, Inc., then sends these funds to those organizations that we are working with in Kenya, Cambodia, India and other places to be used in accomplishing the goals established with them. In return, they send us documentation on how the funds were used and distributed. All that information goes into our website (www.missionsconnect.com) where the donors can see how the funds are used. In 2022, our nonprofit organization, Mission-Connect, Inc. helped 55 orphans in the ministry of Cambodia Baptist Union with their schooling, feeding, clothing and some of them to complete their education and prepare for work. And we also helped Cambodia Baptist Union in their ministry to feed hungry people who were left jobless during this time of pandemic. In India, we worked with Gospel for Nations, Inc. for the year 2022 in providing wheel chairs, blankets, walkers, walking sticks, cots, fans, and daily food for a great number of lepers in the 16 leprosy colonies this organization ministers to. We also provided funds to Gospel for Nation for their ministry to feed the hungry in their community during the years of the pandemic. In Kenya we worked with Pastor Calistus in his ministry to poor abandoned widows with their housing, medical needs, and food. We also helped Pastor Calistus as he oversees the schooling and support of about 10 orphans; and he also helps many hungry people in his ministry to feed the needy especially jobless people because of the pandemic. We provided help for many poor church people in Cuba and we helped newly arrived immigrant families. Finally we sent funds to help poor elderly people in Israel. 54928 55073 55073 Elina D Garcia President/Director 15 0 0 0 Beverly M McGahee Vice President/Director 1 0 0 0 Magda M Kaminski Secretary/Director 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 FL Elina D Garcia 4323 74th RD N Riviera Beach FL 33404 5616028978 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 36287 38087 37182 46673 54928 213157 36287 38087 37182 46673 54928 213157 171276 41881 213157 0.19648 0.17515 X Explanation for Part II line 17a Missions-Connect, Inc. has been working with Christian organizations in Third World nations for more than 18 years assisting them in their ministries to the needy, the poor, the sick, the lepers, the poor abandoned widows, the orphans, and poor church people.
