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 2021, 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 2021 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 this year 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. 46673 46104 46104 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 35037 36287 38087 37182 46673 193266 35037 36287 38087 37182 46673 193266 159416 33850 193266 0 0.17515 0.1883 X Missions-Connect, Inc. has been working with Christian organizations in Third World nations (India, Cambodia, Kenya, and others) for more than 17 years assisting them in their ministries to the needy, the poor, the sick, the lepers, the widows, the orphans, and poor churches.
