Project For Hope welcomes FCA Gainesville to serve families in our community
Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) is a global sports ministry dedicated to uniting coaches and athletes in faith, equipping them to make a lasting impact in their communities. At the University of Florida, FCA fosters a loving and joyful environment where athletes of all skill levels can compete, build meaningful fellowship, and ultimately grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus.
While this trip is not officially through FCA, every member of our team has been shaped by the values and love of Christ instilled by our involvement with FCA at the University of Florida. We are incredibly blessed to partner with Project for Hope in making this mission trip a reality. It is an honor to be the hands and feet of Jesus in Guatemala, serving His people and advancing His Kingdom.
Project for Hope is dedicated to empowering widows and single mothers in our community by offering economic opportunities, emotional assistance, and lasting friendships. Our mission focuses on helping individuals regain their footing and independence. Through various programs and initiatives, we share the life-changing love of Christ to see lives transformed for His glory.
We have several projects that require funding for this trip. The cost to build a new kitchen is $950, and our aim is to complete between 2 to 4 kitchens. Additionally, the cost for paint and materials for the widow's home is $1,500.
This house is used for emergency housing for widows, it can house two families. Currently Erica and her two sons live here. It is over 30 years old and is deteriorating and in need of a makeover.
Isabel is an older widow who cooks her meals in a kitchen with a dirt floor. Years of cooking with an open fire have affected her lungs. We would like to construct a new basic kitchen with a smokeless high efficiency stove, concrete floor and sunlight.
Alma is a single mother living with her two children and her widowed father. She is in need of a covered kitchen, smokeless high efficiency stove and protection from the elements.
