We would love to see the ministry in central Africa to grow. The needs are great as there are many opportunities. Pray with us that these are fulfilled. We need folks to pray with us that these needs would be fulfilled.

The most useful way that people can support the work is through their giving. We look at such gifts as a sacrifice of your time and talents that can easily be transferred to the mission field where work. Your sweat and hard work are represented in your financial gift. Paul the Apostle referred to in Philippians chapter 1 as "your partnership in the gospel". The church had sent him an offering to help him in his work. If you'd like to send a gift you can do that by sending it to the following address:

AGWM

1445 Boonville Ave

Springfield, MO 65802-1894

Phone: 417-862-2781

Please do not send gifts to us in Africa but use the address in Missouri above. Any gifts should also include a note saying “For Ken and Sue Sawka, Account 243526”.

We suggest that if you do not want to receive other literature from their mission office to include a note saying “No-promotional”.

If you want to use Automated Bank Withdrawals you can set this up by just calling toll free at 1-877-840-4800 or download the form you need at http://ag.org/contributorservices_PDF/CRCDAUTH.pdf

We've recently compiled a list of particular things that are needed in the ministry. You can click here to see that list: Things Needed Now.

One of the greatest needs is for the Lord of the Harvest to send more laborers into the Harvest Field. We need folks to help us here in Zambia as well as in neighboring countries. Contact us if you'd like to learn how you might get involved in fulfilling this need.

There are also many opportunities to train and equip Africans. We are developing a training program and we need office space, classrooms and equipment.

Every Bible translation project needs a laptop computer as well as software programs. Your special gift can help supply these valuable tools to speed up the translation work and making it effective.

Travel in Africa is expensive. Special gifts can help pay for plane tickets for specialized consultants. A visit by a linguistic consultant can be the breakthrough that some projects need in order to "crack the code" which will allow them to write their language effectively. Translation consultants are needed to check that each verse translated is true to original meaning.

After a New Testament or Bible is completed it costs thousands of dollars to finally publish it. Publishing costs can be great but we know that God is able to supply.
