The Sudan Project is a cooperative effort between the congregation and friends of Ginghamsburg Church, the displaced persons of the Darfur region in Sudan, and the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR). One hundred percent of all funds given to The Sudan Project directly benefit the intended recipients, the displaced persons living in Darfur. Over the last two years (3 Christmas Seasons), Ginghamsburg Church has provided $1.8 million to benefit the people of Darfur. This effort to date has provided the tools, seed, and training to feed over 65,000 children, women, and men; 90 schools and 190 teachers providing education and a lunch to nearly 15,000 students daily; and clean drinking water for nearly 250,000 people and their livestock. All of this has been accomplished in what many consider to be a death zone. There is always hope where God’s people determine to make a difference. Are you interested in becoming a part of this miracle effort?

Operation Hero Miles was created in October, 2003. When started, the program allowed troops stationed in Iraq or Afghanistan to fly home on leave for free. It now gives family members of wounded servicemen and women free plane tickets to visit their loved ones recovering at military hospitals across the country. Operation Hero Miles gives ordinary citizens an opportunity to help our troops in a very direct way that makes a real difference in their lives.
