2012 LENTEN OFFERING: Indonesia Outreach
WHAT IS SHE IS SAFE?
She Is Safe (SIS) works to restore the lives of abused and exploited women and girls in high-risk places, and then equips and empowers them to change their families and communities. SIS intervenes through practical grassroots programs of rescue, health and hygiene, education, economic empowerment and spiritual development.
In the U.S., through the SIS Advocacy Program, people are equipped to take action on the hard-hitting issues least reached women and girls face: child marriage, malnutrition, illiteracy, poverty, and exploitation. SIS advocacy program trains and deploys volunteers across the nation as passionate advocates and intercessors for best practice interventions.
She Is Safe believes that the salvation of lost people depends completely on regeneration by the Holy Spirit. The world's most impoverished and abused women and children also live in the areas that are the least reached by the gospel. It is only when the souls of these women are restored into a relationship with Jesus that they will truly be empowered to change their own lives and the lives of their children, families, and communities.
Your FPCSM Global Missions Team encourages you to prayerfully consider how you can support this year's Lenten Project.
One of our primary goals is that unreached people in distant places will come to show Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, and that this will generate a multiplication of people saved. As part of this work, people will be fed, clothes and healed in the name of Jesus. In support of these goals, the Global Missions Team has focused primarily on those unreached people who live in the band of nations that stretches from West Africa to East Asia, and includes 88% of those people in the world who are unreached by the gospel.
Another focus of the GMT is ministry to Muslim countries and communities. The work that She Is Safe is doing in Indonesia, the world's largest Muslim country, fits with each of these ministry goals embraced by the Global Missions Team, and we are excited to have found such an amazing ministry partner in this organization.

Transformation groups make it possible for one woman to affect not only her own family, but also the community around her with positive change. Currently there are 1600 women waiting to join the She Is Safe transformation group program in Indonesia. Our offering will allow the program to expand and meet this need.

RANCHO SANTA MARTA
Rancho Santa Marta is a non-denominational Evangelical Christian Ministry for needy Mexican children. It is located on a 450 acre ranch, about 60 miles south of Ensenada in Baja, California. Projects that we will work on will be based on the skill sets of those traveling to the ranch but likely include vacation Bible camp type activities and facilities projects.
