Serve the World
There are so many people around the world in need of our help. Poverty, disease and injustice exist on a scale that can be hard to comprehend. But even from the comfort of our own lives, we can do God's work around the globe.
There are big and small ways to get involved in global missions. How can you serve?

Heifer Foundation
The Heifer Foundation is a favorite global mission. The children of St. Luke have raised money for goats, cows and other livestock purchased through Heifer International. For people in developing nations, livestock are the foundation for building wealth and self-sufficiency. Watch for special Heifer drives at St. Luke, or visit Heifer.org directly to learn more.
Chikumbuso Women and Orphans project
Chikumbuso, a grassroots project in Ng’ombe, Zambia, provides an alternative lifestyle to the most vulnerable women and children in the township that has been heavily affected by HIV and AIDS.
Chikumbuso provides free schooling for the children, as well as vocational training for young adults in the community who have gone on to start their own businesses.
Chikumbuso also provides adult training, capacity building, income generating activities and community building programs for the widows.
Sales of handcrafted items made by the women of Chikumbuso, sponsorship of vulnerable children and donations are some of the ways St. Luke members have contributed to this mission since 2007. Currently St. Luke sponsors two young girls and contributes to the college fund of a third. Several individual members of St. Luke sponsor children as well.
