Happy New Year!

As we look forward to the New Year in the coming days, we want to recognize all the good that has been done this year.


We are thankful for all of our volunteers and donors who have made all of the work of Midwest Mission happen. We look forward with hope – hope that Christ will touch the lives of everyone we serve and everyone who serves, hope that everyone who receives a Midwest Mission item will also receive hope that comes only from Christ, and hope that the New Year will come with new blessings, in many different forms.

2022 Giving


Because of your generosity of time and resources, we are able to do what we do.

This year, there were several disasters, and we started a number of different campaigns to improve our facility and to make our mission more efficient.


For every $1 spent, we sent out $7.93 of in-kind supplies!

This infographic shows how much money was given for each of our campaigns.


We are SO grateful for your generosity. Thank YOU!

Give the Gift of Hope this New Year

In the Old Testament, prophets had hope for a Messiah that would come and be the Savior of the world.


That promise was fulfilled, and we have hope that he will come again.


Our hope of a future with Christ is what drives us to live lives worthy of the calling we have received. We aim to live out Christ's love every day, and are dedicated to sharing the hope found in Christ through humanitarian aid and serving.


Hope can seem distant in a dark world, but we know Christ is the light that moves us forward. If we can give people a little bit of hope - through needed resources, a community of service-minded people, or the knowledge that someone is praying for you - we will do that as much as we can.


We invite you to partner with Midwest Mission in giving the gifts of love, joy, peace, and hope to those around the world and around the corner.


$12 provides the gift of hope by supplying a child abroad with a Student Kit.


You can also give in someone else's name. Instead of a traditional present, give a monetary gift to Midwest Mission in their name, and present them with this downloadable gift tag to show them the gift of hope was made in their honor.


Whether you are giving monetarily, or through Christlike actions, together we are perpetuating the gift of hope that comes from Christ while we are here on earth.


May the beautiful gifts of hope, love, peace, and joy be blessings over you this New Year and always!

Prayers to Lift Up


This week, join us in praying this prayer for the New Year*:


"O God, your days are without beginning and without end.

We dedicate this coming year to you.


Give us such prosperity as you know is good for us,

and make us abound in doing whatever is pleasing to you;

through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen"



"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

Proverbs 3:5-6
