Instead of Flowers...Sheri's Memorial FundOn Sunday, July 20, 2025, Sheri transitioned from the light and momentary troubles of this world to eternal glory, surrounded by loving family and caregivers. Memorial contributions will be given to buy goats to provide income for destitute families who live in the Sahara. In particular, we have a family with multiple handicapped who have recently lost their breadwinner. A milk-giving goat costs $200, and we'd like to give 4 or 5 to this family to have sustainable revenue.

Entrusting Others trains leaders and builds communities in strategic locations. We work in creative ways where others can’t. We focus particularly on training people in local languages and cultures where not many people can read or write. Entrusting Others specializes in accompanying leaders as they help others, while passing on the baton of responsibility. The successful materials and methods we pioneered are being used in more than 40 countries. We are proud partners with World Renewal (since 2008) and TMS Global.

TRAINING LEADERS
Supporting the Director of Entrusting Others helps hold the whole network together. Guarding indigenous ministry against intrusions created a $25,000 deficit. Your monthly pledges can eliminate that deficit, while special gifts can move our account into the black.
Our Arab training coordinator was a principal in Syria before war drove her into exile. Now she devotes her teaching skills to preparing the courses she co-teaches with a respected Arab colleague, while she offers support and counsel to the leaders being trained.
You can assist our Syrian worker to raise the downpayment of $80,000 that she needs to buy her home. Our Arab training coordinator performs her work each day, knowing that she is the breadwinner for her clan, while facing daily fear of losing her refugee status and being deported. A home for her will secure her retirement, as well as her citizenship. $57,500 is pledged to date.
Our online leadership training is a big part of our work, requiring secure communications with a managed website in order to protect our users and team members from extremists and government overreach. We use secure mobile devices, recent computers with the latest updates. We continually monitor vulnerabilities. $10,000 will let us add computers and put our videos behind an appropriate security wall.
Our Broadcasting Coordinator creates winsome internet programs in many African dialects. A training center is in the works to include a media production facility that will fill the program pipeline for the broadcasting network. Follow up workers answer questions from listeners, and channel them into house groups. Strong Face to Face training solidifies and continues the pipeline. The Broadcasting Coordinator and his family need advocates and is developing his monthly support: please contact us if you are interested in partnering with this exciting opportunity.
Could you imagine having an opportunity to assist people by the thousands in recovering from the wounds of war? John is transforming lives on a grand scale in a place no one else has figured out how to touch. Will you stand with John in his vision?

BUILDING COMMUNITIES
In desert nomadic cultures, anything of value comes on a camel's back. The Nomad leads a community of traders who offer pearls of great price to their people in culturally appropriate ways. The North Highway presently under construction will change nomadic civilization in dramatic ways over the next five years. Our North Highway strategy will aid the northern half of the nation as they adjust to these changes.
Our Arab leader's passion for literacy has created a heritage of scores and hundreds whose lives have been transformed through reading and writing. Our investment in this proven leader empowers him to develop a network of leaders to transform their own desert towns and oases.
Workskills training empowers women to feed their children and send them to school. Often from nomadic backgrounds and removed from their families, many of these women feel trapped in a desperate struggle to survive. Workskills training gives them dignity and self-sufficiency for their family.
Learning to read and write:
1. Adds dignity to people's lives 2. Prepares cultural leaders for formal education 3. Allows people to read their own religious texts 4. Preserves cultures against external domination 
Entrusting Others works with community leaders to find sustainable solutions for the least among us. For some, buying goats or an ox creates a stream of revenue that permits caregivers to take care of their children. For others, emergency food is needed until sustainable options kick in. Your contribution also supports families torn apart by the legal system, as they are working to be reunited.
Work skills training helps keep vulnerable youth out of exploitative labor. Investing in the trade school helps fund the work of the Principal, who leads a growing community that did not exist 15 years ago. $5,000 can set up a workshop for a special skill set in the trade school, like woodworking, metalworking, secretarial skills, or computer lab.
Not everyone enjoys the freedoms we do. We assist leaders and their people who have been arrested and must defend themselves in court in countries that do not share the freedoms we enjoy. When our legal experts can exert pressure in the right place to see someone arrested for their beliefs walk free, we give thanks!
