Giving the Gift of Community

  • by

For every purpose and occasion, sharing is the perfect gift. A tribute  donation is a meaningful way to honor someone special in your life. Please consider using our “Giving the Gift of Community” certificates to make a tax deductible donation in lieu of material gifts in honor of a family member, a friend, a colleague or a client. It’s a unique and thoughtful way to honor someone this Christmas.

Below, we have listed various Grace Klein Community outreaches and a description of each. Simply click on the “Donate” link beside the outreach of your choice and enter the amount you would like to contribute. Click the recurring donation check box if you would like to create a recurring (monthly) donation. You’ll have the option to either pay via credit card or to log in to Paypal.

Once you have completed the donation process, click on the link provided for the honor certificate . Enter the full name, amount contributed and personal message for the person you wish to honor. Print and mail the certificate to your loved one telling them about your generous gift in their honor as a special way to celebrate this Christmas.

Adoption Support

Grace Klein Community assists in providing orphaned children with forever families through costs such as airline tickets, translators and agency fees. All adoption support is paid directly to the vendor (such as airlines and agencies) for integrity of the fund usage. Inevitably, when we share our lives we become emotionally vulnerable to one another. Transparency challenges us to surpass our human limits and learn to be who we truly are in Christ. These are some the typical costs for an adoptive family:

  • $8,000-$10,000 Agency/Facilitator fees
  • $6,000-$8,000 Home Study and Dossier Preparation Fees
  • $4,000-$6,000 Travel
  • $4,000-$10,000 Stay in country

Working alongside ZIMM (Zion International Mission Ministries) we focus on community development, computer infrastructure, encouragement to teachers and Christian education. We work directly with the locals in construction projects, community outreaches and children’s ministry.

Paul and Tracey Sims are missionaries serving in Progresso, Belize.  Living there full-time since September of 2012, they answered God’s call to work in the churches, preaching, teaching and discipling young men and women to become leaders in spreading the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Also burdened with the severe poverty of many families, they work closely with pastors and other locals teaching life skills and initiating programs that will provide income for their families. These are some of the ongoing costs associated with ministry in Belize:
