How does My Gift For Jesus Work?

What is My Gift for Jesus?

Our December challenge to give a gift to Jesus during this Christmas season by helping children who live in extreme poverty in Kenya and Nicaragua.

How Can I Get Involved?

Choose your level of engagement:

  • GIVE: Start by making a life changing donation. Monthly sponsorship is just $25. You can give weekly, monthly or annually.

  • PRAY: Stop by the missions booth after a weekend service and pick up a prayer card for Nicaragua or a Kenyan child. Hang them in a spot to remind you to pray for these ministries. Not able to make it to one of our campuses in December? No problem. Email us at missions@foxriverchristian.org and we’ll get them to you.

  • CONNECT: Write letters to the Kenyan child on your prayer card or write an encouraging note to one of our partners in Nicaragua. Visit our Connect page to get started.

You can get involved through sponsorship here. Your pledge helps us to plan for the work we will be able to do in the year ahead.

 How Do I Give?

  • Give online through Fox River’s website. Be sure to use the space marked for My Gift for Jesus.

  • Place cash or check in the offering during a weekend service. Be sure it is marked for My Gift for Jesus.

  • Mail a check to Fox River (S46 W24130 Lawnsdale Road, Waukesha, WI 53189) or drop off at the church office. Be sure it is marked for My Gift for Jesus.

 What Does Fox River Do in Kenya and Nicaragua?

Kenya: we partner with local churches to offer a great Christian education that will give these young people the opportunity to know God and break the cycle of poverty in their family and community.

  • Fully sponsor 2 schools with about 800 students from preschool through middle school and 80 staff members. This includes all school supplies, 2 meals on school days, and basic health care.

  • About 120 students sponsored in our partner high school.

  • Clean water for the community surrounding the school.

  • Farm project to supplement the feeding program.

  • Adult literacy classes.

  • A rescue center that provides a loving home for children who have been abandoned.

Nicaragua: we partner with the local church in La Esmeralda to provide healthcare in a remote location where no healthcare in available.

  • A clinic staffed with a doctor that sees hundreds of patients each month.

  • The clinic specializes in prenatal care and this year we were able to furnish it with a birthing suite.

  • Beyond the physical care, the pastor and staff share the gospel and minister to the needs of the soul.

We also support a sports ministry that gives an outlet for hundreds of children and teens to engage in wholesome activities and hear about Jesus.

To all those who give and pray we would like to say THANK YOU, ASANTE, GRACIAS! We would not be able to make this impact on the world without you. Our partners in both Kenya and Nicaragua want you to know they are so grateful for your love and generosity towards them.
