Global Compassion Fund
COVID-19 Pandemic: Help Us Provide Relief
About
Join us in meeting practical and urgent needs around the world.
Motivated by the love of Christ, for more than 45 years we as the Brethren in Christ (BIC) family have come together to address international natural disasters, humanitarian aid crises, and extreme poverty.
We work hand in hand with international Brethren in Christ churches — together meeting needs restoratively. Our close relationships with local churches and partners, in some cases spanning more than 100 years, enable us to quickly and effectively aid people who need help most.
In the last 5 years, we have provided immediate, life-giving resources to people in 12 countries, showing the love of Christ tangibly around the world.
Note: Formerly the “World Hunger Fund,” the ministry began in 1974 to provide hunger relief in countries with a BIC presence.

A severe drought left many in Zambia facing extreme famine. From September 2019 through April 2020, we provided much needed relief to at-risk families throughout Southern Province, where Macha Hospital is located.
To date, we’ve distributed 1,850 bags (over 50 pounds each) of corn meal and 450 bags (over 20 pounds each) of corn seed across the region. These supplies helped alleviate immediate hunger needs and provided resources for next season’s harvest.
