MISSIONARY SUPPORT, AMNA is very committed in the support of missionaries and their families. Whether in providing men and women on the mission field with resources needed or supporting the family left behind at home, our goal is to provide resources for the missionaries in attaining their goal. Families are the foundation of a strong community and are essential to a healthy society, hence, AMNA serves as support in various areas like Education, Training, Counseling and other social services as needed by families. Most of these missionaries are reaching and transforming communities while wives and children are going through challenges at home. In doing the aforementioned, AMNA enables men and women in the mission field not only to serve but to be strengthened and attain their full potential. In 2017 AMNA participated in visit to various countries on fact-finding missions, to assess the needs and possibility of investing in community projects there. The visit to GABON was a tremendous success and included visits to two orphanages, where a refrigerator and cash was donated to the orphanage. A medical and sports outreach was held and food items were donated to widows in the church community

Basupu-Fishtown Borehole Project, Equatorial Guinea- This project commenced after an assessment visit by AMNA to the capital city of Malabo, situated on the island of Bioko, Equatorial Guinea. There was water everywhere but none to drink and for sanitary. AMNA fact-finding visit brought to light the fact that the majority of people in this country live on less than a dollar a day in slums with no running or pipe-borne water. The United Nations estimates that less than half of the population have access to clean drinking water. AMNA therefore decided to sink a borehole in this country to impact and change lives affected in at least one community. Areas of Focus: Health, Compassion and Empowerment. Impact: The target of this project was to improve the health and quality of lives of the people in the community by providing clean pipe-born water. The impact of this project has been the alleviation of and reduction in communicable diseases from drinking and using clean water for sanitary purposes. A greater impact will be recorded in the lives of children in the community, when a proposed school is located within reach of clean water. AMNA completed this project in 2017 in the capital city of Malabo, situated on the island of Bioko in Equatorial Guinea.

NORTHERN AFRICA FEED THE POOR PROJECT IN ETHIOPIA This project commenced January 2016 to touch specific lives of 250 orphans and vulnerable children and 10 missionaries in in Sub-Sahara Africa. This group was identified by the Regional coordinator for this region and the need assessment was communicated to Africa missions North America. AMNA embarked on a 12 month monthly support of this region. The support was include but not limited to Ethiopian food daily as their food is very different peculiar and is cooked in a very different way. The cooking is done by the female staff of the Regional Office. They have chosen to do this as their own contribution towards poverty alleviation. They were provided with the main Ethiopian diet but ensure that each meal is rich and healthy. June will be our third month of the feeding proper. The food costs us the whole $500 that was why we had to first purchase the coking utensils with the food portion for the first two funds inflow. The 10 missionaries were provided with $50 monthly as a livelihood support effort.
