Proprietary FAIR Programs

What are they?

Proprietary FAIR programs are relief projects and sustainable aid programs that alleviate suffering, empower others, and do not create dependency. Our Fellowship International missionaries oversee these initiatives that are based on a need in their ministry context. The projects can be ongoing in nature or have a specific end goal or date in mind.

Winter 2016 - FAIR propitary projectWhy do we have them?

For our missionaries such initiatives are the fruit of the Gospel and also create opportunity for Gospel proclamation. These initiatives provide a way to gain credibility. We have seen a need and want to be Christ’s hands and feet!

Our God is a God who cares for the suffering, the needy, and the abandoned. He models what we, His followers, need to be. FAIR (Fellowship Aid and International Relief), offers you the opportunity to be all that God wants you to be as it relates to showing compassion to a needy world.
    
How can churches get involved?
