Sharing the Gospel and Love of Christ with People of Diverse Cultures
And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Rev. 21:5
40 years ago, Wheaton College track and football coach Don Church believed an ordinary man obeying the Voice of Jesus could bring "Heaven onto Earth". Don wanted Timothy Project to help other humble servants of Christ launch their own organizations and God to get all the glory. We continue this legacy today.
LAUNCH OF
PRINTSTAR, AFRICA'S 1ST WEBPRESS BIBLE PRODUCTION CENTER IN NAIROBI
Timothy Project has for years been supporting the distribution of Tigrinya Bibles in northern Ethiopia. In view of an estimated 500 million Christians throughout Africa without a Bible, God has led us to expand our outreach by helping our Kenyan sister Alice Ruhiu to launch PrintStar, Africa's 1st Bible webpress production center in Nairobi with mission 'A Bible for Every Home'. LORD-willing, an inaugural ceremony will be held on PrintStar's campus on June 6, 2026. Please contact Pastor Paul (630)209-5637 for more info.

LAUNCH OF
SHALOM REHABILITATION CENTER and SPECIAL PFUMVUDZA FARMING METHOD NEAR MEKELLE
The Shalom Center was ortiginally the Hope Center orphanage, childhood home of two of our Board memebrs. We thank God for granting the completion of repairs to the main residential facility of the Shalom Center in May 2025. A cluster of 6 NGO's in Mekelle, launched a pilot residential drug rehabilitation program with 11 residents and 27 staff in Fall 2025. A second group of 12 residents were admitted in Feb 2026. A new farming method has been implemented at the Shalom Center with a hope to improve food security for roughly 6 million people in the Tigray region. Please text Dr. Paul (630)885-8627 for more info.

LAUNCH OF
ELNABI HOLISTIC MINISTRY IN ADDIS AND MEKELLE
God granted our Ethiopian brother Samuel Estifanos to launch this ministry early in 2025 with an office in Addis Ababa to train staff to provide home-based care for families with autistic children. The outreach has been extended to the Tigray region where there were no services to support autistic children. If you are interested to partner in this important work, please visit Elnabi's crowdfunding campaign or contact Shep (805)621-8968 for more info.

LAUNCH OF
ALULA'S DREAM FOUNDATION'S PILOT PRIMARY SCHOOL PROJECT IN NEBELET
In April 2023, Timothy Project received a $23,300 grant for Emergency School Kits. We used this grant to deliver 100 blackboards, 6000 pencils and notebooks to the Embasneyti school district with 6000 children. Alula's Dream Foundation is now responding to a request from Nebelet officials to contruct an elementary school to alleviate severe overcrowding (100 students crammed into a room designed for 50 students). LORD-willing the new school will open in Fall 2026 with 800 students. Please contact Tesfai (630)698-5611 for more info.
