Leviticus 26:8 - Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.

How can I help?

There is something special about working together to reach a common goal; to achieve victory for the kingdom. Scripture tells us over and over again about the multiplication that God releases through unity and diversity in His family. The word university comes from these to concepts, unity and diversity; uniting together, combining our different strengths, our different gifts, to accomplish so much more then we are able to accomplish separately.

Not everyone can travel to Africa, but everyone can do something to touch those in need, even if they’re an ocean away. You can become part of Sonshine Ministries International by giving of your time to help the poorest of the poor, right here at home!
