ARI Christmas Special Donation
Your Seeds of Hope empower the dreams of rural leaders worldwide
The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.
ARI participants in the class of 2023 celebrated their graduation ceremony on Saturday, December 9, and returned to their home countries with their dreams in their hearts.
Your support will become Seeds of Hope that will be carried with the graduates to the rural areas in each country, and their work will create hope for more and more people.
As Christmas approaches, we invite you to entrust your Seeds of Hope with ARI’s enthusiastic participants.
Your donation will be used to help ARI participants from Asia, Africa, and other countries pay their travel and tuition fees, as well as monthly living expenses such as dormitory fees and food. We ask for your support for ARI’s work to develop grassroots rural development servant leaders, creating broad impact around the world.
