Next Gen Asia
Noi and Doug live in the Joplin area and are part-time missionaries in Noi's home country of Laos. They have been traveling back and forth between the States and Laos due to persecution for sharing the Gospel. Laos is in the top 10 countries in the world with the most unreached peoples with over 140 different tribes that don't know the Gospel and only 3% of the population is Christian. Next Gen Asia is dedicated to empowering young leaders in Laos through discipleship, education, and vocational training. They are in the process of building a safe house for the poor, marginalized, and impoverished people to be able to provide healing through sharing the Gospel, providing education, nutritional meals, and safe housing. We have the opportunity to partner with Noi and Doug and reach the lost for Christ by helping fund a portion of their building project. We are raising funds to cover the cost of the following items:
Two counter tops for the building and labor $1000
One counter top for the kitchen $1400
One cupboard for the kitchen $300
Setting up electricity in the kitchen $500
Drive way from the front of the building to the kitchen $4000
Plumbing for the kitchen $500
Two office tables and two chairs $300
Two closets for staff $200
One big kitchen table $200
One couch for the meeting room $300
