Choose your level of engagement:

  • GIVE: Start by making a life changing donation. Monthly sponsorship is just $25. You can give weekly, monthly or annually.

  • PRAY: Stop by the missions booth after a weekend service and pick up a prayer card for Nicaragua or a Kenyan child. Hang them in a spot to remind you to pray for these ministries. Not able to make it to one of our campuses in December? No problem. Email us at missions@foxriverchristian.org and we’ll get them to you.

  • CONNECT: Write letters to the Kenyan child on your prayer card or write an encouraging note to one of our partners in Nicaragua. Visit our Connect page to get started.

  • GO: Join us on one of the summer mission trips to Kenya or Nicaragua to see first hand what God is doing through your life changing donations. See our Trips page for more information on each trip or to sign up.

What Does Fox River Do in Kenya and Nicaragua?

Kenya: we partner with local churches to offer a great Christian education that will give these young people the opportunity to know God and break the cycle of poverty in their family and community.

  • Fully sponsor 2 schools with about 770 students from preschool through middle school and 80 staff members. This includes all school supplies, 2 meals on school days, and basic health care.

  • About 120 students sponsored in our partner high school.

  • Clean water for the community surrounding the school.

  • Farm project to supplement the feeding program.

  • Adult literacy classes.

  • A rescue center that provides a loving home for children who have been abandoned.

Nicaragua: we partner with the local church in La Esmeralda to provide healthcare in a remote location where no healthcare in available.

  • A clinic staffed with a doctor that sees hundreds of patients each month.

  • The clinic specializes in prenatal care and will soon be furnished with an updated birthing suite.

  • Beyond the physical care, the pastor and staff share the gospel and minister to the needs of the soul.

  • The sports ministry gives an outlet for hundreds of children and teens to engage in wholesome activities and hear about Jesus.
