Who We Are and What We Do:

 PHASE ONE: 

church signThe church of Christ in New Iberia, Louisiana began production of the “In Light of the Word” television ministry in February of 2004 as a means of reaching southern Louisiana with the Gospel of Christ. The original intent was to provide an effectual means whereby we could reach the local population of this area with the Gospel of Christ and offer a better understanding of God’s Word. We are dedicated to teaching people how to study the Bible in a simple, clear, and concise way! We began production “In Light of the Word” in 2004. Initially, we were trying to reach fifteen parishes (counties) in southern Louisiana with God’s Word. There was the potential of reaching over One Million Eight Hundred Thousand homes every week! The response was almost overwhelming. With God’s help, we have been able to expand this ministry.

 PHASE TWO:

In June of 2006 we broadened the audience of “In Light of the Word” by the establishment of a web-based ministry. We have a call upon our hearts to bring discipleship materials to everyone who needs them here and overseas. And we need your help!

We soon launched a website to make receiving the material easier for the viewing public. This is when God really started to use us. Our website requests come to us from all over the world! The entire United States, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, the Ukraine, South America, Australia, India, etc., and the list has grown to over sixty four countries around the world. From September 2009 through October 2010, we receive over 16,483,545 (yes, that’s over SIXTEEN MILLION) hits on our website and the requests for our material are staggering!  

PHASE THREE:

The church of Christ in New Iberia is taking this opportunity to develop a benevolent fund designed to make a difference in the lives of people around the world. This phase of our growth program involves partnering with missionaries from around the word – and YOU. Your donations will go directly toward providing medical attention, food and clean water to thousands of people less fortunate than you.

 The chart to the right shows how your contribution will be spent. There are NO administrative fees going toward large salaries or huge buildings.

 Please note that the 3% PayPal fee depicts the amount of funds taken by PayPal for their services.

 Remember, sympathy is not a substitute for action. Your donation will go directly to people throughout the world who desperately need you help.

OUR PROJECTS

The Raven Project, The Jacob’s Well Project, and the SonLife Project will help to change the lives of people throughout the world. This is an opportunity to work in harmony with missionaries and evangelists to meet the needs of the lost.

The Raven Project  

Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes. That's one child every five seconds. Malnutrition is an underlying key factor for many of the diseases children die of. For example, if a malnourished child dies of tuberculosis, did it starve? Not literally --- however, it only got the tuberculosis because of the lack of food. The Raven Project partners with missionaries worldwide to provide nourishing food to starving people. You can make a difference - Please help support this worthy task of feeding the hungry. After all, The gospel is only good news if it gets there in time.


Jacob’s Well Project 
bacteria The Jacob’s Well Project works in cooperation with missionaries around the globe to drill clean water wells for villiages and communities suffering from a lack of clean water. World Health Organization, diarrheal disease accounts for an estimated 4.1% of the total daily global burden of disease and is responsible for the deaths of 1.8 million people every year. Water-related diseases are the most common cause of illness and death among the poor of developing countries. Waterborne diseases are caused by pathogenuc microorganisms which are directly transmitted when contaminated fresh water is consumed. Waterborne disease can be caused by protozoa, viruses, or bacteria, many of which are intestinal parasites. As a result, more than 2,500 children are dying each day. Contaminated fresh water, used in the preparation of food, can be the source of foodborne disease through consumption of the same microorganisms. Your donation will make a difference. Help us drill fresh water wells throughout the world. Remember, And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of these little ones because he is my disciple, I tell you the truth, he will certainly not lose his reward.” (Matthew 10:42)

 SonLife

 The SonLife program exists to provide medical care in underserved and vulnerable communities around the world to improve the health, wellness, medical relief and quality of life of those populations most in need. This is done through short term medical mission trips where volunteers give their time and services for the medical relief of the developing world. We provide medical relief in areas where health care is limited or difficult to obtain and in disaster areas.

Why Should You Donate To This Ministry?

 First, there is the need to follow the great commission of Christ: “

 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:18-20).

In Light of the Word Television and Web based Outreach Ministry helps to accomplish this goal. By offering a wide array of Bible based material, evangelists, and students throughout the world have FREE access to God’s Word. Thousands of people are being lead to Christ through this ministry.


Secondly, there is the need for people to see the love Jesus through His followers:

“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in,  I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me’ (Matthew 25:34-36).

The Raven Project, The Jacob’s Well Project, and the SonLife Project will help to change the lives of people throughout the world. This is an opportunity to work in harmony with missionaries and evangelists to meet the needs of the lost in their areas of work.

Thirdly, Reaching the world is costly in today’s economy. No one church can do it all. However, Christians from all over the world can MAKE a DIFFERENCE! Even small congregations and individuals can take a part in this God-glorifying endeavor:

 “This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else” (2 Corinthians 9:12-13).

 So, please help us by making a financial contribution. You can be assured that all donations received will go toward reaching a lost world. Help us with our sincere evangelistic endeavor to show the world JESUS. Please, make a financial contribution to a work that counts.

 So, please join with us in this evangelistic endeavor to show JESUS to the world. Make a financial contribution today. All donations received will go toward reaching a lost world.
