We'll also have Nigerien jewelry, carvings, and batik items for sale with all proceeds benefitting the Coalition and its ministries. This is a

You can check in during whichever worship service you don't attend, during Coffee Fellowship, and right after the 11:00am worship service. See below for more information.

Remember Niger "Marketplace" @ JIPC, July 12
| |
|
Representatives of the Remember Niger Coalition will be with us next Sunday to worship with us and meet you. They will al so have various items of jewelry, accessories, and Nigerien art for sale. All proceeds go directly to the Remember Niger Coalition. Q. What is the Remember Niger Coalition?
A. The mission of the Remember Niger Coalition is to unify people and mobilize resources in order to expand quality educational opportunities in Niger. We are unique in that we partner with and support Nigeriens who have a remarkable vision for their country.
The leaders of a Christian denomination in Niger, the EERN, are in the process of creating a private school system in order to transform their country spiritually, socially and economically. Each of them has been impacted and changed by Christian education and recognizes its transformative power. They currently run five primary schools.
We Serve
- The members of the EERN, who have a clear, long-range plan to expand quality educational opportunities in Niger by creating an education system.
- Individuals, groups, organizations and churches committed to working in unity to accomplish our common purpose.
How We Accomplish Our Mission
- The vision and plan for the Christian school system stems from Nigeriens who "own" and have a large stake in the project. Partners can be confident that their contributions will be used prudently.
- Remember Niger assists the leaders of the EERN in setting priorities and coordinates support accordingly. Partners can be certain that their contributions and participation will be fruitful and effective.
- Remember Niger is a small non-profit organization. This allows partners to tailor their funding, see the impact it has through updates, presentations and cultural exchanges, as well as have a direct relationship with their partners in Niger, if desired.
- Remember Niger continually recruits new partners, which multiplies the impact of existing support.
