The Cost of a Cup of Coffee: How $5 a Day Transforms Lives

It’s easy to overlook what $5 can do. Maybe it’s your morning coffee, a snack, or a forgotten subscription. But when placed in the hands of a local missionary, $5 a day becomes a powerful tool in the hands of God—fueling Kingdom work, restoring broken communities, and carrying the message of the resurrection to places where Jesus has never been named.

This Easter, as we reflect on the miracle of Christ’s resurrection, we remember that it didn’t just change the course of history—it launched the mission of the Church. That mission continues today through our network of over 540 local missionaries. They are boldly living out the call to make disciples of all nations—often in the hardest, most overlooked places in the world.

And you can be part of their story.

For just $5 a day—$150 a month—you can equip and sustain one missionary as they make their community look more like the Kingdom of God.

Here’s how your faithful giving makes a lasting difference:

1. A Meal to Keep Them Going

In difficult and remote regions, having a daily meal means having the strength to keep going—mentally, physically, and spiritually.

Real Impact: In Kopsiro, Kenya, Philip serves the very community where he grew up facing poverty, addiction, and violence. After encountering the transformative power of the gospel, he planted a church and now leads prayer gatherings for those struggling with alcoholism. Twenty people have since turned from addiction. He’s also leading a movement to end female genital mutilation in his village. Your $5 helps fuel Philip’s daily ministry—addressing deep spiritual and social wounds with hope and courage.

2. Transportation to Reach the Unreached

Missionaries often journey far to serve those who have no church, no Bible, and no access to the gospel. Your $5 helps them get there—whether by foot, motorbike, or public transportation.

Real Impact: In West Bengal, Sanjay began by simply showing up—helping children enroll in school and supporting men in finding jobs. Through these practical acts of love, he built trust. Today, the entire village has come to know Christ, and a vibrant local church now gathers daily to worship. Your support makes it possible for missionaries like Sanjay to continue reaching the unreached.

3. Bibles in Local Languages

The gospel becomes truly personal when it’s heard in one’s own language. Your $5 helps provide Bibles that bring clarity, comfort, and conviction.

Real Impact: In Southeast Asia, Chaiya ministers to 60 believers who were forced from their homes due to persecution. They now live in a forest, where he disciples them with Bibles and teaching materials funded by supporters like you. These resources are vital for their spiritual growth and encouragement.

4. Medical Care That Opens Doors

In many of the areas where our missionaries serve, basic healthcare is hard to access. Medical care becomes both a tangible expression of Christ’s love and an entry point for the gospel.

Real Impact: In Pokot, Kenya, Joan, a nurse and local missionary, treats wounds, gives medicine, and prays over her patients. Many have heard the name of Jesus for the first time through her care. Your $5 helps her continue serving in the Pokot medical clinic and support her ministry of healing—both physical and spiritual.

5. Discipleship Tools That Build the Church

Sharing the gospel is only the beginning. Missionaries walk with new believers, equipping them to grow strong in their faith and multiply.

Real Impact: In Indonesia, Aminah (name changed for safety) has spent the last decade pouring into a rural community. Through a tutoring program and a halfway house for those in crisis, she shares the gospel in organic and personal ways. Your gift equips her to continue discipling people who are hungry for truth and healing.

You Can Be Part of Their Story—For Just $5 a Day

“Therefore go and make disciples of all nations… teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”

The resurrection was never meant to be the end of the story—it was the beginning of a mission. One that continues through faithful believers like Sanjay, Joan, Aminah, Chaiya, and so many others.

Through your daily gift, you’re part of making communities look more like the Kingdom of God, where healing, hope, and dignity flourish. You can bring glory to God and honor to all peoples by standing with those who are making His name known.
