South Africa Mission Trip 2010

YOUNG ADULT MINISTRY SOUTH AFRICA MISSION TRIP

Since its inception, the Young Adult Ministry of the Faith Community of Saint Sabina has quickly established itself as an integral part of the City of Chicago’s Auburn-Gresham revitalization area efforts, as well as the greater Chicago land area. The Young Adult Ministry continues to organize and successfully execute numerous events such as the third annual Night of Poetry (a fundraiser donating proceeds to strengthen Auburn-Gresham’s food pantry, the Saint Sabina Social Services Center), Domestic Violence and Healthy Relationships (a community forum dedicated to combating the efforts of domestic violence), as well as traveling to New Orleans, Louisiana to assist Habitat for Humanity in the reconstruction of homes ravaged by Hurricane Katrina.

Additionally, the ministry has collected several hundred canned goods for local social service agencies, sponsored a book drive providing reading materials for children and teens in juvenile detention centers, donated toys to infants whose parents were killed combating violence in Iraq and has been a voice toward ceasing gun violence in Chicago through community youth forums and outreach. While the Young Adult Ministry is making a direct impact within the local community, it continues its international outreach to the suffering and disenfranchised, specifically in war ridden and poverty-stricken areas of Africa such as Sudan and Ghana, where we’ve supported efforts to end genocide and provided for the Shekinah HIV/AIDS Clinic.

In 2008, the Young Adult Ministry supported the dream of Peter Magai, a survivor of the decade’s long war and food crisis, by orchestrating a fundraiser dedicated to the construction of an elementary school that educates over 300 students in his home village. Peter is only one of thousands of children who were separated from their families by war and were forced to become self-sufficient within a band of orphaned children. They survived by caring for themselves and young children alone. Fleeing for refugee camps, ten and eleven year olds became the village elders, while seven and eight year olds became each others’ parents, sharing sips of muddy water, and burying their dead. Most were never to see their parents again. While the story of Peter has a successful ending, it does not account for the thousands of orphaned children in Sudan who continue to struggle for daily survival.

In the upcoming year, our ministry will extend our international humanitarian efforts to Durban, South Africa, where we hope to make an even greater impact in the lives of children. The ministry will provide outreach in the form of food, education, and empowerment for a community of children living on the streets of Durban through the Give Meaning: South Africa Ubuntu Project.

By making a monetary donation today, you will assist us in offsetting fees and cost that seem to be unreachable at the moment such as transportation and lodging. Furthermore, we believe that with the generous support of people like you, we will be able to help the children and families of South Africa to not only meet their essential daily needs, but to work toward a brighter future.

Night of Poetry III SUCCESS!

2009-03-03T15:45:00.000-08:00

The members of Jesus Peace would like to thank all of those who supported their annual Night of Poetry on February 28th, 2009. Thanks to supporters like you, we were able to gather hundreds and hundreds of canned goods and over $1300 to benefit the Saint Sabina Social Services.

A NIGHT OF POETRY 3: FOOD FOR THOUGHT

2009-01-13T10:42:00.000-08:00

On the evening of February 28, 2009, Jesus Peace, a component of Saint Sabina’s young adult ministry will be hosting their first fundraiser of 2009; “A Night of Poetry III: Food for Thought”.
As you know, needy families and individuals in our communities go without proper food, shelter, and essential medical care every day due to a variety of factors including low wages, job loss, injuries, illness, age, or divorce. While all of us are susceptible to hard times, children and the elderly are at the most risk, and they make up a number of clients the Saint Sabina Social Services aid.

During this event, we will fight poverty by orchestrating a widespread food drive, clothing drive and monetary fundraiser which will support the Saint Sabina Social Services Center in providing for and nourishing the residents of the Auburn Gresham community.

With the generous support of people like you, we will be able to assist Saint Sabina’s Social Services in helping many of these families and individuals not only to meet essential daily needs, but to work toward a brighter future

Today, you can make an immediate difference by supporting our fundraiser. You can help us by providing monetary assistance, can goods, clothes, supplies or gifts.

Jesus Peace - SAVE OUR CHILDREN: 80s/90s Talent Show

2008-04-17T16:27:00.000-07:00

On the evening of August 9, 2008, Saint Sabina’s young adult outreach group, Jesus Peace, will continue to advance the cause of justice, peace and positive change through our third fundraiser of 2008; an 80s / 90s Talent Show. We’ve affected many lives thus far by raising funds for the Saint Sabina HIV/AIDS Clinic in Ghana, raising funds and awareness to cease genocide in Darfur and this past February we supplied funds toward building the Pongborrong School for children in Sudan.

Proceeds from this fundraiser will help strengthen the Saint Sabina Youth Ministries and assist in raising money for the Save Our Children Fund. The Save our Children Fund was set up by the Faith Community of Saint Sabina to help seek justice for families who lost their child due to gun violence by placing a cash reward for the arrest and conviction of the shooter and to aid families who need help with funeral cost.

Jesus Peace "A Night of Poetry: Building a School in Sudan"

2008-03-30T18:44:00.000-07:00

A Big success; raising over $1200 toward building the pongborong school located in southern Sudan. Proceeds will help build the library in Pongborong Primary School and help with school tuition for three students.

Congrats to everyone who donated, supported and volunteered to make that event a success, but more importantly touched the lives of our brothers and sisters in Sudan!
