International crisis: this program helps victims of famine, war, and other disasters in various countries. supporters donations provide emergency food, medicine, clothing, shelter, or other important aid. cams main priority in all international crisis projects is to share the love of christ in countries with deep spiritual and economic needs. some of the many areas where cam had international crisis projects during 2024 included ukraine, afghanistan, yemen, bangladesh, chad, and syria.
Literature: at the heart of cam programs is the goal to get gods word into as many hands as possible. in 2024, donations to this program helped provide 3.1 million bibles. to spread the words of truth, we also use the avenues of bible story books, inspirational books, christian family magazines, and bible correspondence courses. god has opened the door to distribute some of these items in unique places of the world, including closed and restricted countries.
