It is our privilege to
provide financial support and an awareness for missions locally
and through out the world.
Home/Foreign Projects: Our goal annually
is to raise a significant dollar amount for one home and one
foreign project. Bridging the Gap encourages Women’s
Ministries to be a part of one project annually!

Home Missions
Tree Top Kids (North Metro) - Tony and Jill Geselle
A ministry specifically to trailer court children...what a concept! Through a bus ministry, twice-weekly services and summer outreaches ministering to kids from SEVEN different trailer courts, Tree Top Kids is reaching children for Christ. Many of the families they serve are caught in the destructive cycles of abuse, addiction and neglect. Through personal relationships and sharing, Tony and Jill are seeing the lives of children forever changed. They are the parents of three busy preschoolers: Eliana, Calvin and Zahara.
Need: $20,000 to launch a weekly after-school mentoring/discipleship program for each community.
Foreign Missions
Mauritius/Indian Ocean Basin - Mark and Anjali Jones
Mauritius is a beautiful, tropical island in the Indian Ocean between Africa and Australia, but the spiritual and social conditions of this island nation does not often resemble its natural beauty. Islanders are faced with challenges such as a sudden rise in teenage pregnancy, drug addiction and prostitution. This is an island that needs a transformation that only God can bring and He is already providing a way! The government has requested assistance from Mark and Anjali in these matters. This is a God given opportunity that we must seize because Mauritius - with its Hindu majority - has been closed to missionaries until now. We desire to show the love of Christ through providing a refuge of hope with practical help and rehabilitation to the women of Mauritius who are destitute from prostitution and teenage pregnancies, alcohol and drug addictions and poverty.
Need: $40,000 for a Mauritian Women and Rehabilitation Center.

Corner Church - Scott and Amber Woller
Today, in downtown Minneapolis there are over 30,000 residents. God has placed Corner Church in this growing pre-Christian population. Corner Church's mission is to be a multi-site, single-entity, franchise-able church that connects our world with real people, real friendships, and a real God by being close in proximity, valued in community and focused on God. Our vision is not to build larger locations, but rather to grow in multiple small locations, with each location being a functioning coffeehouse where we can be a valued part of our community. As of April first we opened our first location, but our vision is to see a Corner Church/Corner Coffee within walking distance of every resident of downtown.
Need: We hope to raise $20,000 for the church's children's area that will also be available to the community during coffeehouse hours.
*We were able to raise $10,000 for Scott and Amber Woller
Foreign Missions
Eurasia Women's Center
Lives of women in the Muslim world are full of challenges and limitations; their world is often defined by a male relative - father, brother or son. Many women in Islam are treated as the servants of men, and their opinions, thoughts and feelings matter very little. They frequently have to face the challenges of life alone. It is for this reason that we dream of starting a women's center to provide practical help to hurting and isolated women and to help them restore their true value and identity in Christ. We desire to give a voice to the silent and silenced women of Islam and raise leaders among them to address the issues that they deal with on a daily basis.
Need: We hope to raise $50,000 to purcahse a building for the Women's Center.
* We sent $10,000 to go towards the Women's Center
