In October 2025, our S.O.W. team will travel to Japan's Noto Peninsula to help families rebuilding after the 7.6 earthquake and floods of January 1, 2024. Nearly 150,000 homes were lost and a heartbreaking 656 lives have been lost.

We're coming alongside NPO Hope Ishikawa, a trusted local organization serving families still recovering from last year’s catastrophic events on the Peninsula. Many are still in temporary housing, children are struggling to return to school, and the elderly feel overlooked. Many feel forgotten as time has passed yet their physical, emotional and spiritual needs are real!

🙏Proverbs 31 calls us “to be a voice for those in need.” With your prayers and support, we can share the love of Jesus to a people who are healing and longing to know they are not forgotten.
👉 We thank you for standing with us in prayer for those in need.

Outreach in Timor-Leste. 

At Serving Our World and the TULUN Foundation,
we've encountered many families facing hardships, but Aderito's story touched our hearts in a special way. Once a hardworking father, Aderito's life changed drastically when he suffered a stroke, leaving him completely paralyzed. With no way to provide for his wife and six children, the family now faces daily struggles-barely getting by with the little support they receive.

During our visit, we provided them with food and basic necessities, but we knew they needed more than just temporary relief. Their home is unsafe and unstable-but together, we can change that.

For just $3,500, we can build them a safe home. A place where they can sleep soundly, where the children can grow up with dignity, and where they can find peace in the midst of their hardships.
