Adventist Health International
The 208-bed Malamulo Hospital has served Malawi residents since 1902. Its name is synonymous with quality SDA healthcare in that area. Currently the campus is desperately in need of housing for hospital staff, Loma Linda University physicians and students on mission rotations, and Malawian physicians receiving surgical training. The ASI grant will be added to private donations to complete an $80,000 duplex now under construction. Malamulo and Adventist Health International thank ASI donors for their support of this iconic Adventist mission hospital.

Adventist World Aviation
In 1997 the North Philippine Union invited Adventist World Aviation to provide air support for Adventist Frontier missionaries in the interior of Palawan Island. Palawan is home to several indigenous tribes located where roads and waterways don’t exist. AWA now provides regular radio communication and air drops of supplies to these remote mission stations. AWA has purchased land for a permanent airbase and landing strip. ASI funding will complete runway construction and assist with hanger construction and aviation maintenance tools and equipment.

ASI/OCI Missionary Assistance Plan
ASI’s Missionary Assistance Program (MAP) provides much needed financial assistance to lay missionaries. MAP is funded by ASI and administered by Outpost Centers International (OCI). It aids individuals and families who have left their homelands and embraced a life of service (with little remuneration) in developing countries. MAP’s small monthly stipend allows these workers to take needed furloughs or, when needed, send their children back home for post-elementary education. These sacrificial individuals serve in countries such as Brazil, Bolivia, Zambia, Tanzania, India, Indonesia, Peru, and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The program regularly airs on 3ABN and is distributed on DVD at church events. This film series has been a key part in Asian Aid’s growth and its ability to help thousands more families in southern Asia.

Holbrook Indian School Garden-to-Plate Experience
In the past twenty years, it has been proven that using gardening to teach science, math and environmental studies results in students having a higher interest in eating fruits and vegetables on a regular basis. Holbrook plans to refurbish its five greenhouses and utilize its farmland to inspire students to learn gardening skills they can practice back home. Young people will garden year-round and provide food for the school’s cafeteria. Along with gardening, students will learn to make wise nutritional choices through this Garden to Plate experience.

Instituto de Capacitacion Adventista del Peten (ICAP)
The Instituto de Capacitacion Adventista del Peten (ICAP), in collaboration with the Tennessee-based Mission Guatemala team, is establishing a school of nursing on its northern Guatemala campus. The program’s rural health emphasis is much needed, as few rural communities in Guatemala have access to health care. ICAP nursing graduates will provide health care and witness for Christ in those communities. ASI funding will help construct a three building complex totaling 15,000 square feet. A dormitory, classrooms, library, computer laboratory and a skills laboratory will be included. The school will open in 2015.

Lay Institute for Global Health Training Inc.
LIGHT offers medical missionary training to SDA lay-members around the world through short courses, workshops and online studies. During the past six years it has trained over 10,000 missionaries in more than 70 countries. Some graduates get their local churches actively involved in ministering to neighbors’ needs by using the health message as “an entering wedge” for the Gospel.

LifeStyleTV
LifeStyleTV provides relevant, meaningful and life-changing programming 24×7 to Scandinavia. Our lifestyle focused and Bible-based programs seek to bring life together, as a whole – physically, mentally and spiritually. LifeStyleTV operates in one of the most secular and hard to reach areas of the world, but it works! Viewers are not just engaging in an active lifestyle, but are finding a new purpose in Christ, and a fellowship in the Adventist Church. It recently realized that after eight years of continuous production and round-the-clock broadcasting, its equipment was failing. The station must upgrade or replace its tired out equipment in order to ensure high-quality productions and broadcasts for years to come. ASI’s assistance will help keep LifeStyleTV on the air in Scandinavia where it will continue to lead people to Christ. LifeStyleTV says, Thank you, ASI!

Mynmar Union Mission
After Ye Net Gyi villagers asked an SDA pastor to teach them, 22 people were baptized. A house church will be built for them with ASI funding. In Moe Maik village, members of a Protestant church asked for studies. The church became divided. When 70-year-old Aung Myint joined the Adventist Church, his former friends were so angry they beat him nearly to death. But Aung Myint and more than 40 others are faithful SDA church members. They were so enthusiastic about their new faith that they raised funds to build a church in Moe Maik. They could not wait for funds to come from ASI!

New Beginnings DVD
The revised New Beginnings continues to be used in the frontiers of world evangelism: China, the Philippines, Southern Africa, the Caribbean, as well as in venues in mid America. Hundreds of thousands have been trained and use the New Beginnings DVD as an evangelistic tool. As a result, so many have learned of the Gospel that we have lost count! But millions more need to hear the Good News of salvation. This program is one of the most effective evangelism training efforts in the history of the Adventist church. As a partner with the General Conference of SDA, we can reach millions more. ASI funding will support translation and duplication of the New Beginnings to this end.

North American Division Office of Education
NAD schools have been using secular science textbooks for many years. The NAD Office of Education made the commitment to develop a new, distinctly Adventist elementary science textbook series. This series is consistent with the Adventist worldview, has accurate science, and is appealing to students. The new textbooks are written on an inquiry-based science model. Students are taught to ask quality questions, then learn through hands-on science experiences rather than rote memorization. ASI funding will help to complete the science series with grades 7 and 8 textbooks and provide ebook access to all elementary grade levels.

Radio 74 Internationale
Taking the Adventist message to isolated Native Alaskans is a formidable challenge. Roads into the vast and usually frigid interior are all but non-existent. AM radio remains the ideal medium. RADIO 74 has an FCC permit to build a 50,000 watt AM station near Anchorage. This powerful station will cover the 350,000 people living in or near Anchorage. During darkness hours it will reach 110,000 Native Alaskans in remote villages and will be heard in neighboring Yukon, Canada.

Ruby Nelson Memorial Hospital
Ruby Nelson Memorial Hospital is located in Punjab, North India. The 80-bed general hospital is a major provider of eye care to the rural masses in seven Indian states. It has gone from performing 800 eye surgeries each year to more than 11,000. In-Patients receive Bible study and prayer from hospital staff and Steps to Christ or The Great Controversy and the Bible when they leave. But Nelson is an 80-bed hospital admitting 400 to 500 surgical patients at a time. Every available space is occupied, from hallways to bus shelters. And the eye outpatient department and operating theater are in the same area, which poses a serious cross-infection threat. ASI funding will address both problems.

ShareHim – Carolina Conference
The goal of ShareHim is to inspire and encourage God’s church for outreach and evangelism in our number-one mission fields—right where we live. One method ShareHim uses is the International Evangelism Experience. In 2015, through the generosity of ASI, ShareHim will help awaken evangelistic vision in over 300 young people as each preaches a two-week evangelistic series in a high-growth region of the world. Afterwards, through one-on-one mentorship, ShareHim will work to encourage and create accountability for being intentionally active in witness back home. In the largest project, ShareHim will bring nearly 200 young adults from Europe, Asia, Australia, and New Zealand to preach evangelistic campaigns with local churches in southern Mexico and afterwards attend the closing six days of the 60th General Conference Session in San Antonio, Texas.

Three Angels Broadcasting Network Inc.
In its necessity to upgrade television programming to high definition (HD), Three Angels Broadcasting Network received donations from its viewers that enabled it to purchase new HD cameras. Now ASI funding will allow it to buy the high quality HD, but more importantly, consistent HD programming will make it more likely that cable television companies would choose to add 3ABN to their channel lineups. Wider distribution of 3ABN’s gospel message will be an added plus to the HD upgrade.
