Kingdom Builders is the way we, as a church, will generously partner with organizations that share our passion to see God’s Kingdom across the street and around the world.
Evangel Church exists to bring people into a life-changing relationship with Jesus Christ.
If we summed up all of our efforts, it would equal this central truth. In our core values, we make the statement that We Live on Mission, across the street, and around the world. But how does all this happen?
Kingdom Builders is the way we, as a church, will generously partner with organizations that share our passion to see God’s Kingdom come. Our collective giving has a greater eternal impact than we may realize. The following information is designed to inspire, excite, and demonstrate how our partners put shoe-leather to the mission. We believe you will see Changed Lives, Changing Communities in living color, both locally and globally.

Three Areas of Impact:
Global Missions
Through our partners, Evangel Church has made global impact in the areas of hunger, village transformation, refugee relief, human trafficking and disaster relief. Over the years, the least of these have been served in Jesus’ name, and the Gospel has gone out to unreached people. Through Kingdom Builders, our partners will feed the hungry, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, and visit the prisoner to a greater degree than ever before.
Local Outreach and Church Multiplication
We are passionate about reaching out to our local community and seeing lives transformed. Our Boxes of Hope initiative brings joy and blessings to families during Thanksgiving and Easter, and our Backpack Outreach and Christmas Blessings programs bring hope and happiness to local children. We partner with organizations that provide healing and restoration for the addicted, broken, and lost in our own communities. Additionally, we are committed to supporting the multiplication of life-giving churches in cities across the country. By investing in local churches, we can bring about lasting change and make a real impact in our own nation. Join us in this exciting challenge to bring hope and transformation to our community!
Future Kingdom Leaders
As followers of Jesus, it is our duty to invest in the future leaders of the kingdom. Your support through Kingdom Builders will enable us to support and shape the future of our college students and youth. We plan to fund upcoming missions trips for middle and high school students, recognizing that these experiences can often inspire a call to ministry. These trips can also be a stepping stone for future pastors and missionaries to lead others into the Kingdom. Additionally, we will offer scholarships to Evangel college students pursuing careers in the marketplace, with the goal of removing any obstacles that may stand in the way of them fulfilling their potential in the Lord’s plan.
Global Missions
Goal: $330,000
World Help: Village Transformation
This year we are continuing to bring village transformation to Guatemala by providing a clean-water well, which brings health and a new way of life for an entire village. We will also continue to meet the ever present needs of the villages we already support through food and other essentials.
Feed My Starving Children
FMSC is committed to making an impact in the area of world hunger by making food accessible to children through feeding programs. For $88, you can feed one child for a year, or for $365, you can feed an entire family for one year. Our goal is to provide over 100,000 meals this year. Your gift goes a long way in the fight against hunger.
Convoy of Hope Disaster Relief
$100,00 helps Convoy of Hope deliver tangible aid with compassion when disaster strikes across the street and around the world.
Human Trafficking Awareness
We partner with organizations like Project Rescue and Let My People Go to fight human trafficking both locally and globally. Through prevention, intervention, and restoration, we can work together to bring hope and freedom.
Refugee Relief
Refugees around the world desperately need our help. Their reasons for fleeing are different but the essentials these refugees need to survive are the same. Every $35 you give will provide a week’s worth of emergency supplies for a refugee from Afghanistan, Ukraine, or another country in crisis.
Heart for Lebanon
Our continued support for Heart for Lebanon allows us to invest in the lives of people they serve. We are helping to make disciples by providing essentials for living, allowing their team to build relationships and trust with families in need, and providing christian education materials to refugees and poorer Lebanese people.

WORLDSERVE
MAFIA ISLAND PROJECT
In the face of ongoing persecution, the Christian community on Mafia Island, Tanzania faces numerous challenges, including a devastatingly high rate of infant deaths during childbirth. Despite these obstacles, these resilient believers remain steadfast in their faith and commitment to reach their community. Our partner, WorldServe, has recognized the urgent need for change and through your giving, we will bring hope and healing to the people of Mafia Island.
By building a new hospital and birthing center, we aim to provide a safe and healthy environment for mothers to give birth and bring new life to the community. Your support in this effort will not only save lives and improve health outcomes, but also open the door for those living on the island to experience the hope and love of Jesus Chris. Join us in this mission to bring hope, healing, and
new life to the people of Mafia Island.

The impact of this project goes beyond just providing for basic needs, it has the power to transform lives and communities. Whenever a challenge arises, whether it be in the form of a natural disaster or individual struggles, the community can rest assured knowing that HOPE is on the way!
Each year, the church also provides Easter and Thanksgiving meals to families in need, further demonstrating their commitment to bringing hope to those who need it the most. Through your giving to Kingdom Builders, we aim to continue this mission of spreading hope and changing lives.

Men and women bound by drug and alcohol addiction find freedom in Christ-centered recovery programs.

Our pro-life partners not only provide an alternative to abortion, but also resources for young single mothers, and support for families who have adopted or fostered children.

In 2023, we will be partnering with three to four church planters around the country to launch life-giving Assemblies of God churches in communities of greatest spiritual need.
Rhythm Church • Pensacola, Florida
Rhythm Church in Pensacola, Florida is a beacon of hope for its community, bringing the love of Christ to all those it serves. With the support of Kingdom Builders, this life-giving church has been able to grow and make a real impact. Starting small with a congregation meeting in a movie theater, it quickly moved to a store front. And by the end of 2022, a miracle had occurred as the church merged with another local church, acquiring a new building, land, and members. The church is now poised to maximize its brand new space and continue spreading the message of hope and love to the community of Pensacola. Your support through Kingdom Builders makes all this possible, and we encourage you to continue giving so that Rhythm Church can reach even more people and make a lasting impact.

Future Kingdom Leaders
Goal: $80,000
We believe that we have a responsibility to the next generation. We can support them through scholarships, sponsoring a missions trip, or through partnerships with Christian Colleges and campus ministries.
Huber Scholarships
The Huber Scholarship was established to give Evangel Church college students a hand-up as they pursue their goals for higher education.
Retreat Scholarships
Scholarships are provided for youth and young adult retreats that are held throughout the year so that no young person has to miss out on these opportunities to seek God in a time away with their peers.
Christian Campus Ministries
We assist our college campus missionaries in CRU and Chi Alpha by helping send students to their leaders’ retreats, and also to reach incoming students move-in events at the beginning of each fall season.
DiBella Scholarships
The DiBella Fund was specifically developed to encourage people from Evangel who are called to the mission field and get them started on their way.
Youth Missions Trips
We endeavor to support our students who wish to participate in missions trips which can propel them towards life-long ministry and mature them in their faith. $1800 will cover the cost of one student’s life-changing experience. This year our high school students are going to El Salvador to support the ministry of King’s Castle Ministries.
University of Valley Forge
With a long history of training pastors and missionaries, we support UVF to continue their mission to prepare young people for a life of service in the church and in the world.
CHARLENE’S STORY
I’m Charlene Lim, a local missionary who works through Cru at different colleges across New Jersey.
My walk with Jesus started at Evangel Church when I heard the Gospel at an Easter Sunday service.
Now, more than a decade later, I’m a regular attendee at Evangel Woodbridge (don’t hesitate to say hi if you see me), and I’m trusting God with my life and vocation to help others know Him.
My ministry’s vision is “Empowered and led by the Holy Spirit, let us advance God’s kingdom by making Jesus Christ known on every campus, influencing the state and ultimately the world.” Evangel has been faithfully and prayerfully supporting me since 2019, bringing reality to the vision to make Jesus known on every campus across Jersey!
