Community Services
SIM seeks to meet the needs of the communities it serves in. This opens doors to share the love of Jesus Christ with others. ODD (Open Door Development) started in 2012 to equip the Church to do community services. Seven years later, the village is equipped with running water, road repairs are frequently organized with the help of local churches and villagers, and an agricultural school tests new ways to have a more efficient way of using resources to grow plants.
You can learn more about who they are, what their goal is, and how they want to achieve it by visiting their website: http://www.opendoordevelopment.org/ or visit their Facebook page : Open Door Development

Please pray for the Fencing Micro-credit programme. ODD is fabricating its own fencing and plans on offering fencing for gardens and fields. Good fences allow for fields to be protected, soil to be improved and crops to be planted earlier which increases production and improves food security.
