Breakaway Ministries doubled its goal for this year’s Shalom project, raising $228,316 as of 8 p.m. Tuesday, revealed Executive Director Ben Stuart.
Donations for the Shalom Project have gone to providing shelters for displaced families in Iraq, providing medical care to Boko Haram victims in Nigeria, printing 2,000 Bibles in Persian and providing training for young church leaders in Syria. The goal for this year was $115,000.
“We care about them, and so we stretch out to the places where there’s need,” Stuart said.
At the beginning of the project, which started four weeks ago, Stuart challenged the student population at A&M and those who listened on Breakaway’s podcasts to blow that goal out of the water and said he was pleased to see they had. Donations will be taken until midnight Tuesday.
