'Assembly Aid Abroad' was established in the year 2000 to receive gifts for a
work that the Holy Spirit opened among poor people who live by subsistence
farming in South West Kenya.
A responsible Committee was formed in Australia to supervise the receiving,
receipting, accounting and disbursement of gifts and to request accountability
from those associate individuals and bodies who receive these gifts.
The Word of God teaches accountability and transparency in such matters (2
Corinthians 8:16-24).
The Aims of 'Assembly Aid Abroad'
1. To provide an accountable body, namely 'Assembly Aid Abroad', to receive
gifts, with proper books of account, receipting, banking and auditing.
2. To financially support evangelism and church planting and associated
needs in developing countries, beginning in Kenya/Tanzania and extending within
Africa or elsewhere as the Lord leads and at the discretion of the Management
Committee.
3. To financially support indigenous Evangelists and Bible Teachers who have
no support from other sources and who are working in fellowship with Brethren
Churches and according to the teaching as outlined in the 'Elders Handbook' as
published by 'Assembly Aid Abroad' in fellowship with Church leaders in Kenya.
4. To help Churches with Bibles, Bicycles, Orphan support, building and
maintenance of Trades Learning Centers, Schools, Chapels, Conference Centers
and associated works.
5. To disburse such gifts as the Management Committee directs in view of the
needs, and as may be requested by the donors, working where possible in
fellowship with Associate Bodies in developing countries.
6. To review the books of account kept by Associate Bodies in developing
countries distributing gifts to ensure that all gifts are used as requested by those
bodies and as agreed to by 'Assembly Aid Abroad' .
7. To publish and distribute literature and to arrange for visits by Bible
Teachers to Churches in developing countries.
8. To send out Newsletters to interested persons by E-mail and Post.
9. To co-operate with Associate Bodies and Brethren Church workers on the
various fields in achieving these Aims.
