Who We Are

Christian Aid Ministries' primary purpose is to be a trustworthy and efficient channel for Amish, Mennonite, and other conservative Anabaptist groups and individuals to minister to physical and spiritual needs around the world. This is in response to the command ". . . do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith" (Gal. 6:10). CAM is a non-profit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization.

Reaching around the world:

Each year, CAM supporters provide approximately 15 million pounds of food, clothing, medicines, seeds, Bibles, Bible story books, and other Christian literature for needy people. Most of the aid goes to orphans and Christian families. Supporters' funds also help put up Gospel billboards, clean up and rebuild for natural disaster victims, support several church-planting efforts, operate two CAM medical clinics, and provide resources for needy families to make their own living. Our main purposes for providing aid are to help and encourage God's people and bring the Gospel to a lost and dying world.

How we operate:

CAM is controlled by a ten-member Board of Directors and operated by a six-member Executive Committee. The organizational structure includes an Audit Review Committee, Executive Council, Ministerial Committee; various support committees, and a number of department managers.

Support:

CAM programs are supported entirely by contributions from concerned individuals and churches throughout the USA, Canada, Mexico, and a number of other countries. We believe donors' first responsibility is to their local church and would not want people neglecting their church offerings to give to CAM.

A Volunteer Organization:

CAM is largely a volunteer organization aside from management, supervisory personnel, and bookkeeping operations. Each year, volunteers at our warehouse, field bases, Disaster Response Services, and other locations donate over 200,000 hours of work.

Financial Statement

An annual, audited financial statement is mailed to CAM's entire mailing list. Fundraising and non-aid administrative expenses are kept as low as possible. Usually these expenses are about one percent of income, which includes cash and donated products.

The CAM newsletter features specific needs in other countries, testimonies of people blessed by supporters' gifts, updates, and more!
