The heart of global Tribe is reflected in our creed: To safeguard the helpless and do them no wrong; to show courage on behalf of those who cannot defend themselves. THE WORK of Global Tribe is to mobilize resources and partner with existing ministries, grass roots leaders, to make poverty history; to provide a platform for their work, recruit volunteers for their mission, and raise funds to help with their expenses, to expend our collective energy and resources to combat physical and spiritual hunger, both around the globe and at home. Here is a glimpse of our work. Global Tribe is to focus our resources on those with whom we partner.
In partnership with Baja Christian Ministries, we help them with funds and volunteers to build homes, classrooms, medical facilities, and provide relief. From the time we began assistance, homebuilding has jumped dramatically to 250 a year, assisted largely be the Newsboys platform. In 2007 we introduced Purple Book, designed to teach basic bible principles to new believers. Current numbers indicate 32,000 have engaged the study with 12,000 graduated from 800 groups. They now have 5 staff who are regional Purple Book directors.

Last week I returned from Baja, Mexico. I thought I had seen poverty. When Anthony and I joined with the Baja Christian Ministries team in El Nino, I was truly overwhelmed by the mass of impoverished people and the conditions in which they live. Hundreds upon hundreds of shelters families have built from scraps of materials from trash heaps dot the landscape. Walls like a patchwork quilt. Dusty dirt roads.
For every 20 people who give just a dollar a day, we can build one home. With 200 people, we can build 10 homes, and 2,000 would help us build a village. Your help makes this possible. If you are already helping us build homes through your gifts, thank you. For those considering joining with us, your $1 a day makes a difference in waging war on poverty, both physical and spiritual.
There are now 40 million people living in extreme poverty in Mexico alone. Having seen with my own eyes the need, I humbly ask that you join with us to build a village.
The Global Tribe Children’s Center in Bawana is operated by Julie-Ann “Jig” Clayton. Her passion is reaching the kids in the slums of India, providing a caring center for education, renewal, and hope. From children’s activities to the arts, general education, solid meals, and the opportunity to build relationships with families, the global Tribe Children’s Center is a place for mentoring and love, wrapped in the Gospel. Many Indian children suffer from poverty; more than 50% of India’s total population lives below the poverty line, and more than 40% of this population are children. There are 160 million family units.
