2026 Benin Visit

Purpose and Mission

Channels for Change exists to enable donors in the United States to provide support to Christian ministries who operate in other countries. 

Our current focus is on Benin, West Africa. Since 2024, we have partnered with Mission Soleil d'Espoir (Sun of Hope) there to provide wells, Church roofs, and MP3 audio bible study materials. See their page at Sun of Hope

So far, we have processed funding for 10 wells, serving 5,900 people in Benin. In addition, we have provided funds for Church roofs, and MP3 audio players containing Bible study materials.

There are many ways to facilitate the spread of the gospel of Jesus across Benin and neighboring countries. See our current projects for more information.

Evangelism through sewing training - Video of a project from 2025

One of the projects from the 2025 Missions Conference was to fund the purchase of sewing machines and a gluing machine. The project leader is the wife of a pastor. She brings in girls to teach them sewing, and while teaching she preaches the gospel. We heard that every one of the girls in the program last year placed their faith in Jesus for salvation. 

Watch the video below. When I watched, I set the CC to Auto translate to English. Your YouTube might pull that in, or you can set your own language preference.

The work or this project is ongoing. She could use 4 more machines, and a workshop to house this equipment. 

Channels for Change is currently accepting donations to help expand this ministry. The 2026 needs include 4 more sewing machines for a total of $825, basic workshop construction for $5,100, and finishing of the workshop for an additional $5,100.
