SHARE THE WARMTH.GIVE A BLANKET.

WHO IS GAIN?

As the relief and development ministry of Cru Global Aid Network® (GAiN®) expresses the love of Jesus Christ in the toughest places on earth by relieving human suffering and restoring dignity.

GAiN accomplishes their mission through funding, facilitating, and carrying out relief and development projects through trusted partners worldwide who are committed to spiritual multiplication.

More than 42 million people worldwide are

now forcibly displaced as a result of conflict

and persecution within their own country.*

In 2013, 21.9 million people were forced to

flee their homes by disasters such as

floods, storms and earthquakes.*

Refugees remain uprooted for an average of

17 years due to ongoing violence in their

home communities or fear of targeted

violence and persecution if they return.*

THE REFUGEE CRISIS

THE REFUGEE CRISIS

With internally displaced people today

outnumbering refugees by nearly two to

one, the needs are greater than ever.*

Voiceless and without an advocate, most

often grabbing only the things they can carry,

refugees are the world’s most vulnerable

people.*

A refugee is someone who is being

persecuted for reasons of race, religion,

nationality, membership of a particular social

group or political opinion, is outside the

country of his nationality, and is unable to, or

owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself

of the protection of that country.*

WHAT GAiN DOES

WHAT GAiN DOES

WHERE WE WORK

GAiN uses blankets to not only meet physical needs of

those who have lost everything, but as an opening to tell

people about God’s love. As the number of refugees

increases each year it means that more people are without

basic items like shelter, clothes, shoes, and blankets.

GAiN’s Blanket Initiative gives our partners access to

refugee communities. Because people can’t afford these

items on their own, they go without. Because of this need

GAiN goes in and provides items like blankets to not only

meet physical needs but to also open doors to share about

Jesus’ love.

THE SOLUTION

“I am grateful for the support I have received in the form

of blankets and am happy to receive more aid in any form

that may help me sustain my family.”
