The news: After sweeping cuts to USAID programs, the Trump administration announced $2 billion in humanitarian aid funding directed toward faith-based organisations. A consortium of US Christian organisations will oversee $1.4 billion of that total, representing a significant shift in how American foreign aid is being channelled, according to Christianity Today.
Why it matters for church leaders: Indian ministries and Christian NGOs that partner with American faith-based organisations — particularly in health, food assistance, or community development — may see funding flows change as this money is redistributed through new Christian-led channels. If your ministry has international partnerships, now is a good time to understand who your partners are receiving their funding from.
The takeaway: If your ministry depends on international Christian partnerships, proactively reach out to your US partners to understand how this funding shift affects your collaborative programs.
