The news: More than 120 Christian leaders, musicians, and authors — spanning both conservative and liberal-leaning evangelicals — have signed a joint letter urging President Donald Trump's administration to release $1.35 billion in frozen global health funds before they potentially expire. The funds were designated for international health initiatives and are at risk of lapsing due to an administrative freeze.
Why it matters for church leaders: Many Indian churches and ministries partner with or receive support from global Christian health and relief networks — including those connected to USAID-funded programmes. A funding freeze of this scale affects mission hospitals, HIV programmes, maternal health initiatives, and NGO partners that Indian church networks often collaborate with or refer communities to.
The takeaway: If your church partners with any international Christian health or relief organisation, check in now to understand whether their funding has been affected and how your local support can help bridge the gap.
