In the fourth year of administration, WaterStone Field of Interest awards are meeting individual and ministry needs worldwide. During the period between January 1, 2009, and March 30, 2010, the Field of Interest Selection Committee made 87 grants, valued over $238,000.

This year, Benevolent Field of Interest grants had the most impact on lives affected by the unstable economy. Illness, injury, lost jobs and death have all contributed to the grim effects of a poor economy on families. 

The second largest area of distribution was Missions Field of Interest, granting to those working in orphanages, hospitals, medical clinics, and schools from Africa to China and points in between.

The Discipleship Field of Interest Fund supported those using their skills and knowledge to bring the Gospel of Christ utilizing various tools... Bible distribution, Bible study, preaching & teaching, chaplaincy services and English language studies... to wide-reaching locations. 

Thanks to all of you who have joined in the support of these WaterStone Field of Interest Funds, as we together seek to value all mankind, caring for others and God’s creation as we invest in the Kingdom of God.
