GET INVOLVED 1. By praying 2. By joining us 3. By becoming a mission promotor 4. By sharing your goods There is much adventure in the missions and the situation can often be dramatic. It is not always easy. You will be stretched, challenged to grow and change and you will discover the living God in new and surprising ways. You can also get involved in the mission of the Lord with the Comboni Missionaries. 1. BY PRAYING "Through our faith, we know that Paradise exists; and that there all the true children of God come together; there the prayers of men converge, raised from all the corners of the earth. Therefore although you may be in one part of the world and I in another, we are and will always be united, because we are linked to a single point: God, who is the centre of communication between me and you".(St. Daniel Comboni, Writings 303) The progress of mission and the commitment of the missionaries demands a lot of prayer. You may collaborate with mission by praying: Prayer of the Comboni Family "O Father, who through Saint Daniel Comboni have shown us a marvelous example of love for you and the peoples of Africa, grant that through his intercession we too may be transformed by the love which flows from the Pierced Heart of the Good Shepherd. Grant that by imitating his holiness and his missionary zeal we may consecrate ourselves entirely, as a community of apostles, to the regeneration of our poorest and most abandoned brothers and sisters, to the praise of your glory. Amen". 2. BY JOINING US The real challenge is: What are you willing to do to share the Gospel message with the many people today never heard of it?

We know that Christ's message of hope can empower all those who have been left behind as the gap between rich and poor widens. We know you care too. Your financial help will go a long way toward narrowing the worldwide gap between the rich and poor and make you a stakeholder in our missionary efforts. There are many ways to be missionaries. You can become a part of the Comboni Missionary family by supporting our many projects in Egypt or in more than 40 countries in Africa, Latin America and Asia. Our missionaries have many stories to tell-things you will never hear in the daily news! They walk with the people and live in their communities. And they want to share all of that with you. After all, isn't that what family is about? You may not have been called to leave your country. But you can also collaborate with the training of a young seminarian.
