POBLO International Ministries is extremely excited because three new Mission Starts are being planned this year i.e. Milwaukee, WI; Rochester, MN and Fort Meyers, FL. We would like to challenge our supporters and partners in the Ministry to Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs to support generously for the new startups. POBLO has the capabilities of starting a Mission-Filed in all 50 States but we had been successful in only starting one each year in the United States (due to funding), it takes a commitment of roughly $55,000 for one full time missionary. In addition we need, support staff, literature, and other tools for the ministry. We would like to thank our good Lord and our partners (congregations and Individuals) for showering POBLO with their blessings.

We are already very late in reaching the Muslims and Hindu population in America which is growing at an alarming rate. We plan to start three new States in 2012 as well. Click Here to Donate Online.
