We give thanks to God for His continued provision, as all of our projects are progressing well and bearing fruit for His Kingdom. At the same time, we remain mindful of pressing needs: twelve children are still awaiting sponsors to secure their education. We also share with sorrow that Path of Hope was recently attacked by thieves, a reminder of the trials faced in ministry. Yet we stand firm in faith, trusting that "the Lord is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble" (Psalm 46:1). With your prayers and support, we are confident that He will turn these challenges into testimonies of His grace and protection.
This month we welcomed three new survivors into safety at Path of Hope. While we faced a difficult moment when thieves attacked the shelter, we praise God that the girls were unharmed. Our guard sustained injuries but is expected to recover. Even in the face of adversity, we remain steadfast in our mission to protect and restore lives. $500 is our urgent need in order to add more security on the compound.
Reclaiming Hope continues to teach and expand its outreach, currently active in 12 villages. Their consistent presence is helping to strengthen families and communities and bring hope and encouragement.
Each day, around 80 children come to receive breakfast, ensuring they start their mornings with nourishment and care. This month we dedicated time to conducting home visits for many of these children, strengthening relationships with families and gaining deeper insight into their needs. These visits have been an important step in supporting the well-being of the children beyond the daily program.
We thank God that the school term is going well, with 23 students enrolled. Twelve of these children are attending purely in faith, trusting the Lord to provide sponsors for their education. We urgently invite you to prayerfully consider becoming one of the 13 sponsors needed. We rejoice that Khatiya was admitted and welcomed by Amazima, and we celebrate Vincent's success in completing Senior 6 as he pursues his calling to become a secondary school teacher.
We've had a more structured month with everyone back in school. With the arrival of the rains, we were able to plant our garden, which has turned into a fun family project. We also visited all the boarding students, and I'm happy to share that they are doing well. This year, Tony, Medrine, and Daniel are preparing for very important exams. Please keep them in your prayers as they work hard toward this milestone!
We thank you so much for your love and support!
With love,
