How your gift makes an impact…

Your donations will help build confidence in the vulnerable children in Tanzania and in Zambia, Africa.

Meet Jackson below, due to a vision challenge, he is considered legally blind. He does not qualify for the area NGO program. He has been a part of the Hope is Strong Children’s Ministry at Nyasura BC for over three years. He is growing quickly, so your donation will allow us to bring him more clothes on our next trip.

We met Joelle (below) last year in Biharamulo. A friend gave me a pair of shoes for us to take on our trip, while we were there we saw the perfect little feet to put them on. Joelle felt like a princess when we put them on her. She immediately said, “Bless you, Bless you!” Her mom didn’t attend church, but that day she went home to tell her mom about the shoes and later that afternoon her mom came to say thank you. We invited her to the Women’s Conference that was in progress, and she stayed.

The Pastors in Tanzania are always visiting vulnerable families in their communities. Pastor Henga of Nyamikoma BC found this young boy living with his grandmother, who is struggling with alcoholism. Providing some corn and clothes, we pray it gives some hope. The pastors will continue to check on this family.

We will bring your donations with us on our mission trips and leave for the pastors as they continue to serve the vulnerable children and their families. Thank you!
