"Thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumph in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the
fragrance of the knowledge of the kindness of Him." 2 Corin. 2:14

Glorious Hope of tomorrow! Hannah and I dedicate this report to the YOUTH - the church of tomorrow, who God has chosen to
"spread everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of the kindness of Him..."
The President of Kenya, in October of 2006, launched the plan called "KENYA VISION 2030". It says the
population will swell up from 33 to 50 million people!!! What a challenge to the church, if the Lord tarries!! Someone
said "Leaders think that continuous improvement, new challenges, curiosity and excitement about the future are essentials."
WHAT ARE WE DOING TO MEET THESE CHALLENGES?
God has used the ministry you pray for, and support financially to now operate six different CHILDREN CENTERS to feed, clothe, educate and show the truth and hope that "Jesus is the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Him" John 14:6

WOMEN OF HOPE MINISTRIES
"Let your LIGHT so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven." Matthew 5:16 - "We teach the women to do good works.. Acts 9:36-43As Tabitha provided for her community in the story in Acts, the women are knitting and weeving for the needy families in their villages. We provide them with machinesand materials to make the dresses they wear. God is good!
The testimony of their good works bring the glory of God into their villages. Be BLESSED for your support.
