Mission: HOPE

Just a recap of all the great things that are occurring with Mission: Hope!  I want to thank all the Board Members and all the Team Members for being a part of the start-up of this Mission... for continuing to pray and considering trips for the future!  I also want to thank all the donors who have given to this Mission!  My heart is overwhelmed and excited about our start for this mission!  We're lining up tickets to Nairobi, Africa THIS week for our ministry in the slums of Nairobi with a home-based ministry called "Mumomatei Foundation", which serves HIV+ people in Nairobi, and our ministry to "Hope Africa Ministries" in Sakwa, Kenya.  Because of YOUR donations, we are able to send funds to Hope Africa Ministries to purchase uniforms for the kids and provide some school supplies.  How awesome is that?! We'll also be doing a Women's Medical Clinic, helping to bring education to these women in health care, childbirth and a medical condition known as "fissures", which makes it quit difficult for these women to live.  The community school we are helping was formed in February 2007 with 23 students.  Today it has grown to over 300 students, some of who are orphaned and some who are HIV positive.  We will go with a mindset to work.  Our 1st few days will be in Nairobi working in the slums and then travel 3-5 hours away to Sakwa.  Please pray for us!  We can still use support for some of our team members, if you'd like to help!  We are still collecting GIFT bag items for the women's clinic (shampoos, lotions, etc) and paperback picture books for the kids.
