Hello Friends,
Welcome to the Christmas Season! With Thanksgiving behind us and Christmas just ahead, it is a time to be grateful for so much! We are grateful for the many victories in our work YOU have made possible.
We have measurably raised the standard of medical and mental wellness care across 35 communities serving 33,000 school children and their families in Kenya. This includes an annual conference for pastors, teachers, counselors, and social workers our ministry partner Mission of Hope International (MOHI) helps support. Our Healing Day Camps for traumatized and special needs children are learning labs for MOHI staff. Special training in the field and in the classroom for social workers has produced a cohort of train-the-trainers multiplying our outreach. A continuing education website is up and running, and we have several virtual connections with key leaders providing encouragement and help throughout the year.
Our Ukraine leadership team spent a month with us as we provided respite, encouragement, and help connecting with friends and organizations supporting our chaplaincy work in Ukraine. This followed a visit of some of our women’s ministry to Ukraine. Colonel (Rtd) Valentin Korenevych presented medals from Olive Branch Ukraine to various volunteers in the United States that have poured into Ukraine for up to twenty-five years. This award and medal are for “Glory and Honor for Sacrificial Service.”
May Grace, Kindness, and Mercy be yours in Abundance!
