Merry Christmas!
Glory to Heaven and Peace be on earth! Blessing of Christ our Lord’s birth to you all. The peace that Jesus proclaimed on earth 2000 years ago was with all of us this 2022 through your prayers.
1. Pre-school ministry
Through the Pre-school ministry, many children have experienced the love and peace of Jesus. Through the building of another pre-school those parents who are having to go to work have a safe place to leave their children. Although not possible for all of the pre-schools, 12 of them are receiving support for breakfast and lunch for all the children that attend and are able to share God’s love and peace through these warm daily meals.
2. The children’s church ministry
The children’s church ministry are working within 40 different locations spreading God’s good news. These children are experiencing and learning of the God who is peace, who is love and by accepting Him into their lives are becoming His children, a child of peace and love. Through the children’s church camp, these children are getting to experience new things, discover purpose ad Hid kingdom and begin to dream of the future God holds for them and we look forward to seeing this future unfold.
3. Schools’ construction
In 2022, 2 new schools’ construction has been completed. Through the building of these schools many children now have an opportunity to learn of the world God has created. We pray that through this they will see the God who created them with love, the kingdom God is still building and His plan for their lives. We pray that they will see, learn and spread His love, His blessings and His peace.
4. shared rice, goats and install water tanks
The drought in the south of Madagascar has affected many and to relieve some of their suffering rice, goats and water tanks to collect water have been shared to those living in these heavily affected communities. Through this we saw God’s love, and experienced His joy and hope being shared with His people.
5. Mother’s and Father’s school program
Through the Mother’s and Father’s school program, Gods peace is being shared to our families that are experiencing broken down relationships, hardships and in need of His healing hands. We have seen forgiveness, healing, hope and thankfulness take over these parents’ hearts and pray that this peace of the Lord will continue its works.
6. We are family
The “we are family” movement is still growing and through its growth we see Gods heart, His longing for a wholesome and happy family. Thousands of calendars and pamphlets are being shared with families and we pray that this small act will start the fire and be the reminder for healing and growth as a family as all Families has been created by God, the God of peace. 100 000pamphelts have been sent to Madagascar, 10 000 to Lesotho, 10 000 to Ethiopia, and 30 000 to the Philippines. We pray that all families of the world will be reached and experience the peace and healing of Our Lord in their families.
7. Pastors training program
The pastors training program has made it through the COVID pandemic and still continues its work. In October, they held their national conference with 60 lecturers/teachers. Through the love of the word that these lecturers showed, the need that they spoke of God vision to continue this work was experienced – That al churches will be the light that shines God’s glory, that they will continue to search for the Lord, that they will continue His mission and spread His peace and praise Him in all His glory.
8. Food sharing
There is continued food sharing within 3 different areas. We see God feeding those who are hungry, and we see His love. God reaches out to those many people who are in search for their next meal and suffer in hunger… Those who walk more than and hour to receive this food parcel, those who send their children to collect as they are too unwell to come themselves, those who give out a sigh of relief when they receive this parcel… God is the God of all, and He wishes His peace and abundance for all His children.
God of Peace and love, We pray you will continue to spread your love and peace through us, we pray you will continue to share forgiveness, abundance, joy and your heart through us. Lord continue to use all of your people who call out “ I am here, use me for your glory.” Let all glory and praise be Yours.
To all our colleagues, family, friends and fellow workers of His kingdom, your prayers, and love is what continues His work in Africa. Thank you and may the peace and love of The Lord be with you this Christmas.
Merry Christmas! For the Kingdom! We are family!
