I HAVE SAID THESE THINGS TO YOU, THAT IN ME YOU MAY HAVE PEACE. IN THE WORLD YOU WILL HAVE TRIBULATION. BUT TAKE HEART; I HAVE OVERCOME THE WORLD. -JOHN 16:33
SPONSOR.A.CHILD
MY.KIDS
I SPONSOR A TOTAL OF ELEVEN CHILDREN IN AFRICA. IN RWANDA ARE UWIMANA, MUHAWENIMANA, TUYIZERE, KWIZERA, IRADUKUNDA & NTAGISANIMANA. IN UGANDA ARE FLORENCE AND IVAN. IN KENYA ARE GREGORY & AMINA. AND IN GHANA IS ALEX. SPONSORING THESE TEN CHILDREN HAS BEEN SO REWARDING AND THEY ARE TRULY A BLESSING FROM GOD. I ALSO CORRESPOND WITH A GIRL IN TANZANIA NAMED ANASTANSIA, ANOTHER GIRL IN NICARAGUA NAMED ALICIA & A BOY IN RWANDA NAMED MUGISHA. THROUGH MY SPONSORSHIP I HAVE BECOME MORE AWARE OF THE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN POVERTY AROUND THE WORLD AND MY HEART AND PASSION FOR THEM HAS GROWN EVEN DEEPER IN WANTING TO REVEAL TO THEM THAT THEY CAN HAVE HOPE AGAIN, AND THAT HOPE IS IN JESUS CHRIST.
