The past year has been another difficult one. As we highlight the incredible work of our local and global partners, we acknowledge it’s been hard for them as well. Each country and partner have been impacted by the pandemic, coupled with other trials. Here in our community we know of those already vulnerable experiencing further financial challenges, job loss and personal pain; seen globally as well. In Uganda, the students are longing to return to their classrooms, but the schools have still not re-opened. In Rwanda, few of the churches have re-opened, leaving the pastors and those they care for suffering financially without income. In Haiti, the entire country is still reeling from the political, economic and physical damages brought on by the events of 2021.
And yet God is working through his people, in every part of the globe. Never forget! God is on the move and he will continue to raise up and sustain his faithful.
In the following pages we share our partners wins in 2021 and dreams for 2022; also, their view of Hope, Peace, Love, and Joy. Enjoy a short story and prayer each day. May you be inspired and motivated to engage in this campaign by the giving of your financial support and prayers so our partners will be encouraged and enabled to accomplish all they dream for in 2022.
On behalf of Laurie Whitaker - Local Initiatives Director, and our Global Compassion Committee, thank you.
