Next Wednesday, Dec. 15th, the dept. of Social welfare will carry out an inspection on our newly built and furnished Children’s Homes that will allow us to fill them with a housemother and children.  Please pray the process through, with us!

Praise God for the positive influence the Village of Hope now has on 50 – YES FIFTY! – little lives that make the VOH home!  We welcomed Munyaradzi as our 50th resident child last week!

With the start of December, several of our resident children have the privilege of being taken to other homes on holidays.  Please pray for safety, for rest, for positive influences.

This Thursday through Sat. our resident youth and others are heading out on a camp.  Please pray for safety and for God to impact their lives for eternity!
