We praise God for the changes we’ve seen in the life of Tatenda since moving to the Village of Hope Children’s Homes!  Once constantly on the run, sleeping in bathrooms and absconding school, instead – giving him a stable environment, a loving home, we have watched a new boy emerge!  A boy with hope, who does his chores, who smiles more than ever, who is polite and teachable.  Thank you God for the opportunity to affect this young life!

Hope Community Church is celebrating 9 years of faithful service to our God, to the community of Good Hope this weekend!  The festivities and special services will happen over 4 days, Thursday-Sunday.  Your prayers for the church and its congregants are always welcome, as it just keeps growing .

We praise God for another year to serve in Zimbabwe with the granting of a new work permit.  Our next expiry date is Aug. 26, 2011!

Praise God for our many staff that catch the vision of the Village of Hope and take on the mission of caring for children!  Our teachers that dedicate their days to not only academics, but to caring for the hurt and vulnerable.  Our moms for their dedication 24/7 to lives that need stability and hope.  Our construction workers that understand that what they build will reap benefit in the lives of the children for years to come.

Praise God for this little mite and the healing that God is providing under the watchful eye of her new mom Addeline and Auntie Winnie!  Check out our last newsletter for glimpses of the beautiful little girl.

We praise God for His continued provision for the programs and buildings at the Village of Hope!

We thank God for Blessings healing!  Though she was hit by a car and her leg broken, she is now off the crutches and walking!

- watched proudly as 9 of our CCP children and 4 staff members (out of 30 people total) were baptized in our backyard pool – both resident and community children. We are INDEED seeing the fruit of our labours! God be praised!
