5/3/08 - Cambodia Update
"I am very grateful for the Fund which has been given by the Feed the Hungry. The workers and I are very happy because through this program we can see some changes in the lives of the children and their families.
For the children, we can see about 60% come to know the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Lord and Saviour. For the parents, we can see about 30% of them come to know the Lord Jesus Christ and accept Him as their Lord and Saviour.
Actually we don't just give them only the Bible Story from word of God, but we teach them about health problem, hygiene, how to pray, and how to live a healthy life and how to obey and respect their parents and older people. They are very joyful to come to learn every day before we serve them food. So up to now they know how to pray and some can memorize some verses and know how to live a healthy live."
Love you very much

5/3/08 - Kenya Update - Just in Time!
Two containers of food and medical supplies bound for Ps. Chris Okumu had arrived in Kenya in December 2007. Thankfully the containers were cleared through customs just in time!
Several days later on the 27th of December, the country erupted in civil violence as people protested the general election result.
Ps. Chris was able to ration these supplies for the elderly, the sick & infirm and those abandoned in the chaos and confusion of what had previously been known as the one of the most stable African countries.
Ps. Chris runs the Soweto Academy as part of the EveryChild EveryDay orphanage support initiative which enrolls 1300 children in Kenya.

5/3/08 - Sudan Update - Eden Keepers
FTH will shortly begin working with Dr. John A. Nyikako a Sudanese returnee who escaped during the war & achieved a Ph. D in Agriculture from a German university.
Dr. John, came back to Sudan after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005 to rebuild the country. He hopes to create an Agricultural School to raise the productivity of the farmers in South Sudan (while ministering the Word of God to them).
Please remember Dr. John and his workers in your prayers.
"I thank God so much for having connected us in His own ways to make a better impact in this nation. I believe the Agric Project is going to give hope to the people in this nation so that they may give God the glory as they see and test of His goodness."

5/3/08 - Uganda update - Destiny Boarding School
During a recent Trip to Uganda, Ps. Solomon from King Solomon's Academy in Kampala introduced our team to Destiny Boarding School.
Located about 90mins outside the main city, this outreach ministry rescues street children and brings them into a full-time care facility.
They have 677 children right now, but are desperately under funded. They had been only able to feed them limited corn meal and some beans. As a result of this very poor diet, many of the children had distended bellies, reddish & thinning hair.
So moved at the desperate situation, Ps. Solomon immediately pledge half of the rice meal he had only just received to help this school.
Destiny Boarding School, along with King Solomon's Academy and Childcare Kitgum Servants is our third Uganda ministry supported through EveryChild EveryDay initiative.
5/3/08 - Liberia Update - Rehabilitation of 8 Orphanages
Containers of rice meal and canned goods will leave our US warehouse next week bound for Liberia.
Following an assessment trip by Bob Boucek, a US church has agreed to fund the rebuilding and reestablishing of 8 orphanages across Liberia under the direction of Pastor Allan Klayee.
