At the closing of another year, we can only praise God for all He accomplished, overcoming all the obstacles that came our way. Thanks to your generosity and your big heart, thanks also to our dedicated and sacrificial Congolese partners SABEC, we were able to meet our major goals for sustainable development, matching those of the UN (World Family Organization) such as minimizing poverty, zero hunger, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, affordable clean energy, clean water and sanitation.

• Distribution of staple foods (milk, rice, tomato puree, salt), household, sanitary products and occasional toys and clothing to underprivileged children and mothers.
• Distribution of snacks to all the students
• Hot meals served to the orphaned children
• Distribution of baby clothes, milk and basic food items to needy mothers who deliver their babies in our clinic.

You are the ones who made it all possible, by your generosity, in spite of the various challenges you had to face this year. From the bottom of our hearts, we THANK YOU: SOKIN (Mr. Kaddoura and Mr. Nour), CONGO FOODS (Mr. Abdul), MARSAVCO, Ali and Sameera, SOFIA SPRL, Rizwan Adatya Foundation, the French School of Kinshasa, Mr. Mahesh, Rathi Mukund, Neema Shukla, the Toth Family and the Paschke Family, WeLiftUp, Marie-Thérèse, Yvan, Renate, Steven Leuthold Family Foundation, FCF, FMF and those who preferred to remain anonymous. Please also know that your prayers played a huge part, as they are the most you can do. It has been an honor for us to work together with you in this mission. May God richly bless you.

“A thankful heart is one of the primary identifying characteristics of a believer. It stands in stark contrast to pride, selfishness, and worry. And it helps fortify the believer’s trust in the Lord and reliance of His provision, even in the toughest times. No matter how choppy the seas become, a believer’s heart is buoyed by constant praise and gratefulness to the Lord.”—John MacArthur

“When we learn to read the story of Jesus and see it as the story of the love of God, doing for us what we could not do for ourselves—that insight produces, again and again, a sense of astonished gratitude which is very near the heart of authentic Christian experience.”—N. T. Wright

“In ordinary life we hardly realize that we receive a great deal more than we give, and that it is only with gratitude that life becomes rich.”—Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Rekindled Light

“Sometimes our light goes out but is blown into flame by another human being. Each of us owes deepest thanks to those who have rekindled this light.” – Dr. Albert Schweitzer
