A Message and Update from our howFar Orphanage

Pastor John has let us know that our team in the Congo has received the monthly funds for the howFar orphanage.  Your donations have provided clean drinking water, food and another month of living for the orphans and caretakers living in our howFar orphanage in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Pastor John writes,

"We have received the funds for food at the orphanage and children were too excited to receive it!  However [and], they prayed more blessings to you."

We are so thankful for your partnership in caring for these children, and helping us to spread the Gospel throughout Africa.  

howFar Orphanage - Day At The Lake

We have recently shared some stories and pictures of the children from the howFar orphanage going on some fun adventures.  There were three groups that split up to go on different filed trips - the first group took a boat trip across the lake, the second group was able to run free and play in a safe park, and the last group spent the day with some local fisherman on the water.

Our friend, Pastor John, wrote us to say that the children visited the net fishermen.  He said, "it has really been amising (amazing), children made a wonderful discovery."  In addition to the children enjoying this time of exploring new things, Pastor John also said, "Local leaders also thanked you when we informed them about the visit of our orphans."

Because of your support, we are not only providing for these orphans and giving them new experiences, but while doing this, we are also reaching the local leaders within the country.  This is a big deal, and we couldn't do it without you!

howFar Orphanage - Day At The Park!

We wanted to share some pictures of the children from our howFar orphanage in Goma, DR Congo, on a recent outing.  We were able to send some additional funds so that they could have a special meal, and adventure away from the orphanage.  This group was taken to a safe park, where they could run and play without any danger.  Our friend, Pastor John, wrote us to say that the children “showed happiness that they had never shown before.”

It is only through your generosity that these children get to have these experiences.  Because of your funding, these children will know love and joy that they would otherwise live without.  Thank you for helping us change the lives of 120 orphans in the Congo!
