Week's End

Patrick, Pauline and Erica walking on the grounds of the African Christian Church & School headquarters this past Friday.

As this past week drew to an end, we had the great pleasure of travelling back to Thika with our CBM Africa team leader, Colin Godwin, and our development colleague, Pauline, for Guardians of Hope management meetings with the ACC&S.

As part of the management meetings, we are benefiting from time with the mangers from each of the nine ACC&S regions, who are overseeing the ministry of the Guardians of Hope in their communities. They are helping us gain a much fuller picture of GOH as we walk together in planning the direction for this coming year.

We have been so impressed with how the ACC&S churches are doing so much with the minimal resources available to them and for the great impact they are having for the Kingdom of God among the sick and orphaned within their communities.

Please continue to pray for groups like the Embu Guardians of Hope as they seek to empower people living with HIV and AIDS within their community.
