An excerpt from the June – July 2012 Impact, a publication
of CMF International, will tell of a few things being done in Nairobi, Kenya.
Leaders gather for
Hope talks
‘More than 50 church leaders from 20 churches in 12 states
gathered in Indianapolis in March for the first Hope Partnership Dialogue, a
networking event for churches involved in CMF’s Hope Partnership in Nairobi,
Kenya.
The participants were inspired by Mary Kamau’s update on the
ministry’s exponential growth – from 185 children in one school in 2006 to
nearly 7,000 children in 14 schools today – and discussed the current realities
and future goals for expansion in Hope Partnership. Updates were shared
regarding the launch of the Big Dent microfinance web site and the introduction
of the new VBS/Children’s Ministry program, “Good News for the Poor”, that features
Hope Partnership Projects.
The sustained growth of the program is due to the vision and
leadership of Kenyan Nationals Wallace and Mary Kamau and a team of CMF
Missionaries, plus the involvement and investment of more than 40 churches and
5,000 child sponsors.’
***************
Mary told us that there is a great need for more schools in
the slums of Nairobi where CMF and the Hope Partnership work. Every dollar
helps. Make a commitment to help today. Sponsor a child.
Can you give up a few things each month to help people who have
virtually nothing? Put yourself in their shoes what would you want people to do
for you if you had nothing and there was no hope for the future and you don’t
have an education or parents who have educations or jobs or businesses?
How about a buying a few less Starbucks coffees each week, or
how about eating out a few less times each month, or taking your lunch to work a
few days a week, or cutting down on the 5 hour energy drinks each month, or buying
off-brand clothes for this season, or not going to the beach every weekend, or
waiting to watch movies until they come to Netflix or On Demand, or buying a
less expensive car, or refinancing your house, or cutting your own grass once a
month. I bet there are more things you can come up with to get some money to
help CMF. Don’t hesitate. Do it now!
