“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ”
Faithful Partners,
We have so much good news to share with you every single day! However, due to time and attention constraints most of us have, we try to summarize a few amazing updates each month to give you a snapshot of what it is your support is actually doing! Though it’s hard to share what is happening emotionally and spiritually with all those we impact on a daily basis, we hope these articles warm your heart to see just a tiny snippet of the people we are impacting!
I’m still in shock that we’ve been impacting lives for over 10 years and all that God has done through our tiny but mighty ministry! We are not done! But, right now, the harvest is great and the workers are few. We need significantly more funds to finish paying 2025 school fees (due in June) for our children. School is not free in Kenya. With the average Kenyan in our area earning just over $1 per day, having funds to cover school fees, school uniforms, supplies, shoes, and food are not likely. They depend on private support to help make it possible which is why so few children go to school or can continue past elementary (when the cost significantly increases). And we all know, if there’s a way out of poverty it comes through education.
Give Amore tries to tackle this current issue with our FREE computer training and FREE tailoring school to support those who are willing to put in the time and effort for a better future. Getting children to school is fundamental and where it starts.
Most of our children are not currently sponsored. We use general funds to cover everything. When we did have the children “sponsored", it was $50 per month per child. Now, it costs over $135 per month per child (average) for our sponsorship program. You can see the huge shortfall.
We currently need $10,000 ($250 per child) in May to be able to fund the remaining school fees balance. It seems impossible. But God!!!
Please join us in prayer, in support, in sharing our mission with others and join us in watching in awe as God provides. We know He is able.
Thank you for your support. It’s life changing and life saving!
With Gratitude,
Christa Horst
