s you know, Grace Children’s Home was severely damaged in the earthquakes. But thanks to your support, we are in the process of rebuilding this home and have provided help to the staff and children throughout this tragedy. Even when the children were sleeping in tents and

temporary shelter immediately following the earthquake, they were still joyful and thankful for the help they were receiving.

Please remain in prayer for Pastor Kam and Grace Children’s Home, as the economic blockade in Nepal is delaying current rebuilding efforts across the nation. While they await the reconstruction, the boys and girls are living in temporary metal structures serving as dorms. These buildings are well insulated and have electricity to keep the children warm during the winter months. We are eager to stand with you in seeing the reconstruction begin—restoring the ministry at this incredible children’s home.

Life for children in Nepal is often marked by hardship, sickness, and lack of opportunity—especially in the wake of these devastating earthquakes. Your continued support ensures that the Nepali people will prosper for generations to come.

NEPAL

ne of the most strategic ways we partner with you is through sponsorship. We are grateful that Kingdom Partners believes that all children matter to God, and together, we ensure that children experience physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Rahul Kumar is just one of

these precious children. This is his story as told by one of our partners:

Rahul comes from a poor Christian family in the northwestern part of India. His parents are farmers and they also work as church planters and evangelists. Rahul was brought to the Maru Asha Children’s Home when he was very young, and now he is studying in the third grade. He is very active in school and is involved in a lot of sports. We pray and hope he will grow to continue the work his parents are doing.

Your investment allows children, like Rahul, to have opportunities to grow and develop in a nurturing environment filled with hope and greater opportunity.

SPONSORSHIP

ight now, millions lack access to the most basic necessities for daily survival, as well as the tools and empowerment they need to stand strong in the seemingly unsurmountable challenges ahead . . . and you refused to look away. You have been involved from the beginning, providing

life-saving aid like clean water, food, medicine, blankets, and more. You have also helped fund a desperately needed mobile medical clinic that services 70-100 people each day. The clinic treats fevers, ailments, and injuries free of charge, preventing these conditions from turning deadly.

This mobile medical clinic has also opened the door for the Gospel to be shared with people like Philip who were addicted to drugs before coming into the clinic. Through the compassionate care of our doctors, Philip found physical, psychological, and spiritual healing. Eventually, he prayed to receive salvation through Jesus Christ.

Thank you for providing hope to refugees like Philip. You are truly investing in something that will outlive you and last for eternity.

hank you for helping us fulfill the Great Commission by providing the Word of God to men and women of faith in Cuba, Nepal, China, Syria, and Iraq.

Through Kingdom Partners’ support this year, we were able to distribute 723 Bibles—investments that truly have an eternal impact.

The Bibles you provided have included the illustrated storybook Bibles for children in the Middle East, Bibles for persecuted Christians in Cuba, and USB Bibles for Chinese university students. Kingdom Partners is truly transforming lives around the world through the power of the Gospel.

I became a Christian three years ago and I always wanted to have a Bible. I am very happy and very excited that you gave me the USB so that I can grow in Christ. I am sharing the USB information on campus with many non-Christian students and please pray that one day, they will become followers of Christ.

—Zong, QiangHai Province

We do not know how we will live without this aid that you provide to us. We are very grateful to you; you make us feel safe and happy. Also, thank you very much for these Holy Bibles; this is the real bread.

BIBLE DISTRIBUTION

his year, Hope of Life was able to reach even more Guatemalans with aid, medical care, and community and spiritual development programs than ever before, especially since their facilities can now house more volunteers on its campus.

In 2015, St. Luke’s Hospital provided healing and attentive care to 4,500 people suffering with everything from life-threatening injuries to minor illnesses. Some days, the hospital may treat as many as 50 malnourished children like Emeri:

Eleven-year-old Emeri was born in an extremely poor home. Her malnourishment was so severe that she didn’t want to attend school because the children made fun of her thin weight. Her case was also complicated by the fact that she was terrified to swallow whole food, fearing she would drown. Today, she has improved greatly through medical, nutritional, and psychological treatment at St. Luke’s. Her parents are extremely grateful as they were in such a difficult economic situation they could not help their daughter. Emeri is expected to make a full recovery.

Your investment in malnourished and suffering children, like Emeri, is invaluable as we seek to bring physical and spiritual healing to the people of Guatemala.

A community of 450 Guatemalans in the dry, arid village of La Torre has benefited greatly from your compassionate giving to provide clean water. People in the community were thrilled to finally see their dream of clean, pure water come true. Through your efforts, communities like La Torre can begin to see lasting change.

It is a great joy we feel when we see the water coming out of that well, and we would like to thank you for all you have done for us.

– Carla Juarez, Resident of La Torre

lean water is an essential component of Kingdom Partners’ strategy to restore health and hope to impoverished communities worldwide. Your gift of clean water in Uganda, India, Nepal, and Guatemala means health, education, and valuable time spent at home or school rather than

searching for water.

uba has seen amazing spiritual growth thanks to your support and the life-changing work that our church planters have accomplished. Kingdom Partners’ faithful partnership has resulted in 68 churches planted and 2,788 people coming to faith in 2015. Since you first began partnering

with us, 82 churches have been established overall.

The people of Cuba are more receptive to the Gospel than ever before, and these church planters’ ministries are expanding every day. People are attending church services to hear about Christ . . . many for the very first time.

G o t h e r e f o r e a n d m a k e d i s c i p l e s . . .— M a t t h e w 2 8 : 1 9 N I V

The community has been impacted with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and we have seen families transformed, living in peace, and sowing love. In this community a church had never been established, but today we have a house to meet in and worship each week. Lives continue to be built and restored. Glory to God.

– Aniela Leon Rodriguez

Many times the Gospel was preached to Zobeida, but she only made fun of us. One day she lost her sight, and she decided to put her faith in Jesus Christ. Today, she testifies that God allowed her illness so she could recognize her insufficiency. This sister serves the Lord faithfully every day and rejoices in knowing Him more.

he Maru Asha Children’s Home in Jaipur continues to help hundreds of children from the surrounding areas and local slums. The expansion you helped provide has resulted in more children getting help, ultimately receiving better opportunities and renewed hope. Without your

investment in this strategic ministry, these children would be trapped in the cycle of unforgiving poverty.

Our partners at Gilgal Children’s Home in Churachandpur, India, report that the children are growing and excelling in their studies—many of them earning top scores on exams. The medical clinic you provided is giving these children much-needed medical care, allowing for healthier bodies and, ultimately, brighter and happier futures.

By God’s grace—and because of the continuous support, love, and prayers from World Help—Gilgal is running smoothly. Praise God! Whenever we seek His help, He is always near us. We are proud to be called the Children of God and we are also proud of being a partner with World Help. We give all the glory and honor to our Father! Thank you for everything. We love each one of you.

alnutrition is a cruelty no child should ever experience—yet, one in five children under the age of 5 is underweight in developing countries. These same children are even sometimes abandoned, as their families simply do not have the ability to provide them with the basic essentials they need.

In Guatemala, Uganda, and Haiti, our partners are working to rehabilitate and restore the health of children suffering from malnutrition. Although easily preventable, malnutrition is devastating to long-term health —and the younger the child, the greater the physical consequences later on in life.

Three-year-old Melvin arrived at Destiny Villages of Hope in Uganda in September. Melvin’s father was abusive and refused to provide financially for Melvin and his three siblings. His mother did her best to grow food for the children, but was unable to provide for other needs without the father’s support. Melvin’s mother turned to the Rescue Home, believing that the loving environment would give him the care he so desperately needed.

RESCUE PROGRAMS

ut Kingdom Partners continues to stand alongside these families. Through your faithful investment in Destiny Campus in Uganda, you are ensuring that children in impoverished communities are receiving an education, medical care, and opportunities to thrive. We’re happy

to report that the pediatric clinic you funded streamlines medical care for these children:

The number of children falling sick has greatly declined because they are noticed quickly and immediately given medical attention. Considering the landscape of Destiny, carrying sick children up and down hills is difficult. Having the clinic within the home is such a great blessing.

—Annet Lutaaya, General Caretaker at Destiny Campus

Your investment is facilitating the development of hundreds of Ugandan students, including a renovation that will create a more spacious learning environment. By providing Destiny with a Secondary Boy’s Dormitory, our partners will now be able to house 400 boys in this new dormitory while turning the previous residence into additional classrooms. Overall, this will provide a more conducive classroom environment for all students while still allowing for enough space to house the children who live on campus.

Additionally, you helped provide our fourth Rescue Home that is providing abandoned and malnourished children a safe haven in which to receive medical attention and grow in a nurturing environment. Kingdom Partners is truly leading the way for a Uganda that is stronger than ever before.

orld Help’s church-planting initiatives are growing rapidly, and so far in 2015 we have seen 746 new churches planted worldwide. Your support of World Help has helped provide for these church planters, and ultimately your partnership with our church planters translates into

thousands of lives being touched by the Gospel. By supporting church-plantinging efforts in dark and desperate places around the world . . . you are truly making an eternal impact!

One of our partners shared this story about a church you funded in India:

Last year, I met a girl named Poonam who had a hole in her heart. She had been going through treatment, but was not getting better. Her family asked me to pray for her and, after that, every one of us have seen a miracle of God in her life. She is completely well, and now her family is coming to the church. Please pray for her family to come into a saving knowledge of Christ.

Your work is equipping believers to worship, grow, and share the Gospel in Nepal, Cuba, India, and China. Thank you for partnering with us and bringing hope to these countries!

CHURCH PLANTING

ith Kingdom Partners’ help this year, we were able to bring physical and emotional healing to many mothers and their newborn children. You are helping restore hope and demonstrating Christ’s love to these women in a culture where they are considered “cursed” for suffering from

obstetric fistula—an excruciatingly painful condition resulting from an extended and difficult labor.

Birhan is one of our safe motherhood ambassadors, and she has already educated more than 350 pregnant women in her community and has assisted others in delivering healthy babies in their health center!

Roman is a 35-year-old woman who recently received care during her fifth pregnancy when she developed fistula. Ostracized by her community, she was grateful to receive medical care and education from these motherhood ambassadors. Today, her health is restored and she is experiencing new acceptance within her community. Now, when she is asked if she’s comfortable educating her community about maternal healthcare, she responds, “Yes, I am comfortable because I am educated. I am cured. I can advise my community confidently.”

Not only are you helping these women in a desperate time of need, but you are also helping prepare them to serve as ambassadors to their own communities as they receive training on maternal healthcare. Thank you for standing with us and proclaiming God’s love for every person.

n 2015 alone, Kingdom Partners provided three small homes in Honduras. These homes are a safe refuge for families, protecting them from varying weather elements and other dangers from life on the streets. They are a first step for these families as they work hard to end the cycle

of poverty and build a better life for themselves.

The Osorios are just one family that you have impacted this year. Residing in Barrio San Francisco, Oscar and his mother now have a place to call home. Oscar shared how grateful he was for this new home that now protects him from mosquitos and storms.

“Thank you for giving me this joy in this New Year. I ask God to continue helping other children who are suffering like me. God bless you all,” said Oscar.

With the help of Kingdom Partners, lives continue to be impacted through your compassion and generosity. Thank you for providing homes to those in need.
