Giving Hope

ZOE's Giving Hope Project in Maua Kenya, educates and trains young (15-22 yrs.) heads of household in vocations, crafts, and life skills that will restore their families, their dignity, and provide them with an on-going self generating source of income. It has been a remarkable success.

The first ever Hope Walk will be held in the Wilmington area December 4-5, 2009. Over 100 youth will raise funds to support 100 new families in the Giving Hope program in Maua. While Wilmington youth are raising funds, 100 graduates of the Giving Hope Program in Maua will be walking/running a 10K. The event has already sparked much “hope” in the city of Maua with several city officials and dignitaries scheduled to be involved. The group in Wilmington and the walkers in Maua Kenya will “link up” via satellite on the late evening of December 4th at Wesley Memorial United Methodist Church. To contribute, contact Kristin Bednarczyk at Wesley Memorial (910-791-4092).

We are happy to have Stanley and Mary Gitari, from Maua, Kenya, come and speak about the Giving Hope Program, as well as other mission opportunities in Maua, Dec. 2nd at 6:30-7:30 in the Wesley Memorial Activity Center Gym. Stanley and Mary are administrators for the Maua Methodist Hospital.

Come hear about the Hope Walk that Wilmington area youth are involved in, and the many other mission opportunities available in Maua.

This is an exciting time in our community, as we are connecting with another community across the world, to be God's instrument in blessing others as we have been so blessed
