Last Tuesday, 17 guys and 1 girl started a five month course in Photography. In this group of 20 people, myself and my translator included, there are 4 countries represented (Malawi, D.R.C., Burundi, U.S.A), 4 different heart languages and an age span of 10 years! One of There is Hope’s most popular and ever growing programs is our Vocational Training program.

For the next hour, this room is my workspace. This Thursday morning is a particularly busy morning at our ministry center.

Next week our 1st Bible School class will take the final exams for their 3rd semester. People are running around finalizing certificates from their completed vocational training classes, preparing classrooms for the next group of students, visiting the library to study for exams, having meetings, finalizing details for… Read more >>
