"The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it!"

I love the message of 1 Thess 5:24; "The One who calls you is faithful, and HE will do it." Indeed we see the faithfulness of God all around us....... and want to share a few pictures of what He is doing!

Ladies Bible Study in Kibera

Every Thursday we meet with about 15 ladies in a small classroom in Kibera to dig into God's word, draw close to Him and deepen our relationship with one another. 
In the process we have seen Him encourage, equip & edify every member! 


St. Catherine's Children's Home

Located in the Kibera slum, St. Catherine's is home to 28 children who are without parents. As part of the Compassion Ministry Program under Life Community Church, New Hope facilitates Discipleship studies for the youth over 12 years of age. Gosh we love these kids...they are bright, eager to know the Lord and full of LIFE!

Ladies' Life Group

 A home cell group of Life Community Church, 14 ladies gather every Tuesday night to pray, worship and discuss personal application of God's word. Acts 2 community in action!
Joanna, our fearless leader!


Upcountry 

About every three months we travel upcountry to visit family, friends and students that New Hope prays for and helps sponsor. Always a joy to "catch-up" with everyone and see how the kids are doing!

Koinonia Fellowship & Other Ministry Events

We are called by God to be in fellowship with one another...to walk the journey of faith together. Relationship is the foundation for community and community is the vehicle for ministry. These are but a few of the friends & events we have been part of over the past few months.
