			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h4>End Of 2011 Ministry Report, <em>Compassionate Missions Center, Malawi</em></h4>
<h4>Dear Friends and Partners,<br />
There was no way we could do what we did in the year 2011 without your sacrificial prayer and financial support. There were so many times I just kept opening my eyes wide opened seeing what the Lord was doing and wished you were here seeing what I was seeing. There is no such a big miracle than seeing a person surrendering his or her life to Jesus. That is what we kept on seeing every where we went with whatever means we used to reach to them. Yes, we saw the young, the old, both sexes coming to the Lord. He kept on setting them free, healing them of their infirmities….Once again, thank you for your supporting us. I look forward to your continued support in the year 2012. Here at <em>Compassionate Missions Center, Malawi, </em>we are so excited to see what our Father is about to do for each one of us, including you.</h4>
<p><strong>1 CRUSADES</strong></p>
<p>The spreading of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is in our blood. Reaching people with the Gospel, specifically in the remote areas and in places where the Gospel has least been preached. Every man must be given the chance to hear the Gospel of our Lord and its forgiving power. It is through this we plant churches in every crusade we conduct for the churches working closely with us. Some times we just preach and have the churches in the communities share the new converts. Last year we had 19 of such crusades. Many of the outreaches in Malawi are done in cities and towns and developing trading centers. We feel the call is to go into those places which are neglected and are hardly reached. That is what exactly you helped us to do in 2011.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>2 PRISON MINISTRY</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">When we are not out in the remote, dusty areas of Malawi for the preaching of the Gospel, we are doing Prison Ministry. We have established structures there and what we do is to disciple, equip them with His word. In 2011 we also provided to the converts and non converts with some basic daily needs such as soap, lotion, clothes, drugs which the inmates badly need etc.</p>
<p><strong>3 CHILDREN MINISTRY</strong></p>
<p>In our quest to reach the un-reached people, Children Ministry has been part and parcel of the work. In 2011, when we were in the field, we conducted Children crusades during the day and main crusades during the night.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>4 ORPHANAGE</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">It is so amazing seeing how the orphanage has already transformed lives of the children we are keeping. We simply call it a Home for All. Most of the children we have did not have a chance of eating three times a day. Did not have a descent place to stay. Could not reach the high education they have in the mean time! Did not have an opportunity of access to free, better medication as they have now. You should look at Bertha for example who is HIV positive and came to us a very sick girl who could hardly do anything. Today she is up and doing much better at school. The orphanage runs is parallel with the feeding program</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>5 FEEDING PROGRAMM</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Last year we were feeding 50 to 60 children daily from Monday through Friday lunch and breakfast. Whilst the orphans have to eat supper and during the weekends. Most of the children we fed were orphans and many of them can hardly afford a meal per day. They depend on us. These are children from surrounding villages.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>6 SUPPLIMENTARY FEEDING PROGRAMM</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">This is a program of feeding the very sick persons. Mainly those which are HIV/AIDS and TB positive and are taking ARV and TB drugs. They are mostly the worn out sick persons and at the point of death. In 2011 we had two groups of people which used to come for the supplementary feeding at our hospital .and those we went into their homes as they were bed ridden.</p>
<p>A- Children which are HIV positive and taking ARVs. We had 40 to 50 children every Wednesday in a fort night.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">B- We had the aged in groups of 39, 45, and 52 coming every Friday. It has to be noted that the figures are growing rapidly that we fail to accommodate everyone who comes for the food supplementary program. The growing figures are because the Government is no longer able to provide supplementary Food Aid to its needy people.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>7 HOUSE TO HOUSE FEEDING PROGRAMM</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">In 2011 we took food aid to the hungry, into their homes. This year, 2012, there is an estimated figure of 200,000 in the Southern Region of Malawi alone that they are going to be affected by hunger. We have already started seeing the effects of that at our Center. Where many people travel for kilometers just to ask for maize flour. 2011 entering 2012, we have given out tones of maize and few tons of rice, Beans, Cocking oil, salt, sugar to such hungry people, etc. Most of the beneficiaries were the chronically sick people, the disabled, the orphans, the elderly widowed etc. What a joy it has been for example, to see an elderly lady dancing just because you brought her some kilograms of maize, sugar, salt.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>8 HOSPITAL</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Malawi is going through so many tough times in the recent years. One of them is the provision of health services. There are no drugs in the Government hospitals. People go there for treatment and are told to go back without any treatment at all. Compassionate Mission Clinic is to avert the so many health challenging issues our targeted people, the poor of the poorest are meeting with. In 2011 we managed to avert deaths which could have occurred if we were not there as a hospital through OPD, Under Five Clinic, Family Planning, Voluntarily Counseling and Testing (VCT) Basic Laboratory Services Most of our clients at the hospital could not afford to pay the drug revolving fund fee . We ended up giving them free treatment.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>9 PALIATIVE CARE</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">It was a blessing for us in 2011 to give hope to the dying of terminal diseases through palliative care in conjunction with St. Luke’s Hospital which provided with personnel and drugs and Compassionate provided with transportation, spiritual support and physical support to the terminally sick people. We were doing this every Wednesday of 2011.</p>
<p><strong>10 MOBILE CLINC</strong></p>
<p>In 2011 we had two mobile clinic outreaches n the deep remote areas. Bringing a &laquo;free hospital&raquo; to those who are very far from it in the remote areas. During the night we conducted crusades.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>11 HOUSING THE HOMELESS</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">There was no way we could be silent or pay a blind eye to the plight of many who do not have a place to sleep. How could we do that, for example, to this lady and her orphaned children: Her only daughter was abducted magically for one and half months. She could not be traced. The poor old, widowed lady was literally staying under a tree. Yes, under a tree. People prayed for the &laquo;abducted&raquo; daughter She was a day later found in the brown grass alive. We ended up building a house for them. In 2011r we managed to build four houses for such kind of needy homeless people.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>12 SAFE WATERS</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">There is no need to emphasis for the need for safe water in the poor communities where we go. Why should a child drown in a river in search for water? Why should there be continued water borne killing diseases, killing children and women? Why should women wake up at 2AM walk for so many kilometers , raped on the way just to get a bucket of water from a cistern which is so dirty? That has been history last year in three places where we drilled bole holes!</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>13 CHILD SPONSOPSHIP PROGRAM</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Lukia is a young girl coming from a Muslim background. We took her when she was in Standard Two. One lady who heard about her started sponsoring her on a monthly basis. She finished her Form Four and is currently working in a small shop. Her plans are to become a nurse. Today she is the only learned person in her home villages. All her sisters and home girls have more than two children each. Lukia is Born Again Christian and loves the Lord so much. What a life changing program child sponsorship is. Last year I struggled to have more children being sponsored.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>14 PAYING SCHOOL FEES FOR NEEDY STUDENTS</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">In 2011 we paid school fees for 32 students. Most of these are young girls who have no one to take care of them and without helping them; they would have been in early marriages and prostitution. Most of these take care of their siblings. What a chance the Lord has given us to pave a future for these by educating them.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>15 MICROFINANCE PROGRAMM</strong></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">The end result of the people we lift up is to empower them. So that they can be self reliant. They can support themselves and their families. Two years ago we started this with soft loans for our targeted people as most of them bought farm inputs such as fertilizer, seeds, etc. As we went into the second year of the program this growing and harvesting season, 46 persons benefitted for the same farm input services. Pray with us please as the rains are so bad this year with some parts planting and uprooting the plants three times for lack of enough rains.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><strong>16 CHRISTMASS WIT A DIFFERENCE</strong></p>
<p>What a time we had during Christmas and on the 26. December! We provided meals to more than 120 people including children. We gave out 10kgs of maize to all those who came, blankets, mosquito nets clothes, peanut butter (chiponde). Note books, pencils and pens, soap, body lotion. Of-course the climax of it all was the sharing of God’s Word to those who came!</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">Come on the 26th December! We were stuck, no fuel. We needed to reach out to the very sick people. We just hired pushing bicycles and sent them their gifts. A blanket, mosquito net, maize, Sugar, rice, meat, soap, body lotion, etc. Out of 26 most sick people we planned to visit, we managed 23. We personally visited 3 people whom we shared with God’s Word.</p>
<p align="JUSTIFY">To see the un-touched getting touched,</p>

<h3>God’s Glory Children Foundation is a non-profit organisation with the aim to help orphaned and needy children in Ghana. We primarily work in Kasoa (close to Accra – the capital of Ghana) but are hoping to expand the work we do to more areas in this country.</h3>
<p>We are a newly founded and small foundation that hopes to touch the lives of many. We are run locally and thus know all of the people we help and know their exact needs. Also through being run by locals we are in harmony with the local customs and cultures that many overseas organisations find a barrier to success while working in Ghana. This in turn means that we work very efficiently and do not have the cost of an overseas office. In addition, we pride ourselves in the fact that we have no paid position, which means that all donations go directly towards the projects that we run.<a href="http://travelingdifferently.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/377822_229935527070529_228493737214708_643463_2138416838_n.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1017" title="God's Glory Children Foundation in Ghana" src="http://travelingdifferently.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/377822_229935527070529_228493737214708_643463_2138416838_n-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a></p>
<p>In Kasoa, we work in partnership with Maranatha prep-school where we are currently sponsoring 43 children, paying for their school and lunch fees and providing them with uniforms and textbooks. We are looking for more sponsors to help these children and with just 535 Ghana Cedi’s ($340, £210, €250) per year you could fully pay for a child’s education.</p>
<p>Many of the children we support would otherwise be working on the streets as they would not be able to pay their school fees. In Swuadro Bobekoma (a rural area also within the Central Region of Ghana) we are also supporting 25 children at the moment; however, due to the lack of funding they have not been able to start schooling as of now.</p>
<p><a href="http://travelingdifferently.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSCN1861.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1013" title="Volunteering in Ghana" src="http://travelingdifferently.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DSCN1861-225x300.jpg" alt="" width="225" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>Furthermore, at the moment we receive volunteers from abroad who help teach the children at Maranatha prep-school. In the future we would also like to receive more volunteers also for other schools, the church and to help us in our quest to improve the health of the children we support, by placing the volunteers in the local hospitals. We are hoping to not only provide the children with health care but also educate them on how they can care for themselves and their families, for example through HIV/Aids awareness campaigns at schools.<a href="http://travelingdifferently.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ghana41.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-1015" title="Volunteers help orphaned and needy children in Ghana" src="http://travelingdifferently.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Ghana41-300x272.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="272" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>At the moment we are raising funds to build a home for the orphaned and needy children, providing them with a roof over their heads and a family atmosphere. At this home we would also like to build a school to provide them with the needed education (without school fees) to give all of them the key to a brighter future.</p>

<p>Dear Brother</p>
<p>It is after much prayer and thoughtfulness that the love of God has constrained us to send you this note, hoping and trusting that it will find you in the best of health and rejoicing in the goodness of the Lord.<br />
We had connections sometimes back, but somehow, the devil messed up with my email account and things got mixed up. This is due to the fact that we use public commercial computers.<br />
Now that I have opened another one, I am request you once more, that you get in touch for the good of the destitute and orphaned children under our care and to the glory of God.<br />
Remain praying that the Lord will impress you and respond within the shortest time limit.</p>
<p>Be blessed in all.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Dear Servant Of the Lord,<br />
I am humbled on the kind of work the lord is using you to do as a Servant and as how the lord can connect his people. I looked at your Web and then it moved me to ask you for friendship and even a right hand in fellowship, and even if the lord allows you if you can come over and be with us in a meeting we are planning for the lord in Kenya western province, starting feb 16-18th this year. I want to have you as our speaker too.</p>
<p>And I am asking you to pray about these firs and please let me know what the lord is leading you to do as per this request to work together.</p>
<p>The lord has for the past 14 years been speaking to me about Revival and I am in Gods direction humbling to get the instruction to get the Church ready for His second coming as we preach the end time gospel.</p>
<p>He has insisted on Holiness and Righteousness as this is the key to getting to the kingdom of heaven, I am requesting you to pray and listen to the holy spirit for the days are evil, only obey the lords leading.</p>
<p>Our ministry, <strong>God With Us Mission Team</strong>, is working with orphans, widows and destitute children in Africa, but we are focusing more on evangelism in the villages. At the moment, I am asking you to accept coming over to just stand with us.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Yours in Christ,</p>

I and my team seen your web site and feel very happy, praise the God, then we can pray and write this letter to your notice.</h2>
<p>My area is Khammam district. Khammam is one of district among 23 districts of Andhra Pradesh State. Khammam is Khammam Capital. Total 46 Mandal , 784 Villages are in this District. Khammam have a distance of 180 km. from Hyderabad. Total population of Khammam is 2565412, whitc 1299245 are males and 1266167 are females. Khammam is in 17th. position in the state by population.</p>
<p><strong>About our organization</strong><br />
United Gospel Assembly is a registered charitable Cristian organization blessed by the promise of our Lord. Since it was started in the year 2000, by Rev. Korakoppu Lazarus and his wife Sudha, our Lord blessed UGA abundantly, and our local Congregation is about 30 churches with strength of 250 believers in each church. Miraculously.</p>
<p>God has changed impossible conditions of our lives to a possible and purposeful ministry by uniting about 30 pastors to strengthen UGA in Andhra Pradesh day to day. By the grace of God, in 2005 we started an orphanage for parentless children. We started with 10 children and now it is 23 children in the Christ Care Home. We are taking care of shelter, food, education and medical facilities. Also a Widow and Oldage home are organized to take care of widows and poor old people to ensure the care of Christ in them. For a promise and potential life. We also conduct Gospel crusades, Gospel out reach campaigns, yearly gospel convocations and pastor conference with convocations and ordinations ceremony.</p>
<p><strong>Evangelic ministry<br />
</strong>United Gospel Assembly is a dedicated Evangelic ministry, and when it was started there were no churches. But through our outreach ministry gospel campaign, we brought many fruits among Indian populations, as in Andhra Pradesh. We have about 11 church buildings. Planted and built for the glory of God and appointed pastors in different regions and different tribes, where there are great tribulation and prosecutions to spread the word of God in remote tribal areas. Having suffered several social economical troubles, we constrained our selves, but by the love of our Lord, we built and established these many churches for his Glory. Yet we are looking forward to build more through His help.</p>
<p><strong>Christ Care Home<br />
</strong>Having started Christ Care Home for the parentless children in 2005, with just 10 children as orphans, there are now about 23 children as given a good education and we correcting them to live in Christ. And when they are educated thru Christ, they will be Christian oriented citizens in the society and are capable of sharing love of Christ one to another.</p>
<p><strong>Bible women and pastors<br />
</strong>UGA sends bible women and pastors in to 60 villages to spread the Gospel and conduct house meetings among believers. UGA has trained devoted Christian women to serve as bible woman, as go around the villages and distributes Christian literature and bibles. And to encourage the women to bring people together for worship god and to win many perishing souls in the villages.<br />
After 11 years of ministry this year, UGA is able to support about 30 pastors with bicycles, audio equipments, Christian literature and bibles to work among villages and tribal people in the remote areas. And to bring the believers into Christ fold.</p>
<p><em>UGA has baptized several hundreds of people from different regions of the Indian population to conceal them into Christ. UGA has gone through several harassments and prosecutions from the secular religious country of India.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Dear friend,<br />
my name is Kennedy Ochieng, and I am president and founder of Mzungu Volunteers, Uganda.</h2>
<p>I decided five years ago that I should devote my life to make a difference in the lives of children living in orphanages and remote villages across Uganda.<br />
Today there are three big projects are waiting for volunteers to get them kick-start. At the orphanage and school I support, I will need good hard-working volunteers. I would be grateful to know if your organization may be interested in sending a person or group to Uganda, where they will make an incredibly positive impact on the lives of children trapped in poverty.<br />
I offer an enriching experience for foreign volunteers to come to Uganda and work with these projects. You can help to build schools, educate young Ugandans in mathematics, English and art, or install water systems.<br />
While you&#8217;re here, you will have the opportunity to travel around the Pearl of Africa and see this wonderful country&#8217;s beauty, including Murchison and Queen Elizabeth National Park, The Bwindi Impenetrable Forrest and Lake Bunyoni.</p>
<h4>I can promise the volunteers an adventure of a lifetime.</h4>
<p>Please review our website <a href="http://www.mzunguvolunteers.org/" target="_blank">www.mzunguvolunteers.org</a> and  contact me if you think you can help. Thank you for taking the time to receive my letter,</p>
