Another year has nearly passed us by, but unlike any other; this one has made momentous imprints in our lives.

The villainous tsunami brought with it: fear, devastation, tears, bereavement and displacement… We have heard these words so much this year…so much so that we may have lost sight of their true meaning. It is however not a time to dwell on those words but to rise above and stand strong in faith– to rejoice & utter thanks, to celebrate life & salvation, to move ahead continuously guided by His light.

We are truly privileged to be chosen by Him as channels of love to help all those in need.

As much as our purpose was to touch the lives of others, our lives in turn have been truly and amazingly touched.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to our donors from all over the world – we are grateful for your funds, your prayers and your friendship. We can proudly state that 100% of funds received were from Christians and Christian organizations.

Cast and creed were never a factor in deciding the beneficiaries. Details of all donations made are available to anyone who may be interested. We have also published some of the many pictures of those lives who have benefited in the hope of sharing their joy with you.

We look forward to the year ahead and the work He has planned out for us.

Please continue to pray for our country and our people – especially those whose lives were affected by the tsunami… that their eyes may see & their ears may hear…

We wish you a blessed Christmas & a New Year filled with glorious signs and wonders!
