"You, therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.” 2 Tim. 2:1-2

The Future of Zimbabwe

Hands of Hope Trust hosted 187 youths for a conference from May 6th to 9th, with the theme "Christ Sunrise - Living a Christ-Centered Life." The purpose of the conference was to equip young people in HOHT projects with biblical teaching, social skills, and prepare them to start and maintain vibrant children’s ministries in their respective churches. Our intended goals were achieved. The conference was able to minister to the holistic being of a person, which is body, soul, and spirit. We are investing in a generation of leaders who will be set apart like Daniel, Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego, who did not conform to the godlessness in their culture.

I had the privilege, along with pastors and contributors of sharing about living the “crucified life.”  Here are some quotes from some of our HOH youth.

• “I thank God because it was the first chance that I had to attend an HOH youth conference at Habitation of Hope. It was one of those times when God appears and shows His greatness when you least expect it.”  Erer

• “HOH is a pillar of strength for so many of us young people across Zimbabwe, including myself.”  Ruvarashe.

• “I want to thank God for allowing me to attend this HOH youth conference. I was able at deeper levels to understand the Word of God, and I know that I am a new creation in Christ.”  2 Cor. 5:17

Your generosity has contributed to their growth into the likeness of the Lord Jesus. Thank you!

For His name and fame,
Glen and Patty
