What a wonderful thing that God has given us a new year and a new decade. May we be grateful for each day that He has allowed us to serve Him.
As I reflect back on this past year it has been one of blessings and struggles, goals met and new challenges to achieve. With God we continue on and know that we can “do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” (Phil 4:13)
Some things we accomplished in 2019:
All of this and much more has only been possible because of people like you who have a heart to give to help these children arise out of poverty. The changes we are seeing cannot be expressed in words. God is moving mountains to change these lives. To think that these children have overcome so much and will give glory to God over and over. We see the miracles every single day.
We invite all of you reading this to come and join us on the hill for just a short time to witness the miracles.
To God be the glory for what HE is doing!!
We thank God for all who gave to Operation Christmas Shoes in 2019. We fell a little bit short of our goal but are very grateful to have collect about $2500 of our $3000 goal. Thank YOU!! From the children and all of us. You have truly blessed their lives.

Primary School
Our Primary School is off to a great start. Each day more and more new students are coming to get a good education. Please pray for them as the teachers and students work with changes in curriculum to meet the new government standards for education.
Secondary School
Our secondary/high school is off to a great year. With some new teachers on board, our focus will be helping our children more with math skills than ever before. We want our school to be one of excellence in the area. Please pray for them.
To God be the glory!
Next up on our list of needs for development is the need for our preschool classrooms.
Our preschool continues to grow. Currently we have over 50 children attending . They are meeting in one classroom with a wooden divider between the classrooms. It is very difficult to teach noisy preschool children under these conditions. We want to offer our little ones the best start to their education as possible but we cannot do it without your help.
Here is what is estimated to be our need for our preschool.
(Please note: we have changed the way we will build according to what works best with our contractor. Instead of one classroom at a time, he prefers to build all of the foundation, walls, etc at the same time.)
Building for their future!
Preschool Total Donated Balance needed
Classroom 1 $7,000 $5,050 $1,950
Classroom 2 $7,000 $0 $7,000
Classroom 4 $7,000 $0 $7,000
Office, tables, etc. $7,000 $0 $7,000
Bath house and water tank $3,000 $3,000 Completed
$31,000 $8,050 $22,950
We are very close to what is needed for the first classroom.
Can you help build for their Future?

Meet Beatrice!
Beatrice is 14 years old and just started 8th grade. Beatrice was abandoned as a baby and was taken in by a widower to raise with his son. He was later killed in the post-election violence of 2008, leaving Beatrice alone once again. Her brother became part of New Beginnings and then begged us to take his sister. Beatrice is an average student with her strength being Science. She is asking for prayers to be able to focus well in school and mostly she wants prayers to find a partial sponsor. Please pray for Beatrice.
Could you be the answer to her prayers?
We have a correction in our interns for 2020. We now have 3 interns serving at New Beginnings
These 3 will serve at New Beginnings for about 6 months until going to university or colleges.
Things are looking so much brighter for these students because someone gave them a chance. Please keep them in prayer.
Donate to our College/University Scholarship Fund to help give them and others an amazing future.
You can donate to the scholarship fund for a certain student or a general donation to the Scholarship Fund. If a student goes over and above what is needed, the funding will help another student in need.
If you have donated scholarship money to a certain student, we will do our best to get it to the school they choose. If the student decides to not attend a school, it will go to help other students who want to further their education.
Currently we have many children living at New Beginnings who have lost their sponsors or came as an emergency cases. These children can use either a partial or full sponsor.
To remain in our program, we need your help to find them sponsors.
Visit our Sponsorship page to view more children in need.
Please share this great need with your family and friends.
