ChildAid Update: Second Half of 2025

Medical Ambassadors Foundation invites us to thank God with them that:

• Sponsored children enjoyed a special outing to buy new clothes, share pizza, and take home a food parcel, a real treat for families.
• June Bible clubs welcomed nearly 150 children for crafts, games, and teaching about Jesus as King.
• Children received school backpacks and learnt practical health tips.
• Children and youth enjoyed summer camps in Erseka with Bible teaching, games, and outdoor challenges, and a football discipleship camp.

Please pray for:

• Give thanks for the many children who came to VBS in Vloçisht and Vashtemi and heard the Good News. Ask God to grow lasting faith.
• Pray for MAF’s youth leaders and volunteers as they mentor children through the year. May God strengthen them in discipleship.

Give great thanks to God for recent successes at Potter’s House:

• Older students recently served on a mission trip to Chiquimula, sharing Jesus’ love with 120 children and experiencing life-changing ministry.
• Children’s Day brought joy through museum visits, games, and fun activities across three regions.
• Bible Day helped Treasures see Scripture as a source of hope, and trauma workshops brought comfort to those facing grief and loss.
• A new kitchen now provides daily lunches in Momostenango, improving health and energy for learning, and younger students reached a reading milestone.

Please pray for:

• Sponsored children whilst they are on their school holidays until mid-January.
• Graduates as they plan their next steps,and for all Treasures to grow in faith and resilience during this break.

We rejoice in what God is doing through JKPS:

• Summer camp (pictured above) brought joy and growth for 347 children, blending games, crafts, and Scripture lessons. They built Noah’s Ark models, memorised verses, and learnt teamwork, a time that strengthened faith and confidence.
• Older students experienced renewal at a youth retreat focused on identity in Christ and overcoming life’s storms. Through worship and teaching, they left encouraged to face challenges with resilience rooted in God’s strength.
• Children took Bible exams with joy, through writing, songs, and memory verses.

Please pray for:

• JKPS’ Christmas celebrations, as children receive gifts and hear the true meaning of Christmas, pray they trust Jesus as Saviour and King.
• Pray older students seek God’s wisdom for their future.

Word of Hope Orphanage invites us to thank God for:

• God’s protection during four floods this year. All 50 children and staff remained safe and cared for.
• Older children actively serve in church through choir and social work, learning responsibility, leadership, and faith in action.
• School success and growth: 15 children earned academic awards, and during holidays they enjoyed extra lessons in music, grammar, and guitar.
• Special blessings like a bowling outing in September, a rare treat that gave the children laughter, fun, and a sense of normalcy beyond orphanage life.

Please pray for:

• Continued spiritual growth for the children as they live out their faith and serve in church through singing, dancing, and choir.
• Provision for ongoing needs and wisdom for staff as they care for every child.
