$256,338 spent. In 2025, we made two trips to Liberia, Africa with a total of 29 people to continue our work there on the Hope Campus, to deepen relationships through conferences and provided pastor training. We worked with children to teach them about Jesus and also visited the prison. We were also able to take a team of 20 members on a trip to Kenya and Uganda, Africa. We did more pastor training and kids carnivals and handed out water systems. Another trip took 17 people to Honduras to participate in leader training and be involved with the kids programs there. We had 3 men travel to 11 other African countries doing Biblical training for several churches and church leaders.
$6,353 spent. One of the things we do as we travel in Africa is take personal water systems to different communities. One of the biggest needs in a lot of Africa is safe drinking water. This year we purchased 170 of the personal water systems that we handed out in Liberia, Kenya and Uganda The individuals benefitting from these projects is countless.
$210,291 spent. We continued construction on the Hope Center near Marshall, Liberia as well as construction on the Hope Center in Rakai, Uganda. These hope centers are a central location for a training center, church, community center and water distribution. We have been able to hold many conferences and do training for adult skills. These also provide a home base for our teams as we travel to Africa throughout the year.
