28 Dec 15 Years, 15 Reasons To Rejoice!

Fifteen years ago I made a journey across East Africa. Our new ministry team was interested in learning from the local Christians and discovering ways we could partner with the good work already taking place in the region. Wow! Fifteen years later there is so much to celebrate!

All glory goes to Christ for what he has accomplished! Matthew 12 describes Jesus as the one who “In His name the nations will put their hope.” We remain convinced that his name is the true and only hope for the nations. God has proved this over and over.

For the past 15 years, God has graciously worked through Lahash, our ministry partners, and each of you to bring holistic care and the hope of Christ to hundreds of East Africa’s most vulnerable children. As we mark this ministry milestone, we wanted to celebrate these 15 accomplishments with all of you. Lives are being changed as the Good News of Jesus is proclaimed and displayed in so many ways. All glory to God for seeing us through 15 years of ministry, and for filling our hearts with hope for what is yet to come!

Thank you so much for being a part of this movement! Thank you for partnering with us to care for these dear children. Thank you for your faithful and generous financial support. Thank you for praying with us for transformation and hope. Now, as we launch into the journey of our next fifteen years we invite you to once again stand with us and with the amazing kids served by our team. This December, will you give a generous year-end gift to Lahash?

Will you invest in the lives of young men like Sekwat Emmanuel who recently graduated with honors from Uganda Christian University? Each child is beautifully and wonderfully made in the image of God. Every day at Lahash we have the opportunity to see Christ at work in the lives of these children — healing, redeeming, restoring, and making lives new. This work is so, so worth it.

Thank you for your partnership.
