Swahili bookmarks for Kenya mission

Around mid Jan 09, I sent 500 Swahili bookmarks to Alison in the US for her mission trip to Kenya. Below are the pictures which she has kindly sent me and I really appreciate them!

Swahili bookmarks for African Orphan Outreach

This is one of those amazing ways that God works – Christine, from African Orphan Outreach, found my site and requested bookmarks for the children. Below is a picture of 55 of the kids in one of AOO’s supported orphanages in Kenya with the Cote’s (Founders of AOO) and their children. The Kenya rain forest is in the background.

And below is a thank you note from AOO for the bookmarks sent, a lovely note, thanks so much!

Dear Mei,
Thank you so very much for the wonderful Swahili bookmarks. You are so
generous to provide these sweet gifts for each of the over 200 orphaned
children in our African Orphan Outreach sponsorship program. They will so
enjoy recieving these and use them in their Bibles or other books with
great pride and as a cherished keepsake.

The orphans in our program have overcome so much in their lives as many
have lost parents to malaria or the AIDS pandemic that is sweeping across
Africa. But each of them knows Jesus as their Lord and saviour and they
have an amazing sense of hope that can only come from Him.

Here is a message from one of our sponsor children, Henry (pictured):
“I just pray for God to give you health and that you live many years in
the world. Here in Kenya we are so happy to be praising and worshiping
God. Long ago my life had troubles, but then I came to the children’s home
and I am happy. Those that help needy people God will bless them. I would
like to give you a verse from the book of Philipians. ‘Rejoice in the Lord
always and again I say rejoice.’ God bless you, Henry W.”

Blessings to you and your ministry work.

(Swahili for “Thank You” & “God Bless You”)

Ushering 2009 with Hope – Calendar

I am ushering 2009 with a sense of hope and anticipation!

No doubt that worries of recession are at the back of my mind, but going into my 6th year of christian life, somehow I feel that it will be a year of change and therefore, a year to witness how God will work in my life.

I designed and printed this business card size calendar to give away. Yellow is the color of hope and this yellow is the Color of the Year. With this verse Psalm 31: 24 ‘Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord.’, I will cross into 2009 with hope in a few hours time.

I printed 5000 copies of these calendars. 3,400 given to 2 Shanghai churches, 360 to 2 Singapore churches, 700+ to my colleagues, 240+ to my friends and have 100 left. Anyone who wish to spread hope with this calendar, do contact me.

My prayer that people who face changes in 2009 will hold fast to the hope that is in Jesus.

Thanks to my friend who provided this picture and I am so glad that she found my blog by ‘accident’! Need lots of prayer that God will use these bookmarks as a blessing; I only design and print them but do not know who they are meant to bless :)
