Prayer Letter May (Mother’s Day) 2024
Dear Prayer Partners:
They came to Capernaum. When Jesus was in the house He asked them, “What were you arguing about on the road?” But they kept quiet because they had argued about who was the greatest.
Sitting down Jesus called the Twelve and said, “If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last and servant of all.”
He took a little child and had him stand among them. Taking the child in His arms He said to the them, “Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me.”
–Mark 9:33–36
This week we are celebrating National Volunteer Week. It is a week when we give thanks to all the people who give of themselves without pay to serve their community or organization. In the words of Jesus, they become servants offering their various skills so as to build a better life for people.
Ohfi is so dependent upon volunteers. They make up the fabric of our organization so that we can provide a service to impoverished and vulnerable children and families overseas. Without our volunteers, our work would not be.
It is then with heartfelt gratitude that we thank our prayer partners, sponsors, fundraisers, document writers, board members, country group members, trainers, account keepers, social workers, policy writers, advisors, organisers/leaders of overseas training/visitors groups, web site, and social media designers and publicity.
We pray God blesses all our volunteers with a sense of fulfillment as they serve the vision of Ohfi. In working for the benefit of poor and vulnerable children may they experience in a wonderful way the presence of God in their lives as Jesus promised in the scripture above.
Thanks giving.
Very recently two of our volunteers, Carmel Hurdle and Kim Ostern, led a group of people to visit the ministry of Ohfi in Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia. Carmel and Kim are currently finalising reports on their visits but they speak positively about their experiences, and the good outcomes they observed from the Ohfi projects benefitting children, young people, and their families. They also speak positively of the interest, involvement, and awareness gaining of the group members who traveLled with them. We thank God for Carmel and Kim and for those who travelled with them. Their servant hearts have brought great blessings to the people of Africa.
