Receive greetings from Kariobangi Center! We are grateful that God has seen us through this past term. We would like to share some highlights with you. Thank you for your support and prayers. Faith Otondi Head Teacher, Kariobangi   ![Pencil - Primary Blue - Icon 2-1](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Icons/Pencil%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%202-1.png?width=883&height=889&name=Pencil%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%202-1.png) ### School Highlights - Our music club won at the sub-county level in the Kenya Music Festivals and advanced to the regional competition, where they placed fourth. - Students competed in volleyball, soccer, handball, and chess, performing well and advancing to regional level. ![Church - Primary Blue - Icon 3](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/Church%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%203.png?width=951&height=1212&name=Church%20-%20Primary%20Blue%20-%20Icon%203.png) ### Church Highlights - Junior school students participated in [Ignite](https://mohiafrica.org/what-we-do/ignite/), MOHI’s youth conference for Grade 7 and 8 students. During the event, 10 students gave their lives to Christ. - A 12-day prayer and fasting program brought the congregation together and strengthened our commitment to seeking God. - At a finance and leadership meeting, members discussed a prayer conference, outreach activities, indoor ministry, and church roof renovations. - Members also gathered in large numbers for worship during night vigils. ![MOHI\_Icon-Impct\_v1\_07-13-23-1](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hs-fs/hubfs/MOHI_Icon-Impct_v1_07-13-23-1.png?width=100&height=100&name=MOHI_Icon-Impct_v1_07-13-23-1.png) ### Together in Ministry - A team from Antioch Christian Church led a Vacation Bible School for more than 500 students. Students enjoyed lessons, crafts, and games, and those in Grades 4 and 5 also went on a field trip. - We worked alongside a team from Eastside Christian Church in Anaheim, California, on a community enhancement project that improved living conditions for eight families.   ![icon-stars](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-stars.svg) ### A Story of Hope Susan was supporting her family through casual jobs, but the income was unpredictable. During a difficult period, she approached MOHI and enrolled her daughter, Anne, in the program. At school, Anne received learning necessities, a uniform, nutritious meals, access to medical care and the opportunity to hear the life-changing message of Jesus Christ. Staff also made regular home visits, sharing God’s Word and encouraging Susan to join others in fellowship. Over time, Susan began attending a local church, where she continues to grow in faith and participate in church activities. She also started a small food business in her neighborhood. It has grown into a source of income that helps her meet her family’s basic needs. Anne is doing well in her studies, arrives at school on time, and participates actively in class. She is also involved in her church. Susan values the medical care available to the family through MOHI, and they continue looking ahead with hope. A different name has been used to honor privacy.   ![icon-hands](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-hands.svg) ### Prayer Requests - Pray for peace in families and for economic opportunities for community members. - Pray for spiritual growth and unity in the congregation, and for continued fruit from the prayer and fasting program. - Pray for consistent church participation, deeper commitment, and opportunities to welcome new people. - Pray for evangelism through prayer walks, open-air preaching, public transport ministry, and the planned outreach weekend, so that people hear the Gospel and grow in Christ.   ![icon-heart](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-heart.svg) ### Encourage Your Sponsored Child As you read about how God is working, please consider sending a message of encouragement to your sponsored child through the [MOHI mobile app](https://mohiafrica.org/mobile-app/) or through your [online sponsor account](https://give.mohiafrica.org/login).
