Hope Transforms: A Success Story
Edgar\* is a Grade 7 student at our Mathare North Center. Over time, his teachers noticed that he spent much of his time in school crying. He always seemed withdrawn, and his academic performance began to decline. Concerned, his teacher gently asked what was bothering him. That was when Edgar disclosed what was happening at home.
His parents had been frequently fighting and frequently hurling insults at each other. This unrest always left Edgar and his siblings overwhelmed. They knew no peace at home.
We decided to pay the family a visit to better understand the situation. During the first three visits, tension remained high and meaningful conversation seemed impossible. Even while we were there, the mother continued to verbally attack her husband. But we did not give up. On the fourth visit, we facilitated a calm conversation between the two parents. By the time we were leaving, the mother who had been insisting that the husband leave the house was willing to discuss with the husband the way forward.
The next day, Edgar came to school with good news: there was peace at home. We made another follow-up visit and confirmed that the parents had talked through their issues and agreed to work together.
Today, the parents can sit together, talk and make plans as a family. Edgar and his siblings are happier, more stable and grateful to experience calmness and peace at home.

### Term Highlights
- One hundred and forty one kindergarten students graduated and will be ready to join Grade 1 in the next school term. We celebrated them in a joyful graduation ceremony that was attended by their families and friends.
- We organized prayers to dedicate our Grade 6 and 9 students who were sitting for the national tests. The students will be joining junior high school and senior high school respectively.
- A total of 165 students from our center attended the grand Ignite program, where they were deeply inspired and encouraged in their faith.
### Church Highlights
- We held two community meetings and several evangelism activities where more than 550 people were ministered to, 10 gave their lives to Christ, and 4 of those have since become active members of the church.
- We conducted one baptism during this period and 14 new members have joined the church.
- We had one Ignite program (a spiritual mentorship program for primary school students) which impacted at least 250 students from Mathare North, Madoya and Mabatini with the Word of God.
- A total of 92 students completed the new believers’ class and are now faithfully attending different congregations as committed members.
- We continued with our leaders’ training, holding at least six sessions. So far, 16 active ministry leaders and 15 volunteers have been equipped with foundational church leadership skills.
### Prayer Requests
- Pray with the Mathare North fraternity for a successful year 2026. For good health, economic empowerment for parents, and the smooth running of school programs.
- Pray for the provision of resources to ensure all scheduled projects are completed on time.
- Pray for a smooth transition for students at all levels, including those joining senior school in 2026.
