Greetings from Mathare North Center. We want to share some highlights of the things God has helped us achieve. Thank you for your support and partnership as we work together to transform lives through Christ. Vincent Malombe Mulwa Head Teacher, Mathare North   ![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 participated in the Kenya Music Festivals and advanced to the regional level. We are proud of the students’ performance in a competitive event. - Our netball team won two matches in local ball game competitions and narrowly lost the final by one point. - Junior school students visited Kenya’s Parliament to learn about the lawmaking process. ![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 - Thirteen students were baptized after giving their lives to Christ at [Angaza Discovery Camp](https://mohiafrica.org/what-we-do/angaza-discovery-camp/). - More than 310 people gathered for our Synergy Sunday service, bringing the community, staff, and students together for worship and fellowship. - Students participated in [Ignite](https://mohiafrica.org/what-we-do/ignite/), MOHI’s spiritual mentorship program, where 25 participants gave their lives to Christ. - Thirty children attended a Sunday school retreat for teaching and mentorship. ![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 Community Christian Church in Tamarac, Florida, led Vacation Bible School for more than 1,000 students. Through crafts, music, games, and Bible stories, students learned about knowing Christ. - A team from Chino Valley Community Church in Chino Hills, California, visited our school and spent time with the children they sponsor.   ![icon-stars](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-stars.svg) ### A Story of Hope Rhoda wanted a more stable future for her children. She cared for them at home while her husband worked as a casual laborer, but their unreliable income made it difficult to cover rent and other daily needs. During a home visit, Rhoda shared her hopes for her children with MOHI staff. They discussed starting a small business and joining a savings group. Rhoda began saving and later took a small loan to start selling fish. Income from the business helped her clear overdue rent and provide for her family’s basic needs more consistently. She is grateful that her children are attending school regularly, and she hopes to expand her business before the end of the year. Rhoda is gaining confidence as she works toward these goals. We thank God for her progress and for the support that has helped her build greater financial stability. A different name has been used to honor privacy.   ![icon-hands](https://blog.mohiafrica.org/hubfs/icon-hands.svg) ### Prayer Requests - Thank God for His faithfulness and for the health and well-being of staff, students, and their families. - Pray for sponsors for unsponsored children and for partner churches preparing child sponsorship events. - Pray for financial stability for families who struggle to meet their daily needs.   ![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). Your words can remind them that someone is praying for them, cheering them on, and grateful to be part of their journey.   **We'd Appreciate Your Feedback** Let us know what you thought of this community update by [taking our 4-question survey.](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSehVIy8z2dAKHsLqUENg759C6H9zQqzaTVtIy0n5sYmgiOPgA/viewform?usp=sf_link) It only takes about a minute.
