We have been saving up for the past 4 years to go away together on vacation out of the country and this year, the Lord blessed us with a dream come true trip to Turkey.  It’s one that none of us will ever forget!!!

Along with all the above ministries and things that have been done this past year, there are so many other ways your support has been able to help others through Raising Hope!

• 3 Micro loans for business, healthcare and home purchasing
• Teacher for the local children with cerebral palsy
• School and College education for 8 children

With your gifts this past year we have been able to do so much more than we ever imagined! So, we ask you all to consider Raising Hope in your end of the year giving.  Every gift goes towards serving and helping those in need and we will make sure that your blessing is carefully allocated and used according to His will and for His praise and glory.
