Our congratulations to Tonino

are the proud parents of a boy. Theodore
“Teddy” Gene was born
Monday night, January 23rd, weighing 4
pounds 13 ounces. His grandparents, Peter
and Melia Romine, and
uncles and aunts are excited about his arrival.
THANK YOU
I want to thank everyone for the prayers and sweet
note cards during the period of my father’s death. God promises us in His Word
that He will never leave us or forsake us. That He is always with us in our
time of need. I know His presence was with me and my family during this time,
but it was icing on the cake to know that our Christian brothers and sisters
were also praying for us and sharing in our heartache. We have been so blessed
through the years to have been able to have such a loving, caring family at
Central. We
miss and love you,
Robbie Griffin
SYMPATHY

ABOUT US
Women of
Hope is a ministry of Healing Hands that seeks to strengthen women
around the world through education, business training, and microfinance. Our work
is accomplished by our international staff in countries like Kenya, Uganda, Malawi,
Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Ghana, and Haiti. Our Women of Hope coordinators
host trainings, and support and encourage the women they work with.
We are always overwhelmed by the ripple impact
of workshops and businesses. Time and time again, we see that when these women
are empowered and earning an income, they send their children to school, share
their new knowledge with others, and serve their communities. We truly believe that when women are empowered to dream,
communities thrive.
Women of Hope is a
program of Healing Hands International. Our mission is to aid, equip,
and empower those in need around the world in the name of Jesus Christ so they
might experience God’s healing grace through programs like clean water, agriculture
workshops, women entrepreneurship, disaster relief, and more. To learn more
