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
Thank you all for your thoughts and
prayers in the recent passing of my dad, Max Cornelius.
Greg and Kara Cornelius
Thank
you for all the prayers as I went through surgery and as I recover and rest
now. Thank you for the many cards, flowers, phone calls, and food I received! I
am so very thankful the Lord has taken good care of me, and I am so thankful
for my loving Central church family! Pati
Dobbs

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 about HHI, visit: www.hhi.org
