Happy Thanksgiving

I was out on the VOH school grounds the other day when the childen were getting ready for lunch. There is always alot of activity that time of day - children scurrying around with their silver plates, playful aughter and happy chatter in the distance.

As I watch the kids running around, as we go into Thanksgiving this weekend, I'm reminded how  thankful I am for this ministry that cares for the children, in such practical ways, like giving them porridge in the morning and lunch every afternoon, many of whom would otherwise go hungry.

Watch this short video of my reflections .. and if you watch the full 50 seconds, you'll enjoy a little Thanksgiving Day greeting from a few of my friends!

  . .. I continue to love the work to which He has called me to with VOH Africa and being here in Tanzania ... and I'm coming home in May/June to be able to share more about it with churches, donors and potential donors in person.   My work is continuing to grow and I continue to be honored to be part of the ministry of VOH. But sometimes it's hard to explain and the difference VOH is making in children's lives - especially when it's mainly through updates and emails.   So, I'm coming home from the middle of May for a few weeks to share in person, the great work of VOH, what God has been doing in my life, and to build a firm foundation (of both financial and prayer support) for the work ahead.   Here's a Sneak Peak of what I want to say:   1.    VOH is truly impacting the lives of children As I continue the mission with VOH, and hear stories of the children, I can say with 100% confidence that the min...

I can't believe it's 3 years ago this month that I moved to Tanzania! What an incredible journey. I'm so humbled that I found VOH Africa, and they found me.   The "honeymoon period" is long over, but I continue to be amazed by the work God is doing in the lives of thousands of children in need, through the work of VOHA. I trust my contribution is part of that.  I can't put into words all we are doing, so I thought, on this 3 year anniversary, I would do a video recap of the main ways we minister to the children and give a brief update of the past year. It's a little bit longer of a video, but I hope you will take the 4-5 minutes to watch it, pray for the children as you do. Thanks so much for you ongoing support, thoughts & prayers! Through them, you are part of it too! Enjoy!

  As you enter into Thanksgiving weekend (wish I was there!), I wanted to take a moment to let you know how much of a blessing you are to me and how grateful I am to have you in my life. Your thoughts, prayers, encouragement and support mean so much as I continue on this mission with VOH Africa to impact the lives of children here in Tanzania and in the other African countries in which we serve. You're a blessing not just to the children but to me personally as well. It really makes a difference knowing you care and lift me up in prayer. As you enjoy some turkey and pumpkin pie this weekend, please know someone on the other side of the world is thankful for you today!   Jeanette
