Welcome to World of Hope!
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His
great mercy He has given us new birth into a LIVING HOPE
through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into
an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade.”
1 Peter 1:3-4
For many in our world, life is a daily struggle. We have an obligation to share the
Hope that is ours. The victory won through the resurrection of Christ brings the
hope of restoration to our broken world. One day, all that is wrong will be made
right. In the meantime, we can share the LIVING HOPE we know.
Please partner with our EFCCM missionary family around the world as we all
work together to offer hope and make a difference in the communities we
serve. Thank you for participating in World of Hope in the past. We look forward
to God doing more in us and through us in this year's campaign, as we continue
to “serve in the birth and growth of healthy churches internationally”.
For the Glory of God and the Souls of People,
Dave Penner (EFCCM Director) on behalf of the IMLT
On the Cover
Photo by Graeme Rattray, serving in Thailand:
This is one of my favourite photographs because of who is in
it. I think this photo captures a beautifully humble, kind, and
soft man. He is a farmer and was working on a small sliver of
land that the Willems had allowed him to farm. He is a
Buddhist, and his face shows a long life of uncertainty,
spiritual oppression, and anxiety towards what fate has in store for him. Yet
when you look at him you see this glimmer of hope.

Children and Youth
Burn Camp (Mexico)
After working with the children from the 2009 daycare fire, they
want to host another Burn camp but this time as a weekend
camp at the beach. The camp will not only provide a fun,
relaxed environment where the children can learn about God,
but it will also provide a time for therapy and learning to deal
with their burns as each year they grow older, their worries and
concerns about body image can change.

Hoopster (Mexico)
Annelise Neufeld, daughter of Greg and Shelli Neufeld, plays
basketball and her involvement on the team has provided great
opportunities to witness to the girls and their parents. The Neufelds
would like to put on a Basketball camp, bringing Christian coaches
from Canada and Mexico, where 60 girls could fine-tune their
basketball skills and hear the good news of Jesus Christ.

proper shelving custom designed to needs, complete with storage
containers of all sizes, a labeller, and tables for organizing.

Deaf Camp (Hungary)
It is difficult to get people to commit to camp when prices
are skyrocketing in Hungary and wages do not keep up.
That impacts the deaf children of hearing parents. It's
easier to send them somewhere cheaper, or nowhere at
all. And when it comes to deaf adults, they must get time
off and use holiday time from a job that doesn't pay
much at all. With help from World of Hope, we have
been able to provide bursaries for everyone and also buy
much needed equipment and supplies to make camp
something special. This year we've also been able to help
the Czech contingent with travel costs to Hungary. Every
little bit helps! And we couldn't do this without you!

Talita Cumi Children’s Home (Bolivia)
Talita Cumi Children’s Home houses 30 orphaned, abused or abandoned children
and up to 10 staff at any one time. Partner this year with Talita Cumi and help these
children in a number of ways. By sponsoring a staff member to attend local
Christian counselling courses they will be better equipped to impact the children.
Many of the children there require specialized medication for a variety of health
needs and their 15 passenger van is in its last stages of life. It hauls nearly 30 kids
to and from school plus bulk shopping trips, field trips and more! Talita Cumi would
like to purchase a lightly used, ‘mini’ bus with seating for 20-30 to replace their
aging van and better accommodate their needs.

Snacks for Kids (El Salvador)
Kids love to snack on something. Snacks are served during
meetings at church in Tutultepeque about four times a week,
which equals roughly 90 snacks per week. For most kids, this
is a place where they not only come to learn about the Word
of God, but a place where they get to enjoy a snack they
would not normally have at home due to their circumstances.
Thank you for blessing the stomachs of many little ones in
the community of Tutultepeque.

Villa Nueva School Scholarships (Bolivia)
How would you feel if you wanted to attend school but your
parents couldn't afford to send you? The Christian school that
serves the needs of the many families who have left the
Mennonite colonies of Bolivia in search of spiritual truth is
recognized for its excellent education and for its contributions to
the spiritual wellness of the communities it serves.
Unfortunately there are families that are unable to afford to send
their children to the school. The cost of sending a child to Villa
Nueva School is an investment in the spiritual and financial
future of the entire family.

MK Re-entry Camp Scholarships (Canada)
When Missionaries Kids (MKs) return to Canada, they often do not
feel they are coming “home”. The natural struggles of teens relating to
identity, belonging, acceptance, values, and temptation are multiplied
as they attempt to enter college from a different cultural perspective.
One tool proven to greatly enhance their success is a network of
supporting relationships with other MKs who have recently walked
through this difficult transition themselves. MK Re-Entry Camps include
informative seminars, open question and answer times, and fun-filled
events where MKs are encouraged to connect in ways that will help them
carry on in their life of faith. While the cost of travelling to and participating in
these events varies, a scholarship of $250 can go a long way towards helping
make this valuable connection possible.

Send 150 Kids to Summer Camp (Cuba)
In partnership with the Eastern Cuban churches and an EFC
church in Mexico, these summer camps are committed to helping
the Youth & Children’s Ministry make summer camp a possibility.
The children each pay $2 dollars but that does not cover the cost
and so camp has been cancelled in the past. For a small amount of
money we can ensure that 150 kids get to Bible Camp to find out
about Jesus or continue their growing relationship with Him.

The Low German Radio program of Radio Trans Mundial (Trans World Radio) has a

have very limited access to hearing the Gospel. Through this ministry they are able to
listen to a variety of programs in their own Language. You can help make this process
easier and more efficient by helping TWR set up a recording studio in the Pailon
facilities. It would open the doors to recording locals more conveniently in their area.

Fundraising and Activity Day (Bolivia)
At Radio Trans Mundial Bolivia, they have seen first-hand the importance of hosting
special events for their listeners. Events such as Children’s day, Mother’s day, etc.
bring the listeners to the studio and give them an opportunity to connect personally
with and show their appreciation to listeners. This year at Radio Trans Mundial Bolivia
they want to get locals involved in funding the radio ministry. This is a new concept for
Bolivians, but they believe with the proper structure and tools, it is possible. The Low
German radio program team has great ideas for fundraising events lined up this year,
but funds are needed to coordinate and make these events happen. Consider
sponsoring a fundraising event and see what you’ve given multiply.

a shop and office space. A property has been purchased that allows us to host these
valuable people and provides a safe, effective work space for Agua Yaku rent free.
Once this building is paid for, the net income from guests staying there will go totally
toward the operating costs of Agua Yaku.

Leadership and Training
Tailoring Course (Creative Access)
War has set this country back 20 years. There are many widows, the divorce rate
is high, and due to unemployment, over 1 million men have left the country to seek
work. Many female heads of households are left to provide for and raise the
children. We offer a 3 month tailoring course for widows, divorced, separated and
poor women. With caring trainers, we have seen self-esteem raised, jobs found,
and small sewing businesses started up. Every three months we accept 20
students for this course.

The Teacher Project (El Salvador)
The Teacher Project has become an essential part of the community and it serves as
a prevention for school dropouts and as a tutoring program for those who are
already in school but are struggling. The teacher has classes planned all day, but
kids are free to use the facilities as a drop-in centre for homework, tutoring, etc. This
has been a great help for kids who have not been able to learn well in traditional
school settings and have fallen behind.

Education Scholarships for Young Ladies (Latin America)
The girls in the family in Latin America get forgotten, the money runs out.

to dream about finishing High School or excelling in University simply

and daily lunch costs. Your gift will change the lives of these girls!
