Dear Supporters:
Throughout the year, Team Kiatera has been taking 10% of our finances off the top of our monthly disbursement to give to needs in ministries we meet along the way. Our amazing financier Lisa Smith compiled this blog to show YOU where YOUR money went around the world (let alone sending us there in the first place). If want to read more about the stories, click her links to her past blogs, all wonderfully written; if you want to see more about the stories, click the links to my corresponding videos. If you have more questions, shoot me an email. And know that your money went a LONG way…all around the world!
 
 
Central America

    In Mexico you helped with repairs at Shekinah, a free pastor training school for Central American pastors.

    In Nicaragua you provided for the baptisms of 11 youth  (VIDEO : Nica Amigos) whose lives are being changed by the love of God.    
    In Nicaragua you also started a work-to-school program for young boys
that have dropped out of school. Many teenage boys in Candelaria drop
out of school and then feel as though they have no other option but to
join the local gangs. This program gives these boys safe jobs on the
New Song Ministry property, provides mentoring from Christian men, and
New Song finds sponsors for the boys to return to school.

South East Asia
    In Vietnam you bought roses that showed Christ’s love to prostitutes working in Ho Chi Minh City. 
    In Cambodia you provided supplies for a 2-week VBS program for AIDS orphans (VIDEO: at the House of Rainbow Bridge, there is love) in Phnom Penh. This VBS program brought laughter, fun, and Jesus into the lives of these children.
    In Thailand
you helped in the expansion of a training program for women wishing to
leave the bars. Currently the Tamar Center helps girls to leave the
bars and then be trained as either a baker or a hair stylist. They are
in the process of purchasing a new building and expanding this training
program to include more options.
    In Thailand you also hosted a pancake breakfast for young girls living at the Eden House
in northern Thailand. This is a restoration home for girls that have
either been rescued from or are at risk for human trafficking.

Africa
    In Mozambique you donated Bibles to the churches of Matchovane.
(VIDEO: Kiatera on God’s Story in Matchovane) These are believers who love God passionately, but because of lack of
access to the Word of God, they have very little Biblical knowledge.
Your gift is brining truth that these churches desperately need and
desire.
    In Swaziland  you provided medical care for a young baby with TB and for his mother, Dudu, who is dying of AIDS/TB.
    In Swaziland
you also trained teachers from eight carepoints.  These go-gos (VIDEO: Beauty from Ashes: Women of Swaziland) are
providing the only education that many of these children will receive.
This training taught the teachers new educational techniques,
discipline and management, and how to recognize and report abuse.
    In Swaziland you also provided court fees to advocate for the rights of abused children
(link to Kiwi blog). Orphans are often seen as a burden to those left
to care for them (VIDEO: I’ve Seen HIS Love Come Down). Many of these children are abused. Currently the
government does not have advocates for these children. Abuse cases are
not tried in court unless a 3rd party goes to court on behalf of the
abused children. Your money is helping to provide court fees for two
such children.
    In Malawi you brought the gospel message to remote villages in the country’s southern region. (VIDEO: Zomba!)

Europe
    In England you bought the Jesus Film in 24 languages to be given to London’s ethnic minorities.   (VIDEO: London Calling)
    In Romania you provided supplies for VBS,
women’s Bible study, and English classes for the gypsy people of Viile
Tecii.  God moved through each of these venues to speak truth to the
gypsies that they are loved and greatly valued by their God. (VIDEO: Gypsy Agape)
    In Romania you also contributed towards an Easter feast for five gypsy villages.
    In Moldova you painted houses and cleaned yards for the elderly. You also provided food for poor families in southern Moldova. 

    Your generosity has made a huge difference in my life and it has
also impacted the lives of hundreds of others throughout the nations.
