2023 has been a year of challenge, blessing and opportunity. The year started off rough with our CEO experiencing some exceptional health issues. Praise the Lord they are all resolved and Pastor Gary has bounced back stronger than ever.
Even with that we sponsored our biggest East Africa Senior Pastors and Wives conference in May and all the couples were so blessed by a dental clinic and the teaching by David Guzik, David Grisanti, Steve Bailey and Kathy Bailey teaching the women.
In February we took a team for a one day trip to Tijuana, Mexico to minister to the couples at Calvary Chapel Tijuana.
In June we took a team of 15 to Uganda to minister amongst the poorest of the poor. we had three doctors with us so we were able to do two medical clinics and saw over 1,000 patients.
The highlight of our trip was a baptism at Calvary Naluko with over 100 people and when one of our own team members, Careese got baptized!
All year long our Mexico Chaplains ministry have been working with the more than 1,200 kids referred to us by the Tijuana Police Department.
In October we took a team of 8 to serve along side our Anchored staff in Nepal.
We ministered in the leper colony and in the mountains with a church leadership and youth conference along with a four day medical clinic
In November we took another one day trip to Tijuana to minister to 135 youth that are part of our chaplains ministry. We had 25 people on our team and everyone worked so hard. We fed them, played games with them and more importantly shared the Gospel. Over 135 kids accepted the Lord!
In addition to this is the ministry to our kids in the Anchor of Hope house.
Christmas was busy with our different ministries throughout the world ministering to their people.
We praise God for the hundreds of people we have seen come to Christ in 2023! You all played such a big part by praying for us, giving to the ministry and going on a trip with us.
In 2024 we are opening our feeding center in Naluko which will greatly increase our monthly budget. Our goal is to raise an extra $100,000 for this vital work and prayerfully open another feeding center through the Anchor of Hope Project.
In Nepal we are sponsoring pastors, starting a school of ministry and helping children at the leper colony. Our Mexico Chaplains ministry continues to grow and expand as we disciple more at risk youth.
