September 2025 Prayer Letter

Dear Prayer Partners,

Isaiah 58 v 6–12 con­tains a strong message about the kind of fasting that pleases the Lord. It is not about sack cloth and ashes but all about doing away with injus­tice, oppres­sion, hunger, home­less­ness, mali­cious talk and the like. Isaiah writes “If we spend our­selves on behalf of (the needy) then our light will rise in the darkness——our Lord will guide us always and we will be like a well watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.”

The scrip­ture gives an image of God’s people being like a beau­ti­ful garden, vibrant with life watered by a spring that never fails. lt is an image of the grace of God flowing through his people giving life to a parched human­ity. It is a beau­ti­ful image. Thank you to all who give of them­selves to bring God’s healing love to those in need, and espe­cially to chil­dren and their fam­i­lies living in poverty. God’s love flowing through you is bring­ing them a new, vibrant life filled with hope for the future. You are a spring whose waters never fail, pouring out over a parched humanity.

Thank you from Kim and Carmel of the Uganda support group and Ohfi.

Bun­y­inza well

We give thanks to God that the village of Bun­y­inza now has the funds to com­plete the well that will benefit the daily need of vil­lagers as well as their goat farm estab­lished to bless the school­ing and health of their children.

Until now, the women in the com­mu­nity have had to walk 4 kilo­me­tres each way to collect water.

The tank/pump has been secured and all the fit­tings pur­chased. The final step is to wait for the con­crete for the pump stand to be fully dry before filling up the 10,000 litre tank so that the water system can start running.

We pray that the project pro­gresses well. We espe­cially pray that the com­mu­nity of widows and older women will benefit from the plen­ti­ful and close supply of water.

HANNAH Romania – Report from Alice, founder of HANNAH

We are making an excit­ing step in advanc­ing train­ing in Romania, tar­get­ing the ‘leaders’ that have emerged from the pre­vi­ous years of train­ing. The ‘leaders’ are being coached monthly on Zoom, pro­vided with the resources so they in turn will be running their own local monthly coach­ing ses­sions with their peers in Romania.

This is such an excit­ing step towards sharing the knowl­edge gained from the train­ing and making it endur­ing and sus­tain­able for the future within their own communities.

It will take great courage from the leaders/coaches. At the moment they are feeling nervous!

Please pray for them, that they will recog­nise success, and together with the social workers attend­ing, they will all be better equipped and more con­fi­dent in their work. That the ripples from the train­ing will con­tinue out into the com­mu­nity, strength­en­ing vul­ner­a­ble adults and fam­i­lies, achiev­ing our vision that every child will know they are loved, valued, nur­tured and have a hope and a future.

Thank you for your prayers.

Report from Lun, Direc­tor of Kolkata, India

We give thanks that the visas for our trip to New Zealand in October have been granted.

In our Kolkata tuition projects we are good and running well. Apart from sick­ness the chil­dren are happy and learn­ing well in their classrooms.

Please pray for healing of the tuition chil­dren, the staff of the 6 Centres and our own chil­dren. There is much sick­ness. Some of the staff and chil­dren are sick and we need God’s healing.

Kindly pray for our micro enter­prise projects in Khous­abung in Manipur with 16 piglets and our sewing classes with 7 students.

Thank you.
