BLANKETS & AUDIO BIBLES IN ASIA
In Asia, there is a highly marginalized, isolated, and poverty-stricken group of people called the "Chepangs." Most young people do not attend school, and this community does not interact much with other communities. Many girls are married by 14 and are pregnant with their first child before the age of 18. 

We are blessed to have ministry workers in Asia who have hearts for this people group and have labored to bring the hope of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to this community. Although most of the Chepangs live in repeating cycles of poverty and hardship, the Good News is starting to break the chains and open eyes. Even in these remote areas, you can hear the hymns of God's praise.
Currently, this community is fighting a harsh winter. We praise God that blankets were provided for these families through your support in the name of Jesus. These blankets were given to believers and nonbelievers alike to show God's love for all and have an open door for the Gospel. 

Another huge blessing is that God has opened the door for our ministry leaders to start school of ministry classes in this area. Because most Chepangs are illiterate, Promise Child sent Proclaimers (audio Bibles) to this community in their heart language. Now this people group has access to the Word of God and faithful teachers to help them learn to divide the Word of God rightly. 
In this picture above Pastor Jay is showing some women how to use a small Proclaimer to hear the Word of God in their heart language.
THE MIRACLE OF MEDICINE IN SOUTH SUDAN
Our partnership with Ends of the Earth Ministries allows us to support a Christ-centered medical clinic in South Sudan. Our clinic services approximately 100 people per day for free. About 30 people see a doctor or nurse, and the remaining receive medicine from our pharmacy. Thankfully the United Nations often supplies us with extra medications and vaccinations that we do not have the resources to acquire. 

This clinic serves the most remote and unreached tribes, where they would have no hope of health care otherwise. Many in these tribes have confessed faith in Christ through this outreach. The teenagers and parents from our South Sudan children’s home visit the clinic every Monday for a time of evangelism and Bible teaching. Pastor Bilton is our clinic's Pastor/Chaplain and provides spiritual care and encouragement for the community.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES IN SOUTH ASIA
We are praising God that many of our Promise Children in South Asia have been able to return to school! Because of your generous support, we were able to gift them some new school supplies and food supplies for their families. Unfortunately, this country in South Asia is on the brink of another government lockdown scheduled to start on April 30th. Please stand in prayer with us against COVID-19 and the closing down of schools in South Asia.
SO MUCH MORE THAN MONEY
By now, you probably know the impact that child sponsorship has on the givers and the receivers, but many still don't know! Please take a minute to pray about who you might forward this YouTube video to and explain a bit about sponsoring through Promise Child. There are still hundreds of sponsors needed through our program, and you could be the one to help someone else find joy in bringing hope to a child in need. 
MORE CHILDREN TO LOVE
Angel's father is a full-time pastor of a church and a teacher at Calvary Chapel Bible College in Asia. The church is small and cannot support him or his family. Angel's grandfather worked outside and helped with the family's expenses, but he passed away from COVID19 and is now with the Lord. With her grandfather gone, her parents are struggling to send Angel to school. She is a very talented little girl who loves to sing and is doing well in her studies. Your support will be a blessing because it will allow Angel to stay in school and provide much-needed food for the family.
