“For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD...”

Tanzania: From the Tumaini Jipya (New Hope) Girls Secondary (Boarding) School: "We thank God for the completion of the newest building, which will serve as a computer lab and tailoring classroom. Having opened the first class in January 2023, the school will, by January 2026, include all four secondary levels (U.S. grades 9–12). Recently, 63 girls took entrance exams for Form One (9th grade), with 17 qualifying. Another exam on December 10 aims to fill the remaining spots, reaching the goal of 25–30 students per class. Form Two students are preparing for national exams November 3–11. Please pray for excellent results and continued growth—spiritually, academically, and practically."

New Hope’s core values: Christ-centeredness, integrity, professionalism, academic excellence, and sustainability. Over 90% of school costs are currently met by donors like you, with the faith-filled goal of becoming largely self-sustaining—a goal in which students play their part as they also gain life skills by caring for fruit and palm trees, chickens and gardens, and soon raising cows for milk and meat, providing income, nutrition, and valuable experience. Thank you for partnering with them to bless generations for time and eternity!

Senegal: We praise God for the Senegalese team in the north that is faithfully overseeing and creatively expanding, also on social media, the reach of the Wolof ("Yoonu Njub") OT/NT gospel series, The WAY of RIGHTEOUSNESS, first broadcast on Senegal's national radio station on November 2, 1992. Glory to God for what He has done through His written and living Word in countless lives over these past 33 years. Thank you for praying for an even deeper impact in this 95% Muslim nation, "that the word of the Lord may speed ahead and be honored, as happened among you" (2 Thessalonians 3:1). 

In our northern village, the ROCK-connected Senegalese family continues to serve through the basketball center, soccer, special activities, and relational outreach with youth and adults. Our brother writes: “Last Saturday, the few Christian families here (from other African nations) met for our monthly gathering and made plans to celebrate Christmas together and host a Christ-centered event—inviting friends to hear the good news story and trusting the Lord to touch the hearts of those who truly seek Him.”

Speaking of Christmas... throughout this season, each of us will have countless opportunities to celebrate AND to share God’s greatest gift: that “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us” to become "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!" (John 1:14, 29; 19:30). One powerful way to communicate His story from Creation to Christ to New Creation is by sharing FOR THIS REASON (FTR), the 100-minute abridged edition of the 222-minute KING of GLORY (KoG) movie. Following its thought-provoking opening, FOR THIS REASON transports audiences to the dawn of creation, unveiling the Creator’s plan that led to the Eternal Word's birth in Bethlehem, revealing how one can pass from being “in Adam” to being “in Christ.” Perfect for families, churches, or community events, FOR THIS REASON is a film for all seasons—but especially fitting for the Christmas season.

ROCK International's QR-coded FOR THIS REASON Business Cards equip you to offer to people you meet daily the opportunity to discover and understand for themselves what this "good news of great joy that will be for all the people" is all about. FTR's traditional Christmas Cards also provide a unique way to share the full story with family and friends.

In Jesus' name, we thank you for your prayers and partnership in what God is doing through the channels of ROCKids and ROCK Resources.

Until the earth is filled with His glory!
