Christ's Hope UK Newsletter - May 2022

Introducing…

John Bromley, the newly appointed UK Director for Christ’s Hope International.

John was born to missionary parents in Papua New Guinea and has recently moved to the UK from Australia with his family. He is a father of seven children ranging in ages between 9 and 27. Amongst other organisations, John has served for many years with Mission Aviation Fellowship (MAF) and brings with him experience in working in Christian charities and non-government organisations. John has a heart of compassion for vulnerable children which led him and his wife to start a charity in Papua New Guinea doing similar things to what Christ’s Hope does in Africa.

John is excited to take on this challenge and is looking forward to working with the Board of Trustees to grow and develop Christ’s Hope in the UK so that it can play a greater part in the support of children impacted by HIV/AIDS and living in extreme poverty.

The Director visits Africa

The Director visited Uganda and Kenya as part of his orientation to Christ’s Hope and its work. He was extremely impressed at what he saw.

The staff were of a high calibre and it was obvious the passion they have for the children. Their dedication and commitment to their work was very evident. Their faith in God showed through in their daily conduct and the way they related to the children.

They made learning fun and encouraged the children to grow in their knowledge and understanding of God. This was evident in the testimonies that the children shared. The Director heard many stories of the impact that Christ’s Hope is having in the lives of the Children and their families.

The ministry centres were well maintained, and the children were well cared for.

Change Coming

Christ’s Hope International has work in Namibia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Eswatini and South Africa.

Traditionally, Christ’s Hope UK has partnered mainly with Namibia to support their work and sponsor the children on their program. This has been a rewarding partnership and seen a lot of changes in the way in which care has been delivered to the children. There is more change to come as the Namibia management considers the most effective use of its resources to impact the neediest children.

The UK is also broadening its partnership to include Uganda where there is a vision for expansion of its work into a very needy area in Kampala, the capital city. The catalyst for the UK partnership with Uganda came through a large donation, of which we are very grateful and praise God for it.
