Dear Friend, Our team on the ground at the A.R.M. Center in Gambela, Ethiopia recently provided Food and Essentials Scholarships to approximately 100 orphans in Akoba County, South Sudan by the generous help from Northside Church of the Nazarene in Ft. Worth, Texas. These orphans sadly lost their parents during the ongoing war and have been displaced in need of food security and basic essentials. On behalf of African Relief Ministries, I would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all our donors and most recently, Northside Naz's Pastor Lynn who has a committed partnership with us making the recent Food Scholarships in S. Sudan possible! A huge THANK YOU! Your compassion and commitment has brought hope, comfort and relief to vulnerable children who continue to suffer in the midst of this terrible crisis. " We, therefore humbly appeal to our faithful donors, partners, and friends to continue standing beside us as we work together to save lives and restore hope to those affected by conflict and displacement in S. Sudan. Also, we kindly ask you to pray for our U.S. missions team that will be headed up by Pastor Ted Taylor and his leadership pastoral team from Hereford Church of the Nazarene , traveling at the end of July as we're asking for your prayers along the way for safety, donations, and that the mighty work of God to open doors while working with the regions' pastors, youth, and orphaned children at the new A.R.M. school building. They're excited to visit and bring encouragement to these people. We simply cannot thank you enough for your faithful generosity, and prayers that continue to make a meaningful impact for our organization! Sincerely, Rev. Michael Gatkek
