Dear Friends from Suncreek UMC,
It has been just over a year since your Zoe Empowers group began meeting, but for the children that first meeting seems a lifetime ago. No longer suffering from intense hunger, homelessness, and ostracization, the youth-led households are now participants in their community and are even on their way to becoming leaders.
Click here to see the first-year report with information regarding the activities and achievements of the youth during the past year. We also have a video report on one of the amazing families from your group. This report serves as an example of the progress all households in your group have already made because of your support and the guidance of Zoe Empowers. WATCH HERE
Thank you for continuing to support and pray for the children in this group as they work hard to improve their lives.
With warm regards,
Laura Nemecek

The members of the working groups are learning amazing skills, trades, or our working hard in school. The amount of pride they have in their accomplishments and the love they have for Suncreek for giving the support so they can succeed is beyond words. Each of them feels our support and love and want to make us proud of their accomplishments. It is amazing what three years through the ZOE ministry can do to change the lives of so many. The mission team was also able to meet our newly formed and brand new working group and see the hope in their eyes for their futures.
I have always dreamed of going to Africa and working with the orphans. It is something that has lingered in my mind for some time. This summer my dream came true. On June 23rd I boarded a plane with six others to London...READ MORE The Zoe Ministries Program in Maua, Kenya is incredibly amazing in so many ways: the empowerment of the orphans, the safety and care it provides for them, the team building demonstrated and taught (both in the working groups and their communities)...READ MORE I changed hotel rooms 3 times to get a toilet that flushed. I slept on a board (I think they called it a bed) with a pillow that felt like Styrofoam. I didn’t take a hot shower in 10 days. But even with all that, my trip to Kenya to visit Suncreek’s ZOE working group was the most incredible trip I’ve ever undertaken...READ MORE |
