Thanks to the generosity of sponsors like you, children across Peru are starting their school year with the supplies they need to succeed! Many families face financial hardships, making it difficult to afford even the most basic materials. But through your support, these children have received essential items such as binders, pens, pencils, crayons, and markers—tools that will help them learn, grow, and pursue a brighter future. We ask for your continued prayers as these children begin their new school year. Pray that they may excel in their studies, form meaningful friendships, and most importantly, be a testimony of God’s love to their classmates and teachers. May they have the courage to share their faith, live as examples of Christ’s love, and impact their schools with the Good News. Thank you for being a part of this mission. Your support is making a lasting difference in the lives of these children, their families, and their communities.

Our God called us to the city of Guayaquil in Ecuador 10 years ago. There were so many needy children. Lord opened up the doors for us to embrace and support small number of children with the love of God. And in recent years, we were excited to share how our God has enabled us to reach more children. But the enemy would always show up where our God is working. The drug cartel has invaded the region and we are witnessing horrendous crimes being committed to the peaceful citizens. People are dying from shootouts between gang groups. Many are forced to move out of their homes as gang group is taking over the properties. Recently one family who owned a small store was told by gangers to pay up $20,000. For poor Ecuadorian, that’s a incredibly a lot of money. When the family couldn’t pay the amount, they killed the father on the spot. Please lift Guayaquil and all the people, especially the innocent children, to our God for His protection and help!

Pastor Juan Carlos Samaniego’s story is a powerful testimony of God’s redemption and faithfulness. Born into a broken home, his early years could have been marked by hardship and instability. However, at just two years old, his life took a miraculous turn—his parents accepted Christ, setting the foundation for a home built on faith and God’s Word. Growing up, Pastor Juan Carlos was deeply influenced by his parents’ teachings, learning to love and trust in God. At the age of 14, he took a bold step in his faith, choosing to be baptized. From that moment on, his passion for seeing others experience the same hope and joy that Jesus offers only grew stronger. He eagerly served in church leadership and the youth ministry, dedicating himself to helping others encounter the love of Christ. At 26, God placed a higher calling on his heart—to step into full-time ministry. Now, in 2025, that same heart for service has moved him once again, this time to extend his love and support inspite of his own struggle and difficulties. Pastor Juan Carlos has decided to sponsor another child in Ecuador, continuing his mission of transforming lives. But what makes this moment even more special is that he is also the first Peru pastor to sponsor a child in Ecuador. Over the last few years, many more Peruvians have started to support children in Ecuador- a tremendous outpouring of God’s work in Peru. This act of generosity is more than just financial support—it is a testament to how God changes lives and calls His people to be a blessing to others. Pastor Juan Carlos’ journey from a broken home to becoming a leader and sponsor is a beautiful reflection of God’s ability to restore, heal, and use His people for His glory. May their story inspire us all to open our hearts, follow God’s calling, and be a source of hope for those in need. Just as God transformed their lives, He can use each of us to make a lasting impact in the lives of these children.

In a July 2025, 20 dedicated Bible students in India will complete their studies and embark on a mission to bring the Gospel to remote villages and tribal areas. These young men and women have spent years preparing, studying God’s Word, and developing the heart of a servant. Now, they are ready to be sent out, carrying the light of Christ to those who have never heard His name. Pastor Abraham prays for God’s provision, asking for essential tools to aid their ministry—bikes to reach distant villages, microphones and speakers to amplify the message, and drums to draw people together in worship. These simple yet powerful resources will help spread the Gospel to a nation in desperate need of hope and salvation. As these students step into their calling, they rely on faith and the support of the global church. Their mission is not just about words but about demonstrating the love and power of Jesus Christ in places where darkness still lingers. May we join in prayer and support, believing that God will provide every need and use these 20 students to transform lives and bring revival to India’s most remote regions.

Thanks to your generous support, the Hanhee Kim World Mission Center has made a significant impact in the poorest regions of India, Ecuador, and Peru, reaching over 800 children and pastors in 2024. Your contributions have provided essential resources such as education, food, and pastoral care. For some of you, the envelope includes new sponsorship cards to continue supporting children and pastors who are more in need. As God continues to use this ministry to bless many, we are seeking more sponsors to help us reach even more people. Specifically, there are children in Ecuador who need your care and pastors in India who require support to continue their work. We invite you to prayerfully consider how you can help expand God’s kingdom and support those in need. If you feel led to sponsor or learn more, please visit coj.org. Together, we can continue making a difference and sharing the love of Christ with those who need it most.

Pastor Daniel moved to the village of PK Gudem 5 years ago as he heard the voice of God during his prayer time. He preached the gospel with all of his heart and passion. And the village people started to give their lives to Jesus for the first time. But they were without house of worship. So they worshipped our God in the empty field. As our God heard their prayers, Lord moved the hearts of sponsors to give generously to build the house of worship for these new believers of PK Gudem and now the building project is almost finished. This church will become a beacon of hope and countless lives will be transformed and drawn closer to Christ. Thank you sponsors for your obedience to the voice of God.

Dear Beloved sponsors, We are so grateful for your generous support of the Children of Love Ministry. Because of your kindness, 2024 was a year of incredible impact. Through your contributions, we provided nearly 40,000 meals to over 750 children in the poorest regions of India, Ecuador, and Peru. In addition to nourishing these children, we distributed school supplies, hygiene products, and shared over 1,500 devotionals, bringing spiritual encouragement and the message of God’s love to these communities. Your generosity has touched countless lives and brought hope to children who desperately need it. As we look ahead to 2025, our vision is to further God’s Kingdom by reaching even more children in unreached areas of these countries. We aim to provide for their physical needs, but, more importantly, to share the love and message of Jesus Christ with those who have never heard it. With your continued financial support, we can extend this life-changing work, feeding hungry bodies, sharing the gospel, and transforming lives for His glory. Your partnership makes all the difference, and we are excited to see what God will accomplish through us together. Thank you for being an integral part of this mission and for standing with us in faith. We invite you to continue walking alongside us in this journey to bring hope and love to the most vulnerable. With deep gratitude, Pastor James Lee President of Hanhee Kim World Mission Center
