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.

Even though India was liberated from England in 1947, it boasts 5,000 years of history. And during those 5 thousand years, India has kept Hinduism as their national religion. In 2024, the Hindu population was well over 80%. Prime minister Modi publicly announced that he will do his best to make India 100% Hindu nation. On top of that India now has surpassed China to claim most populated nation in the world with close to 1.5 billion people. Can you imagine the heart of our God knowing that many people perishing in India? He so much so desire to save even one more person from India. And that’s why He even called such a small mission organization like us. The church building construction that has began last year is going very well. This is truly dream come true for them. And because there were faithful sponsors who said yes to the call of our heavenly Father, His kingdom is expanding in this lost nation of India. Please continue to join us in prayers and giving to witness God’s kingdom establishing all over India. To God be the glory.

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

In the heart of India’s eastern coast lies Visakhapatnam, a mid-sized harbor city. A two-hour drive south takes you to the small town of Chintaluru—a place that, in the eyes of the gospel, is as significant as any city. Here lives Pastor Samuel Abraham, a second-generation pastor with a powerful legacy. His father, born into a Hindu family, experienced a life-changing encounter with Jesus, dedicating his life to sharing the gospel with tribal villages. Though he had neither car nor bicycle, he walked tirelessly from village to village, taking along his young son, Samuel, and saying, “We must go to 100 villages and build a church in each one.” Tragically, Pastor Samuel’s father was called to be with the Lord when Samuel was only 14. Samuel kept his father’s dream alive and continued his studies in seminary to carry on his mission. Two years ago, Pastor Samuel faced a serious health crisis himself—a heart attack that nearly took his life. This challenge limited his ability to reach villages on his old motorcycle. God, however, had a plan, stirring the hearts of generous sponsors to provide Pastor Samuel with a four-wheel-drive vehicle, empowering him to reach even more villages safely. “Am I dreaming?” he exclaimed with gratitude. “Thank you, Lord, and thank you to the sponsors for this unimaginable blessing! Now I must work even harder for His kingdom.” Imagine Pastor Samuel now, driving into new villages, his heart set on establishing 100 churches to fulfill his father’s vision. We invite you to pray with us for Pastor Samuel’s continued health and strength so that, through him, the people of India may experience the saving grace of Jesus.
