MINISTRIES:

SOUTH AFRICA

Glory Power Centre (Orphans, Refugees, Destitute Ministry):
Glory Power Ministries helps orphans, refugees and destitute through our Glory Power Centre and outreaches in many villages. There is a crisis situation in South Africa where there are hundreds of thousands of orphans, and most of them are hungry and hopeless. There are more orphans percentage wise (mainly because of HIV/AIDS) in South Africa than in any country in the world. There is also a very desperate situation with hundreds of thousands of starving Zimbabwean refugees fleeing their country into South Africa seeking food and employment. As unemployment is very high in South Africa, most refugees cannot find work and are left without food or a place to live; many eat bugs to survive.

The Glory Power Centre is our church building/community centre which is being used for:
* Church services.
* Weekly soup kitchen which provides hot cooked meals of meat, vegetables and corn meal, along with fruit, for orphans in the area. Glory Power Ministries has provided 8,000 hot meals to orphans.
* Evangelistic outreaches along with food and clothing distribution to orphans and the most destitute. Since 2006, Glory Power has distributed food (to last for a month) to 51,500 desperate orphans and refugees and have given clothes, shoes, blankets, and basic necessities to 11,400 of these needy and hurting people.
* Job training (currently through teaching English classes - knowing the English language is needed in order to get one of the few jobs available). Glory Power has also helped orphans, widows and destitute start their own businesses, has provided free skills training and has given one-on-one training in accounting and business practices.
* Distribution of humanitarian aid for orphans and destitute in that region.
* Recreational activities - we currently have volleyball, soccer, rugby, badmitton, trampoline, ping pong, table fussball, hula hoops, scooters and board games. This is in a village where the children have no toys whatsoever.
* HIV/AIDS education.
* Library.

What Price A Soul? (Outreach/Preaching Ministry):
Glory Power Ministries is leading people to a saving knowledge of Jesus and helping them grow through the teaching of Biblical principles. Approximately 10,555 people have prayed to receive Jesus as Savior through outreaches, preaching, and one-on-one sharing. We also teach outreach seminars on evangelism to pastors and ministry leaders.

Get The Word Out (Distribution of Bibles):
We have distributed 4,185 Bibles to those who had none.

Brick By Brick (Ministry of Building):
We are thrilled to report that Glory Power Ministries has built and fully furnished its first hut for orphans. We named this new home for orphans the "House of Joy." Also, Glory Power has built three toilets (for some of the orphans, it is their first toilet they have ever had in their life). The Glory Power Centre, which will seat around 1,000, now has a floor, roof and foundational structure. The walls are next to be built!

The Mind Of Christ (Teaching/Seminars Ministry):
Through teaching in churches, we are leading people to overcome low self-esteem issues and to have the mind of Christ. We have received overwhelming responses on this teaching in different parts of the world, including here in the US, Africa, and Ukraine. We both have strong testimonies of victory over poor self-esteem and have developed powerful Biblical teaching regarding how God led us through this process. We have published a book and have also begun teaching seminars on how to renew your mind in Christ.

Seed, Time And Harvest (Ministry of Providing Seeds for Gardens for Orphans and Destitute):
Glory Power Ministries has brought seedlings and tools and worked with orphans and destitute in planting vegetable gardens in their yards.

UKRAINE

Prison Ministry:
Since our last journal, we had more opportunities to help the hurting during our remaining time in Ukraine. We continued to minister in the prison for young men (ages 14-18). We are prohibited to give the name or location of the prison. We ministered to 60 young prisoners, 21 of these being orphans who have no family to visit them or bring necessities. These orphans were in desperate need of winter shoes, as the winters in Ukraine are long with temperatures well below freezing. Glory Power Ministries was able to purchase new warm shoes for these 21 orphans. See the pictures below of the orphans with their shoes. Thank you dear supporters for helping provide for these precious young men.

Mind of Christ Ministry:
Our self-esteem program, “The Mind of Christ,” was translated into Ukrainian and is being taught in the prison by a ministry that Glory Power is partnering with. Young inmates are renewing their minds by speaking verses daily on how God loves and accepts them, and how important, adequate, secure, and blessed they are as Christians. We also preached on this subject in a large church in Ukraine and there was an overwhelming response particularly from older church members, asking for copies of these verses to speak every day. One woman told us that low self-esteem is an extremely common problem in Ukraine, even with Christians. Sadly, most Christians have low self-esteem. God wants us to love ourselves in a Godly way, so that we can love others the way that God wants us to. May we renew our minds to do so.

Street Children Ministry:
Glory Power is partnering with a ministry, Christ’s Help for Needy Children, in feeding street children in the city of Lviv. There are tens of thousands of street children in Ukraine, who have run away from abusive, alcoholic parents or from orphanages. Many of these precious children sniff glue to fend off hunger pains and the cold. We were able to help feed some of these children with Christ’s Help for Needy Children soup kitchen. Glory Power's vision is to help this ministry purchase a facility to offer lodging and spiritual and rehab help for these children.
