Trusting God!
Several members of Foundation of Hope are preparing to go to Rwanda in August. There is so much to do! We are planning to gather the orphans that we support so we can get updated pictures and information to share with our supporters. This is a tough task since we are so far away and we have to coordinate about 60 kids! Sometimes, it is overwhelming to think about the finances and the coordination of transportation needed to get the kids to one location from all around Kigali. I feel like there is only so much we can do from here in Rochester. BUT, God has always been faithful and he will provide the resources we need to bless these children this summer. Please pray for the children, for financial provision, and for those travelling to Rwanda. Pray that the work that needs to be accomplished gets done! Pray for safe travel.

Foundation of Hope
I am excited to start the Foundation of Hope - Rochester, NY blog! I think this will be a nice way to update our friends about the events and activities going on with our organization.
We were very busy last weekend, travelling to Twinsburg, OH to share a concert with Christ Community Church. We had such a wonderful time and are very thankful to Pastor Glen and all the church members who provided a place to sleep and wonderful meals. We celebrated together during the worship service and felt God's presence there.
Several members of FOH are travelling to Rwanda this summer. They are hopeful so meet with the children we support to get updated pictures and more information to share with those who are sponsoring the kids and to allow us to increase our organization. We are wanting to collect various sizes of youth t-shirts, any color, to bless the kids with some new clothes.
Earlier this month, our keyboard, which contained ALL of our music, was discovered to be missing. We don't know if it was stolen, or just very, very misplaced...either way, it was gone. But, we didn't panic. We prayed. God provided! He sent us Charles, a recent refugee from Africa, who arrived about one month ago in Buffalo. Charles plays the piano and was able to reproduce much of the music needed for our concert in Ohio. He also taught the choir a new song! God is good!
I want to invite anyone who feels led to share either their experiences with Foundation of Hope, or their responses to anything they hear or see during our concerts to post on this blog. We appreciate any comments, questions, or ideas that can help us improve our ministry.
