Your Daily Psalm April 9: 'Your Creativity' Are you among those who are fearful or hesitant to express your creative insights and ideas? purposequest.com/article/your-d…

I NEED YOUR HELP: Dear Friend, I met Miriam 13 years ago when she was 12 years old at a children’s home in Nairobi. She was bright, joyful, and already showing leadership as the head girl. Today, she is university trained, working in a hospital, and preparing to enter a three-year nursing program. She even traveled with our team during my recent trip and was a blessing to us and to the children we visited. Stories like Miriam’s are possible because of you. Your support helped make her journey possible—and now I am seeing doors open around the world to help more young people like her. Let me share a few of those opportunities with you. In Pakistan, our team is translating my Never Too Young for Purpose Handbook so they can conduct youth seminars. Each translation and printing costs about $1,500, and we have the opportunity to hire an interpreter for $275 per month. When we raise $3,000, I will make the trip to support the work personally. In Uganda, we are launching Hope and Purpose Ministries with two outstanding leaders. Plans include a testimony book, a café to support the work, and even a television program that could reach across Africa and the Middle East. On April 23, I leave for Colombia to conduct ten days of youth and leadership training. Doors are open in both Christian and secular schools, but I must cover my own travel and housing. This is a unique opportunity to reach young people at a critical time. And in Kenya, our core work continues to grow. The Stanko Academy now serves 60 orphans, and during my recent visit, we provided beds for girls who had been sleeping on the floor. The Youth Center and Library are thriving, and we are seeing powerful responses among students. We also hired a young woman as a youth chaplain for just $50 per month and committed to helping another orphanage for $150 per month. It truly does not take much to make a meaningful difference. That’s why I am asking for your help today. Would you consider making a gift this month—or becoming a monthly partner? Whether it is $25, $250, or more, your support helps us reach more young people and create more stories like Miriam’s.

I trust God will show you what my words cannot fully express. Thank you for standing with me. Yours in Him, John P.S. We are working to pay off the Stanko Academy property this year. So far, $10,700 of the $50,000 has been paid. If you are able to make a special gift toward the property—above your regular support—it will help secure this work for generations to come.
