ENCOURAGEMENT FROM THE GUIZETTI’S
We have been blessed to receive a heart-felt letter from Don and Janet. Here is an excerpt:
“Because of you, families hear the word of God during formula and food distribution and women in the sewing program read the Bible and sing songs of praise to the Lord. Your support puts printed Bibles and audio New Testaments in multiple languages into eager hands. This is the infinitely most necessary and eternal hope any of us can share. We could not do this without you.”

These heart-gripping photos put the Guizetti’s work in perspective of what is truly important – loving and caring for those in need. Let’s keep focused, Hope, on our Savior and His beautiful love for all this Christmas Season! If you would like to support Hope so that our partner missionaries, like Don and Janet can continue in their heart’s work, please read below and thank you!
