Dear friends and partners:

Thank you always for your generous giving and heartfelt prayers for One Hope Outreach Ministry as we continue to preach the good news of the gospel around the world. As we closed out the year 2025, rejoicing was in order for all that the Lord Jesus Christ did through the various outreaches of this ministry.

We are anticipating great things for 2026.

Simon Peter, missionary in Eldoret, Kenya reports for 2025:

Praise the Lord, I trust this message finds you well by the grace of God. On behalf of the ministry, I would like to share our heartfelt thanksgiving as we conclude our evangelism and follow-up activities for this year. From January to today, we joyfully testify that 3,245 souls have confessed Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. To God be all the glory for this great harvest.

We sincerely appreciate One Hope Outreach Ministry for your unwavering spiritual prayers, encouragement, and support, which have played a vital role in making this mission a success. Your partnership has enabled us to reach communities, strengthen new believers, and nurture them in their walk with Christ. Truly, this work would not have been possible without your commitment and generosity. We also thank God that we were able to distribute 189 copies of Bibles, which have already brought significant transformation among many of those who confessed Christ. However, due to the high demand, we were unable to provide Bibles to all, as the total number of those who confessed Christ reached 3,245. This remains a growing need as we continue to disciple new believers.

As we reflect on what the Lord has done, our hearts are full of thanksgiving, and we look forward with faith and expectation to continue this partnership in the coming year, trusting God for even greater impact and fruitfulness. We kindly express our desire to continue and strengthen our partnership with One Hope Outreach Ministry next year, as together we labor for the transformation of lives through the Gospel, discipleship, and compassionate outreach. Please note that we shall resume evangelism and follow-up activities on 5th January 2026, trusting God for renewed strength, wisdom, and grace as we continue His work. We wish you and your entire team a Merry Christmas filled with joy, peace, and the love of Christ, and a Happy New Year overflowing with God’s blessings and favor.

In Christ, Brother partner Simon Peter

Thank you partners for supporting this outreach in the year 2025.

Dear friends and partners:

Greetings to all our friends and partners of One Hope Outreach Ministry. As we celebrate what God has done throughout the past year and as we enter into this Christmas season, we are very thankful for your continued prayers and support as we share the love of Jesus around the world.

As we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, may we remember the true reason why we celebrate. The birth of Jesus, His life on earth, His atoning work on the cross, resurrection from the dead and ascension into heaven are all supernatural acts of God. The advent of a virgin giving birth to the Messiah and His atoning work on the cross was all foretold by the prophets of the Old Testament. And never, throughout history of mankind has a more beautiful story been told.

The four gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke and John present Jesus Christ as God become flesh; Deity and humanity united in one flesh. And to those who know Jesus as redeemer from all sins have no question about His Divinity. But there are multitudes who disallow the virgin birth and claim that He was only human. However, one need only to look at the aforementioned miraculous birth, scan through the recorded pages of His sinless life, look at His sacrificial death on the cross and ascension to the Father to realize He was more than just a man, indeed He was God made flesh as He dwelt among men.

Without the babe in a manger in Bethlehem of Judea, the miracle worker of Galilee and the crucified, resurrected Christ of Calvary the Christian claim of a new life in Him would not be possible, rather it would just be a religious experiment. But to those who do believe the gospels it is more than a religious experiment, it is an experience of His life changing power. And because of His life changing power, we find ourselves bowing before the Christ that was born in a manger so many years ago and adoring Him as our God and Savior.

What about you, what is your interpretation of the Christ child born in a manger? Do you believe the gospels?

Dear friends and partners:

It is a great honor to write each month and let you know how much One Hope Outreach Ministry appreciates your prayers and generous giving. As the ministry reaches into the darkness of this world to help those in need. your prayers and financial support are a joining of your hearts and hands with us to carry the gospel to the world. Proverbs 19:17 says, “Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.”

The sewing school as well as the children’s school is up and running and is progressing quite well. The children are learning their educational basics and are eager to learn even more new things. They are also learning to sing elementary songs about Jesus.

At present, the one-day, monthly, medical physician just completed his second, one day visit to help those in need of the basic care. We are so grateful for his contribution and willingness to provide his professional help to those of less fortunate circumstances.

The community clean water well project has been completed and the people of the brick kiln area are now able to have clean water to drink and to use for cleaning and cooking purposes.

There have been two hundred reported to have received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

The need is great but God is always greater than the need. Thank you again, partners for your generous help in reaching out with the love and compassion of Jesus.

-Marvin Smith
