This lantern ornament craft highlights Jesus as the light of the world - showing us how to live. Demonstrated on the lantern panels are ways that CoLaborers loves like Jesus - drug/alcohol care, children’s ministry, & education in Zambia, Costa Rica & Kenya. Also learn how to say "Jesus is the light" in areas we serve- Yesu ni Nuru (Kiswahili: Kenya), Yesu ndiye kuwala (Nyanja: Zambia) and Jesús es la luz (Spanish: Costa Rica). Thank you for giving and helping us continue to be a light.

Chama North Member of Parliament, Honourable Yotam Mtayachalo, has appealed to the Disaster Management and Mitigation Unit to urgently provide relief food. Many are not covered under the Cash-for-Work Programme, leaving them without any source of income to buy food. Crop yields have dropped sharply. People are eating roots and wild fruit trying to survive. There just isn't enough. The hunger crisis is coming at a critical time when farmers are supposed to prepare their fields for the 2025/2026 farming season. Without food, people cannot be productive.

is joining another local organization, Youth Life Project, to pool resources to help this community. Our food outreach together is planned for December 12th. We would like to feed 150 families.

As I type this to you, I just finished reading in Mark about the feeding miracles - 5000 Jewish people in Mark 6 and 4000 Gentile people in Mark 8. How Jesus gave literal soul food alongside spiritual wisdom and both must go hand in hand. I was thinking about how the 12 baskets of leftovers for the Jews represented the 12 tribes of Israel and the 7 baskets of leftovers for the Gentiles represented completion, a reminder that their inclusion (and yours and mine) was always a part of God's plan. Both pointing to Jesus as the bread of life, a message they can remember each time they eat.
