Prayers
Praise the LORD, my soul; all my inmost being, praise His holy name. Praise the LORD, my soul, and forget not all His benefits — who forgives all your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion Psalms 103: 1- 4. Oh my heart, bless the Lord for He is indeed good! THANK YOU Lord for your love and care, for the family and the friends you have blessed us with! For the beautiful house and the comfortable beds under our heads and for the constant food on the table that has nourished our bodies. Thank you Lord for being God, our Father! Happy Thanksgiving!
Spiritual Self Defense
Blessed be the Lord who have stood by us all this time and continues to nurture us to grow spiritually. Our curriculum has been such a blessing and to sum of our students we advanced to part five which talks about man’s fall, and it encouraged us to stand firm in the faith and raise up when we fall. Some students asked why would God create Satan in the first place, and if God loves us why did He allow us the fall of Adam and Eve. We are learning about God’s faithfulness and His use of power.
Our other students just finished their national exams and are home early; with them we have started the curriculum one to three. It is amazing how God is helping each soul differently to rediscover its origin, God the Father.
Neema’s dad, the house grandfather (Babu) took the girls to church and the pool last month. The girls had so much fun we are going to make it a monthly event!
This month we have been so blessed to share the gospel and encourage more than 200 people. We were able to show Jesus film in which 231 watched until 3am and it just showed how much people are hungry for the word. Blessed be the name of the Lord who sees and plan ahead!
It happened during such a needy time such as this of severe droughts, women had to walk distances at night to fetch water in which they had to fight with elephants to get and men does the very same for their dying flocks. And even then with all these trying moments, God is so faithful to encourage and bless them.
We praise Jesus we were able to meet 30 women from another village with a message of women’s right and hoping for more to join next time.
We pray for the so needed rain for these who truly needs it, and God’s own protection on His people. We pray for safety and healing for our sisters and brothers around the world. We pray for Haiti, Congo and Ukrain and the peace of the entire world.
Physical Self Defense
Course 1-4
Recently we have come to understand the benefits of overcoming fear and though not completely, we are so thankful we are given chances to learn and re-learn within our own phase through constant practices. We are blessed to being able to practice the previous courses and get to improve the moves. This month we focused our energy on getting ready for terminal examinations an d so we could not learn anything new.
Intellectual Self Defense
To have had our girls complete the schools year is such a miracle in itself. School plays such an important part on the rescue especially of girls and so we are so thankful God has paved way for them to be in school. Form twos and fours are done with their National Exams, including Ephrasia. The other classes are about to start their terminal examinations and are so excited to start their Christmas holiday soon.
We pray for good performances for all of them.
Praise Jesus one of our girls Ngashumbai graduated from diploma in Veteran! What a blessing the Lord has given us even to this very date, all the Glory to Him. (GWP Leader Sandy paid for her school fees by selling her first and last goat and taking tutoring positions.)

Economic Self Defense
With all the reasons to bless the Lord for His never ending love and provisions, we are more amazed of the daily grace He blesses us with. Our piglets are doing well and so are the motorbikes. Four of our goats have given birth to little goats and they all keep growing. We truly are thankful for all of the Lords blessings.
Safe House
Our very first GWP safe house sits on 2 acres presently. We own the land and safe house outright!
Livestock
Our Tanzania safe house has goats, cows, chickens and pigs that provide meat, eggs and milk for the girls!
Crops
Our Tanzania safe house has a large field where they grow beans and corn, as well as banana trees, a huge mango tree and lots of fruits and vegetables in the garden next to the house. This takes a huge burden off of the costs of their monthly food budget!
Moto Taxis
Now Neema’s team has 3 moto taxis!
The passive income received by two of the moto taxis pays for ALL of her girls to go to school for the entire year, including uniforms, books and supplies!! Praise God!
The 3rd moto taxi pays for ALL of her girls to have health insurance for the entire year!
Blessed be the Lord our provider, our projects are doing well. Pigs, motorcycles and cattle are doing well. We are hoping to be blessed with a calf next January! And our pigs will have new piglets too, how exciting it will be.
We certainly are so thankful that our girls have been able to be in school a whole year, having all school supplies and uniform. We have so much to be thankful for economically this season, we want to thank our sisters and brothers who are working day and night to support all our ministries and all that the Lord is doing worldwide.
