Prayer Chain
Dear God, thank you so much for what you have given us. Thank you for taking care of us every single day, you give us food, you send your people around the world to bless us so we say thank Lord, thank you also for the big big blessing, you’re the promise keeper yes you are, thanks dear God for the money for the land you fund for us. This is a surprise GOD thanks for answering our prayer, thank for the first step which is land.
Lord, we lift up this situation and ask for your help with the gala, be with Kelly and all the team, give them favor and grace, touch all partners and sponsor’s hearts and give the money we need for constructions, we too we need your presence so we must be wise. Please continue to bless Lea and Mignon in school, also Amina Chandi with his soccer.
We also need your favor and grace. Give us an opportunity to grow and make more money with our business, our animals and food plantation. We will make in our land for the good of your daughters. Dear God be our guide in all and for all AMEN.
Spiritual Self Defense
my story: Creation part 2
In Psalms 139:13-18, it is a really interesting word, is so cool to know who we are, where are we coming from and how we are seen by God. This Word is a blessing for us, we understand that it is GOD himself who made us by his own hand. We are the special creation, he has given each of us a different quality coming from himself. We had a wonderful moment with girls sharing and discussing about our physical image, how we see ourselves before and now as we are reading this word.
Nothing has been forgotten, nothing has been neglected on us, we are as GOD wants us to be, we are beautiful girls.
When we started talking about our physical aspects, there was some girls that were abused sexually before coming into GWP and some think that they are not loved by God, and that their body is unimportant. They are asking questions and we have answered and found other answers in the holy scripture that is interesting for us.
Physical Self Defense
We are learning the tactic of standing up and combat base move before moving to other movements. We need to know it the best we can for our good and our protection
This is helpful now and it will be helpful in the future in our region as we don’t know when we can be in danger so it is better to know this thing now and know it well so we can defend ourselves and others, those who don’t know all this movement.
It will be beneficial in the future for us also when we will go to some village around us to talk about GWP.
Intellectual Self Defense
Lea (pictured left) will finish her university soon. We praise the Lord for that and Mignone also continues with her study!
Testimonies
I’m a little boy and I know and I think you think why I’m on this team. Many people ask me the some question, why are you always with those girls. My answer is, I’m supposed to protect them. They are my sister and my mum, women deserve to be protected by men and not to be [abused] by them.
Through my sister I came into this group and I was happy to see her doing her exercise of self-defense at home even though I didn’t know what she was doing. When I asked her a question about it was, is it for my protection she said, and I said to her take courage and go forward but in me there was a feeling that I’m supposed to do something to protect our sister. I’m so proud of what they are passing through every single day as it is a challenge for them to live.
And is because of that I decide to come in to GWP. I know is for girls but I need to learn with them so I can know also how to defend people if one day I see one girl in danger and try to teach other boys to be caring for girls and protect them, I believe that girls and women are gift of God for us.
This is how I can help.

Economical Self Defense
For Watoto talents, I have 4 children in the training program.
Ibiza dahlia events: we are preparing for a big Christmas event in December!
I continue to learn every single day though my mistakes, some training, experiences. The biggest thing I’ve learned this month is to be organized so it is helpful to have everything in order and planned.
I’ve been able to save for GWP 20$ this month and I buy food for my family for 30$.
Outreach
Christine and Philadelphine lost their house in November 2020 by fire and lost everything they had. They were a poor family, but through GWP training and support they started a business selling airtime and Congolese fabrics, which helped them find food, and rent a little house for the next 8 months in Congo.
With GWP, we have become a blessing to our community.
This month we were able to say bye by giving 200$ for food and little things they needed to Christine and Philadelphine as the moved to Tanzania. It was a surprise for them, a wonderful moment. Their parents pray for GWP Congo and bless all the team around the world, and share the testimony of that in all their families. They decided to join GWP in Tanzania where they will be there and share about the gospel.
