Words of Appreciation

Schowalter Foundation Grant Supports Camp KIND – Anabaptist Disabilities Network

Thank you so very much for your support that is bringing joy to so many faces and hearts, and that is making room for more families to leave homelessness behind! You are truly the hands, feet, and heart of Jesus, bringing joy in this time of growing need.                                                            -Bridge of Hope

 

Thank God for the literacy project in the DRC: the teachers, the women who are learning to read, and the way this allows them to participate more fully in their churches. Thank God for new financing that will allow the literacy centers to build new blackboards and produce new learners’ manuals to replace worn out material. Pray that women leaders will continue to improve their reading and ministry skills through the project.

We are profoundly grateful for the Schowalter Foundation’s ongoing investment in our mission. Your support helps us create a stable and dignified environment for families facing homelessness, allowing them to move forward with hope.

I am a mother of six children, and I used to work as
a maid. I earned $7.50 per month. Today I sell
cassava flour and corn, which brings me a profit of
more than $50 per month.

Thank you for the Schowalter Foundation funds.  I contacted a student who said she couldn’t afford to come to Hesston.  I offered her funds from Schowalter Foundation and it made it possible!                                                                                                                                                                                             -John Murray, Hesston College International Student Advisor

I am responsible for a family of nine people. (Because of the financial training and support from AIMM), my butchering business is doing very well, and I have money to contribute to my church’s offerings.

                                                                                                                                             -Kinzundu

I am thankful for Schowalter Foundation’s willingness to provide encouragement to the church by providing funds for (church planting for Anuak speaking refugees living in the United States).

Simply a huge thank you for believing in this cause and organization.  It’s amazing to see what God has done thus far because we said yes. Words cannot express our gratitude to your team, thank you!

“Alisha, who was living in a shelter 6 months ago and today is in her own home with her children, recently said, “I wish Bridge of Hope supporters knew how much it matters for me and my kids to have a safe place to go home to at the end of each day.’  Thank you for making room for Alisha and her children – and the Christ child!”

The ISMG members and a great group of international students are ever so grateful for the Schowalter assistance which enriches and blesses not only the individual recipients but Goshen College and the wider community. Thank you!                                                                                                                                                                                                             -Kent Beck

When you are trying to survive, it’s so encouraging to know someone cares enough to offer a helping hand. THANK YOU!                                                                                                                                                                     -Edee, New Hope Shelter

We sincerely appreciate the Schowalter Foundation being willing to take a risk on us. Prior to that we were facing the huge wall of no one wanting to be the first to help support us. Even individuals have been more willing to give monthly donations since they have heard of the Schowalter Foundation’s funding. Thank you very much.

                                                                                                                             -Karen Horsman, Mennonite Mission Network

Thank you for your financial assistance (to purchase new water well drilling equipment in Kenya)

We believe your support is part of our work to “build up the body of Christ” through the Iglesia Menonita Hispana. May God bless you for being part of this faithful work.
