For 14 years, Kingdom Partners has taken a stand
and led the way in a biblical response to the needs

inspiring measures to reach the hurting, the broken,
and the lost.

In 2013, Kingdom Partners reached 93,237 people
with the power of help and hope. Today, your
compassion is being manifested in the lives of
Indian orphans, now with families of their own. It’s
in the hallways of African medical clinics where
families are rejoicing after receiving a good report.
It’s flowing through the crystal-clear water of a
pipeline in Guatemala. It’s leaving a legacy that will
last forever.
World Help celebrates the lives impacted by your
love and compassion. Thank you for investing in
something that will outlive you and last for eternity.
Help for today . . . Hope for tomorrow,

Vernon Brewer

Sponsorship
Sandra Perry
with sponsored
children in
Honduras,
February 2013.

I

n 2013, you gave to care for hundreds of
children in India, Mexico, Guatemala,
Nepal, Honduras, Kenya, Uganda, and
Haiti. Overall, you have empowered
thousands of children to pursue their
full potential—potential that is so
often annihilated by the hardships
of extreme poverty. Daniela is from
Honduras, and a vibrant example of
your love in action.

Take a moment to consider the
difference you have made by
investing in children like Daniela.
By bringing them into safe and
nurturing environments, filling their
bellies, providing them with medical
attention, educating them, and
modeling the love of God . . . you have
rewritten their futures—one by one—
into stories of hope. Thank you.

2013 Impact Report | 4

When Daniela was just 6 years
old, her father was murdered and
his body brutalized. The tragedy
traumatized Daniela, leaving scars
too deep for her to understand.
As she tried to comprehend the
magnitude of such evil, she became
paralyzed by extreme loneliness.
But sponsorship poured healing into
Daniela’s broken world. “At ‘Jesus,
Friend of the Children,’ my teachers
and classmates were always by my
side, giving me encouragement, love,
and strength in my anguish. I have
gradually overcome this pain. I feel
this place is my second home.”
Daniela is now 9 years old and
excelling in her third-grade year.

F

or years, your legacy in India has
been lived out every day in the lives
of thriving individuals across the
country, particularly at the Gilgal and
Maru Asha Children’s Homes. And
this year is no different.
In the summer months, many of the
children at the Gilgal Children’s Home
would contract typhoid fever, chicken
pox, and other contagious illnesses.
Without a medical facility, quarantine
was nearly impossible, and the
Gilgal staff struggled to contain the
spread of these sicknesses. But
today, through Kingdom Partners’
investment in the new Gilgal Medical
Clinic, they are now able to provide
prevention treatments and help save
lives. The completion of this project
is an answer to nearly a decade of
prayers from the Gilgal staff!

At the Maru Asha Children’s Home
and School, now impacting over 230
children, your gifts have brought
incredible development. The new
school expansion will make way for
300 new students from the Jaipur
area—an opportunity that will affect
generations to come.
And most recently, you have given
to reach some of the world’s most
desperate—families impacted by
leprosy. By providing the safety of
new homes and giving to help care
for perhaps some of the world’s
most neglected communities, you
are helping restore dignity while
communicating the renewal of
Christ’s boundless love.

L

ast year, Kingdom Partners joined
World Help in launching a Christian
rehabilitation facility that is now
flooding light into one of Peru’s
darkest secrets . . . the pervasiveness
and consequences of sexual abuse.
Through every step of this process,
you have been by our side sharing
vision, enthusiasm, and prayer.
This year, we had the privilege of
seeing your investment come to
fruition at the ceremony of Grace
Home’s first graduate, Andrea. Her
story is just a taste of what is in store
for thousands more Peruvian women
battling the grip of self-harm and abuse.


“I was sexually abused when I was
a little girl and I grew up in a very
unstable family. I wanted to die
ever since I can remember. I came
to Grace House giving [God] a last
chance, and He took it. I have seen
God work firsthand in my life and
in the lives of all the girls that are in
this place. He has rewritten my life.”
- Andrea

Kingdom Partners is also partnering
to provide physical and spiritual
freedom by mobilizing disabled
Peruvians with wheelchairs and
their own copies of God’s Word. On
behalf of those who are experiencing
independence they never thought
possible . . . thank you.

Syria
Jody and Mona
Thomason at
World Help’s
Board of
Directors dinner,

W

hen the world turned from the
complexities of Syria’s civil war, too
paralyzed and exhausted to respond,
you stepped in with overflowing
compassion.

October 2013.

Since the beginning of our Syrian
relief campaign, your involvement
has saved lives and provided care for
Syrian refugees demonstrating the
love of Christ. You gave to provide
food, clean water, blankets, clothing,
hygiene items, medicine, and more
to children and families who have
literally lost everything. And this
Christmas, you aided greatly in
the printing and distribution of
250,000 illustrated children’s Bible
storybooks throughout dozens of
refugee communities.


“We are sure [God] is using our
efforts to bring peace into the
hearts of many. We are happy to
work with you on bringing more
help to these families who are at
a point where they have almost
nothing left to hope for.”

—National partner

Over the last year, you refused to look
away, but gave in faith, trusting God to
use your gifts to mend lives.

Guatemala
The Rand
Family serves in
Guatemala,
August 2012.

F

rom the flow of clean water
throughout Guatemala’s poorest
communities, to the bustling
schoolhouses packed with
sponsored children, to the healthy
cries of babies rescued from
malnutrition . . . your work in
Guatemala is alive and flourishing.
We are also proud to report that three
floors of St. Luke’s Hospital in Zacapa
are operating. Currently, these units
are functioning as the nutritional
and rehabilitation centers for the
Operation Baby Rescue program. In
fact, the facility is strategically serving
in the midst of one of Guatemala’s
largest malnutrition crises to date. We
praise God for the timing and success
of this incredible outreach—a blessing
that would not exist without your
efforts.


In 2013, you partnered to build new
homes for families formerly living
in abject conditions. Today, they are
safe from predators, poor weather,
and the cold. You also gave the gifts
of chickens and goats to families
struggling to feed their children. Now
they have a sustainable source of
both nutrition and income.
The results of your investments
in Guatemala are felt across the
nation. Thank you for helping build
foundations of long-term health for
a country breaking free from the
chains of poverty. You are laying the
groundwork for physical, social, and
spiritual infrastructures that will bring
holistic well-being to thousands.

I

n thousands of communities
around the world . . . in the lives of
millions fighting against sickness,
poverty, and hunger . . . health and
development must begin with
clean water. This principle has
been the mainstay for Kingdom
Partners’ clean-water initiatives
over the years. And because of your
efforts to alleviate the World Water
Crisis, people around the world are
experiencing health and prosperity
never thought possible.
Since the beginning of your
partnership with World Help, you have
saved and transformed thousands
of lives by providing clean water.
From fundraising, to providing wells,
implementing innovative water
projects, and dedicating these projects
in person—no part in the process has
returned empty-handed.


And in 2013, you inspired us once
again. You campaigned, strategized,
golfed, and ran! Now clean water can
flow into the lives of individuals who
need it the most.
Your gifts this year are reaching
destitute Amazonian villages in
Peru, the arid flatlands of Zimbabwe,
mountaintop communities in
Guatemala, Honduran slum sites,
and the low-caste people groups of
India. Thank you for giving them the
promise of a healthy tomorrow.

Spiritual Development

A

t the very core of Kingdom Partners’
work is the desire to stir the souls of
hopeless individuals with the love
of Christ. Your support of spiritual
development projects in dark and
desperate countries around the
globe has left an impact that will last
for eternity.
Over the last year, you have been
instrumental in our massive
evangelism initiative in China—the
distribution of USB drives formatted
with the Bible and other biblical
resources—which has the potential to
reach millions of university students.


You also funded the production
and distribution of Farsi Children’s
Bibles in Iran—a nation well known
for its hostility toward Christians—
where less than 2 percent of the
population confesses Christ. World
Help firmly believes these gifts will
pave the way for true knowledge and
understanding of God’s love in Iran.
Additionally, your dedication to
global church planting reaches
thousands of lives with the power of
the Gospel, year after year. In 2013,
you supported World Help’s
church-planting initiatives, which
saw the beginning of 8,200 churches
in China, India, Cuba, and Nepal this
year—impacting over 230,000 people
with the Gospel.

K

ingdom Partners has supported
Operation Baby Rescue throughout
rural Guatemala since the beginning
of this incredible initiative. Throughout
the last several years, you have
rescued more than 100 suffering
Guatemalan children. And now, your
impact is overflowing into Uganda
and Haiti.
Your gifts have greatly aided the
rescue center on the campus
of Destiny Village of Hope near
Kampala, Uganda. The center
continues to grow as a second baby
dorm was built this year, allowing
our staff to provide for twice as many
abandoned children rescued from
local slums.
This year also saw the official launch
of World Help’s Operation Baby
Rescue initiative in Haiti, where


malnutrition is considered the
leading cause of death in children.
Vena is just one of those rescued by
your compassion.
At 2 years of age, Vena came
to our rescue center in
Ouanaminthe, Haiti, weighing only
10 pounds. After several weeks
of intensive nutrition therapy, he
took his first steps toward health . . .
toward hope.
Without Kingdom Partners’
involvement with Operation Baby
Rescue, we would not experience the
current success of this outreach in
impoverished Haitian communities.
You’re not only rescuing lives and
restoring children to their full
potential; you’re helping write history
in Haiti, Uganda, and Guatemala.

Honduras
David and Sandra
Perry on a trip
to Honduras,
August 2013.

H

onduras is one of the poorest
countries in Central America, but
you have recognized the incredible
opportunities to share hope there.
Today, you are building toward a
healthier future for Honduras by
ensuring the best quality of care for
hundreds of its children.
Many of the children you support
are immersed in dangerous
environments, all too familiar with
gang violence and crime. Our partner
program is a much-needed positive
influence in their lives. In addition
to personal tutoring and spiritual
nurturing, the children also receive
two meals every day—the best source
of nutrition any of them have.


Kingdom Partners has also given
extensively to support feeding
programs and to supply life-saving
humanitarian aid in Honduras,
including medicines and medical
equipment. In 2012 and 2013, you
built several small homes for families
devastated by poverty that continue to
make an impact in their communities.

“I feel very happy and also very
grateful for the great help I
received,” said one mother named
Eybi, a school aide and mother of
three. After caring for six other
people in a cramped, ramshackle
two-bedroom hut, her new home
has restored a sense of dignity
and given her a reason to hope.

Gifts of hope

K

ingdom Partners knows very well the
necessity of sustainable investment
in impoverished communities. Your
work has never been about “charity”
but rather a philosophy of cultivation
and strengthening so that true hope
is achieved.

Your contributions to Gifts of
Hope in 2013 are now helping
struggling communities and
families grow closer to a healthier,
stronger, more holistic way of life.

In addition to investing in ecological
community projects all around the
world, you also gave livestock to some
of the earth’s most destitute people
this year. The gift of animals may
seem simple, but to their recipients,
they’re enough to transform lives and

futures. Just think, one goat or a pair
of chickens means an immediate
supply of nutrition for malnourished
children, plus an in-demand product
to sell in local markets. Your gifts
begin to make a difference overnight!
You also gave school supplies,
uniforms, books, sports equipment,
and more to children in Africa,
Nepal, India, Peru, Guatemala,
and Honduras. These children
aren’t simply growing as students;
they’re working toward breaking
the threshold of poverty that has
enslaved their families for centuries.
Your gifts cannot be downplayed.
Thank you for changing lives . . . for
bringing hope where little exists.

any years ago, Kingdom Partners
came alongside the ministry of
our long-time friend and partner
Pastor Kam. Today, this partnership
continues to overflow into the
lives of precious children and
communities in significant spiritual
and humanitarian need.

April 2013.

Your ongoing support of
development programs in Nepal is
contributing toward movements of
incredible scale. In 2013, you gave
to support five different children’s
homes and invested in the work
of dozens of committed church
planters. Pastor Kam recently shared
the story of one young woman
named Anita, who was introduced
to Christ though one of our churchplanting initiatives.


Anita received harsh backlash from
her family when they discovered
she had made a declaration of faith
in Christ. As strict Hindus, they
discouraged Anita from attending
her new church. Yet she remained
faithful to Christ and prayed
fervently for her family’s salvation.
After her father became gravely ill,
Anita asked local church leaders
to pray over him, and several days
later he was miraculously healed.
Moved by her commitment to
Christ, Anita’s family recognized
the power of her newfound faith.
Today, they are worshipers of the
one true God and attend church
every week with Anita.

Uganda

U

gandans are a resilient people who
have risen above national loss and
heartache—and you have helped
them soar.
From supporting “Good Samaritan”
Forgotten Children Centers, that
provide for those affected by
genocide, civil war, and displacement,
to funding the ongoing development
of children’s homes . . . you are making
sure that Uganda’s next generation
receives the resources it needs to
achieve full potential.
This year, 100 former sponsored
children launched their own church
plant just outside the slums of
Kampala. Your years of compassion
have left an impact beyond
imagination and we are thrilled to see
the fruit of your labor being lived out
in their lives.


Your most recent gifts in Uganda
have included the backing of brandnew medical clinics—life-saving
facilities in regions where even the
simplest sickness can turn deadly.
Combined with your support of the
new Operation Baby Rescue outreach,
these new healthcare amenities will
bring total restoration to thousands
while building stronger families.
Today, World Help is celebrating with
the Saints Gate Church in Katwe
over their nearly finished building—a
dream many thought impossible—
now a reality because of your giving.
Kingdom Partners’ involvement is
being manifested in a thriving church
congregation of more than 2,000
people! With your help in 2013, they
were able to begin the process of
installing an updated window system.

Myanmar

W

In response to Myanmar’s growing
drug trafficking crisis, the MYC’s drug
rehabilitation facility has been a
pivotal ministry for dozens of young
adults. Your support of the Young
Crusaders’ work is allowing them
to help reclaim lives from the dark
world of Myanmar’s ever-present
corruption and crime influences.

Over the past year, Myanmar has
experienced a time of political
and social development like never
before. Our partners have been
given incredible opportunities to
invest in the forward development of
thousands . . . and your work here is
playing an undeniable part.


orld Help is so grateful for Kingdom
Partners’ involvement in our
long-standing relationship with the
Myanmar Young Crusaders (MYC)
ministry and children’s home in
Yangon. Through sponsorship, you
are helping care for children affected
by extreme poverty, abandonment,
and trafficking.

Additionally, our partner’s churchplanting efforts in Myanmar are
opening doors for the light of the
Gospel to shine in so many broken
areas plagued by spiritual blindness.
Thank you for joining with World
Help and MYC to transform lives
in Myanmar.
