Keep On. Keep On. Keep On. Till God Tells Us to Stop, Keep On Every Child Ministries Annual Report 2013 1 Keep On. Keep On. Keep On. Till God Tells Us to Stop, Keep On. Every Child Ministries Annual Report to Partners 2013 Every Child Ministries PO Box 810 Hebron, IN 46341 Email: [email protected] Phone: 219-996-4201 www.ecmafrica.org Every Child Ministries Annual Report 2013 2 ECM’s Vision: Vision: Believing that children are Africa’s greatest resource, a precious treasure from God, we envision an Africa where children are valued, and respected, living lives of hope. We work toward the vision of the African countries where we work becoming increasingly lands where children are valued, and respected, where they live lives of hope. Our vision is to build the lives of children in all possible ways, and to work against anything that detracts from the lives of children. Our vision is centered on African children and youth. However, children are connected to families, communities, schools, and faith communities. We can sometimes fulfill our vision best by helping and strengthening these groups. Our organizational vision is that ECM becomes increasingly capable of and increasingly involved in offering hope, help, love and dignity through Jesus Christ to African children and that we become increasingly known and sought out for those purposes. This vision is centered on our present areas of ministry for the present & near future, with intent in the future to withdraw from areas that are not effectively contributing to these goals, and expand gradually to other areas where we can meet these goals—not haphazardly, by prayerfully as God leads us, prepares us and opens doors. ECM’s Mission: To offer hope, love and dignity to African children and youth in the name of Jesus, with special emphasis on those who are outcast or marginalized for any reason—the forgotten children of Africa. Some of these “forgotten children” groups are street children, orphans and abandoned children, trafficked and slave children, children displaced through war, prostituted children, children in prison, and children with albinism. We offer hope, help, love and dignity through proclaiming the Gospel and showing God’s love in practical ways, and by working to remove children to safety from dangerous & debilitating situations, and working to change the thinking, practices and systems that marginalize some children. We serve all children in need without discrimination of any kind. Goals: The ultimate goals of the organization are to demonstrate the value of every child as created in the image of God, to show the love of Jesus Christ for every child in tangible, practical ways, and to provide every African child with an opportunity to make a life-changing decision for Jesus Christ by accepting Him as Savior and following Him as Lord. This opportunity is offered without coercion or pressure, and all help programs are open to all without reference to religious affiliation or ethnic heritage or any other discriminating factor. Every Child Ministries maintains two basic kinds of program services—Education, Evangelism & Training Ministry, and Relief & Rehabilitation. While these are distinguished from one another on the organization’s functional allocation sheets to meet standard labeling procedures for Every Child Ministries Annual Report 2013 3 charitable organizations, it must be remembered that they are very tightly intertwined and mutually supportive. All the organization’s relief and rehabilitation programs contain large elements of education and training. Likewise, the organization’s education, evangelism and training programs also have elements of relief and rehabilitation. In reality, the organization aims at a comprehensive and holistic approach to the needs of Africa’s children. To achieve its goal of uplifting these children, ECM trains teachers and leaders for children and youth and seeks to encourage, empower, and provide resources for African churches to evangelize and disciple the new generation of their continent for Jesus Christ. In 2013, Every Child Ministries celebrated its 28th anniversary of service to African children. ECM now has offices and established works in DR Congo (28 years), Ghana (14 years), and Uganda (7 years), and from these three bases its ministries have also reached out to Congo Brazzaville, Angola, Central African Republic, Benin, Togo, Nigeria, and South Sudan. In 2013, ECM pressed forward toward its goal in the face of three huge challenges: 1) Funding challenges mid-year, 2) Staff changes & challenges, and 3) Ghana’s “Care Reform Initiative” which directly affects Haven of Hope (more about this on page 7). Educational, Evangelism & Training programs: Haven of Hope Academy, Ghana (HHA) HHA is a school designed to meet the needs of those who have been educationally deprived because of homelessness or other debilitating situations. HHA caters first to the children living at Haven of Hope, but in addition to those children, other needy children from the surrounding area attended this year as well for a total enrollment of 240. The school opened in January of 2005 and completed its first full year of classes in July of 2006. The school has gradually added classes, so that classes are offered through 9th grade. (High school in Ghana begins with 10th grade.) In Ghana, students completing Junior High School must successfully complete a qualifying exam called the BECE in order to be able to go on to high school. This year, five students sat for the BECE from Haven of Hope Academy and all qualified to go on to high school. One other former student attended a nearby local Senior High School this year and is doing well under the direction of HHA. Haven of Hope Academy employs 12 full-time teachers, plus an education director. An American volunteer also helped out as a teacher during the year. Every Child Ministries Annual Report 2013 4 The school has two permanent buildings and utilizes parts of other buildings at Haven of Hope. One of those is a two-story building in process of construction. Much work was completed on that structure during the year, the top story was finished, and computer technology and educational projectors were added to the classrooms, through the faithfulness of our partners and our new partnership with Girls for Africa. At the beginning of the 2013-2014 school year, the top story was ready for use. However, installation of toilets and a septic system remain to be done. Electricity was installed in the Activity Center so that it could be used for study and other activities during evening hours. During the 2012-2013 school year, children who gave evidence of learning difficulties were tested and a special educational needs class was begun under the leadership of Sally Wayner, a Master educator. A computer lab was developed and regular hands-on computer classes begun. Every Child Ministries Annual Report 2013 5 During the month of July, Cheryl Bockstahler, an experienced master teacher of early elementary students, brought her “Science in a Suitcase” to Haven of Hope Academy, sharing the wonders of science and hands-on science equipment and supplies with our students. This was made possible through a creative teacher grant from the Eli Lilly Foundation. During the summer, a team from an organization called Girls for Africa also helped by constructing the framework of a greenhouse, giving welding classes to some of the boys, installing eaves troughs at the home, cleaning the teeth of the children and the staff, and training teachers to use the new technology they installed in the classrooms. Every Child Ministries Annual Report 2013 6 Every Child Ministries Annual Report 2013 7 During the year, the popular cadet program continued at the school. This Ghanaian organization is somewhere between American Boy Scouts and ROTC. Many of the children participated and some attended Cadet Camp. This year, two key changes were made in direction at the school. One, because Ghana’s Care Reform Initiative is making it difficult for children’s homes, it was decided to gradually phase out the home aspect of Haven of Hope (beginning next year), and to open a boarding section at Haven of Hope, where the organization hopes to be able to provide the same kind of opportunities to children in crisis situations as we formerly provided through the home. Second, in an effort to help better prepare resident children for life in Ghana, the organization decided to move toward more Ghanaian influence and leadership at the home. In this light, a Ghanaian was hired as Assistant Director and a male resident teacher was also hired. “Character Building from the Bible” Program for Schools, Ghana “Character Building from the Bible” was a 45 minute special program helping students develop good character traits that was taught monthly in 129 schools in Ghana. This monthly program reached approximately 51,600 elementary and junior high students. During the year, the International Director conducted a one-day training for school associates in each of the regions where the program was operative. The program was directed by four Ghanaian missionaries in various regions and is assisted by 19 part- time Ghanaian associates. This program continued through the school year but due to financial constraints was cut back drastically at the beginning of the Fall 2013 school year. “Afayo” Village Education Project in Uganda An ECM missionary family, the Luckeys, head up a program in Jinja District helping local Christian schools improve their teaching from a Christian world view. This includes teacher training workshops, training in and plans for provision of scholarships for orphans. This year, 30 desks were built for St. Paul’s school, a pit latrine dug, chalkboards provided and the school painted to benefit 220 students who attend the school. Women of the community were trained in the making of faux papier beads and 60 local farmers were trained in “Farming God’s Way”.
