OF HOPE AND DREAMS
This week hots was one of the busiest so far this year. As we were preparing to sit down at our station, we usually have brief prayers just to dedicate the ground, two ladies were already waiting for us so we started off on a busy foot. We welcomed Molly to the team as a replacement [...]

We’re looking for some faithful Turning Point supporters who would like to donate some of their time and passion to help us raise awareness of TP’s work. As our work in Kibera grows, we need our support base to grow with it, so we’re exploring new avenues down which to parade our work and invite [...]

If you walked past the creativity classroom on Wednesday afternoon you would’ve heard chants of a – e – I – o – u, ba – be – bi – bo – bu followed by much laughter as the microfinance literacy students realised how ridiculous they must sound to passersby.

Today we prayed for half the number of people we prayed for last monday, but one had some comic relief for us. We stood and prayed for a number of people with social needs, like parents who are struggling to pay school fees for their children, those who wish to expand their businesses and some [...]

Welcome to HotS 2012 and Happy New Year. We started this new season of HotS not knowing if we’d be busy or not, but quite a number of people stopped for for prayers and healing. Our pre-HotS preparation also suggested some names and ailments that God would bring to us, and two of those names [...]
