Houses of Hope Store Opens in Texas

Houses of Hope Shop opened its doors in Belton, Texas on September 2, 2006. The shop’s purpose is to raise money for the orphanages around the world by selling items from these various countries. At this time, the shop holds items from, Africa, and Asia. The profits from the sales will go back to the orphanage from where the products originate. Volunteers and local business people provide the support for the store. Items may be shipped for delivery all over the U.S. We will be posting some pictures of the items for sale from Africa. Watch for more details.

Note: Houses of Hope is the sister organization of People for Missions which is the fundraising and support arm for the orphanages and child sponsorship..

Update...More Awana Clubs Starting!

God loves little children! On this trip the Noblins are assisting Rukungiri Community Church in Rukungiri to start an AWANA club for 90 children. The club is expected to be a huge blessing to the community which is 2 hours from Kabale in Western Uganda. On the last trip an AWANA club was started for 110 children and it continues to grow. Pastor Elisha and his wife Rebecca know the importance of discipling the children and have been praying for the opportunity and support to start the club.

At the same time God has been at work in Kisumu, Kenya where another AWANA club will begin shortly. Just in the last week funds were received to begin a club there. The details are being worked out for training the volunteers with AWANA International Kenyan missionary Rev. Charles Ndertu.

As the clubs begin, changes are taking place in the communities that not only impact the children but whole families and churches! Stay tuned for more pictures of the kickoffs!

Making a Difference In Two Lives

Being able to attend college in Uganda is huge! Many of you are helping to send Ben Kisiki and his sister Doreen Namutamba to Uganda Christian University. Ben began law school this semester and Doreen began a degree in project management. Both are doing well and excited to be moving toward having careers in the future.

God is doing many things as Ben is faithful. He has been designated as class representative of the law fellowship, gotten involved with prision ministry sharing the Gospel to inmates and has been asked to preach to the law fellowship. Doreen has had malaria but is doing better and enjoying her classes. Both of them need your prayers and support. If you are interested in finding out more about them please contact Margaret at margaret_noblin@msn.com.

It will be fun seeing both of them when we return in October to Uganda. There are always great stories to share and they are a real blessing.
