Q1 2025 Update

School Kits:
​This month, 251 school kits were delivered to children from various communities, providing them with the necessary tools for their education. This initiative alleviates the economic burden of many families in vulnerable situations and allows children to continue their education. This opens up opportunities for a better future, ensuring no child is left behind due to a lack of resources.

February:

Evangelism - Throughout February, the evangelical leaders came together in Bible study to focus on the book of Philippians. They are dedicated to training members for baptism and nurturing youth through structured Bible studies. To strengthen community connections, the church elders conduct united worship services in homes, creating intimate and welcoming environments for fellowship. Additionally, they actively participate in evangelism efforts in surrounding communities, sharing the word of God and spreading their message of faith beyond their immediate circle.
Education - Students shared reflections on the book of Philippians, fostering a dialogue space where students openly discuss their evangelical and educational experiences. Each student's volunteer work was evaluated, aiming to strengthen learning through interactive methodologies. The classes focused on practical reading and writing skills, allowing hands-on engagement. Additionally, Teacher Emiliano has been instrumental in connecting with students facing learning difficulties, offering them tailored support to help significantly improve their educational journey and positively impact their lives.
We are training young people to become agents of change in their communities and to improve their living conditions. We assess their learning needs and reinforce reading and writing, which are key tools for their development. With these actions, we seek to empower them and foster leadership that promotes collective well-being and sustainable growth in their communities. Many young people are devoting their time to providing educational support to children with reading and writing difficulties. Meanwhile, others are engaged in social work, supporting community elders and widows and providing community improvement services. These efforts reflect an active commitment to social welfare and local development.​
Practical Needs - This month, volunteer work hours were distributed as follows:

• 20 hours of social service - environmental care

• 160 hours in health care for vulnerable people

• 44 hours in infrastructure improvement

• 140 hours in supporting the elderly and helping with household chores

• 688 hours of educational reinforcement and literacy

Achieving a total of 1,102 hours this month.

January:

Evangelism - Community church leaders meet to strengthen their work in transforming souls, sharing, and deepening the word of God. In January, JOO leadership and church leaders evaluated the ministerial work carried out to identify areas for improvement in our activities and new guidelines for reporting their activities. We expressed the importance of praying for their ministries. We fostered an atmosphere of reflection and spiritual strengthening, where leaders cultivate God's Word and guide more people to accept Christ in their lives. As a result, leaders committed to holding united worship services, visiting the sick, and organizing evangelistic campaigns to expand the gospel to other communities. Through this activity, they seek to guide more people towards a life of faith, hope, and spiritual renewal that deeply impacts the communities. In turn, they will continue strengthening our mission of spreading the gospel and witnessing spiritual growth.

Education - High school students' training focuses on improving their personal and academic development through active participation in community services. In addition, biblical reflection in their training motivates them to practice the principles and values ​​of God's message in their daily lives. We conducted a training session for students on awareness, sensitivity, and social change, key topics included the purpose of service, project planning, and the importance of ethics, inspiration, and empowerment. The goal is to equip them with the tools to apply these concepts in their volunteer work. Finally, we provided guidelines on how their performance will be evaluated in 2025, considering grades, regulations, and the required service hours.

Practical Needs - Students from diverse communities are carrying out community service projects to improve their surroundings. Through their commitment, they are promoting positive changes in areas such as education, demonstrating that youth have the power to create a real and lasting impact on their society. Students have started the year by serving their communities through various activities aimed at creating a positive impact. These initiatives include:

• Educational support for children and youth.

• Providing companionship and household assistance to older people.

• Community improvement projects, such as cleaning schools and roads.

• Supporting the installation of community water systems.

• Medical assistance for vulnerable individuals.

In January, a total of 500 service hours were recorded. Once all additional contributions are collected, the data will be updated to reflect the full scope of the impact.
