School Building Construction Update

Dumas Baptist Church Fundraiser for A.R.M. Center School Building Construction

We're excited to announce the teaching staff at the A.R.M. Center who are teaching our precious children in 2024!

APRIL 17, 2024 Greetings in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Last week wrapped up a month-long mission trip from March 13 - April 11 where we had the privilege to travel to Gambella, Ethiopia to provide different services and support to the vulnerable orphans and widows. The trip went very well and I was delighted to see the orphans and spend time feeding the kids as they were very happy for the feeding program and the new classroom tools. Now, the school building construction project is in progress, and we have begun working with an engineer to accomplish this big goal. We'll be sharing more soon, so be on the lookout for details in our next update. Those living in Gambella are truly blessed to have you in the U.S. come alongside them, praying daily, giving them support with your gifts out of the abundance of your heart! With every life touched this past month an even more awesome responsibility to help others' is our purpose. With more than 1,000 orphans in the A.R.M. Center be sure to read the report below on how you can make a difference in the lives of these dear children. Thank you for being a true blessing to the A.R.M. Ministry! Rev. Michael Gatkek CEO/founder of A.R.M “But you, God, see the trouble of the afflicted; you consider their grief and take it in hand. The victims commit themselves to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.” Psalm 10:14 Join Our Email List

Good News Friends! God has graciously blessed us with new successful fundraising platform and donor friends to help build our school building this coming year and this is a true blessing. I want to say thank you to all our generous donors for their continuing support to the orphans and willingness to help change many lives. The orphans in the ARM Center, this semester beginning in early 2024. The children have now taken their mid-term exams and they will be taking vacation for approximately one week in this period. We are pleased to inform you that the poultry farm is operating efficiently and being managed on a daily basis by our staff to provide food for our community of orphans and widows. We now have 200 chickens in the poultry farm and we want to say a very special thank YOU and how much we appreciate those of you who participated in this project with us. The dozens of healthy chickens in the lots we finalized last year will be used for feeding our orphans in the program. As you can see in the recent pictures shared by our staff in Gambella below, these impoverished widows are progressing every day and our ministry is improving their lives. This is because of your efforts to support ARM. This is all made possible by YOU, our donor support. We cannot THANK all of you enough! Your prayers over them daily will be greatly appreciated!!! Please pray as I am going to be in Africa for the month bringing the necessary school materials and working with our partner, Heart of Africa. Our board asks you to remember us as we travel and bearing witness to all of those who rely on ARM. Be on the lookout for the next update. Praying blessings on your life dear brothers and sisters. We truly love you. Your brother in Christ, Rev. Michael Gatkek Sudanese Nazarene International Ministry Coordinator US/Canada African Nazarene Coordinator US/Canada CEO/ Founder of African Relief Ministries

It’s my commitment to bring these dear spiritual leaders together for the betterment of the spiritual community and to build strong, long-lasting relationships. Tribal practices must discouraged by the pastors who are ministering to their congregants.

May this Christmas season bring joy and happiness to you and family. I am praying, too that your Christmas will be a blessed time and will feel the presence of the Savior's love!
