Meet Revival

Revival was born on September 10, 2000. She was born deaf and with what seems like Fetal Alcohol Syndrome symptoms. At that time, her mother was living a very promiscuous and dangerous life style. The father disappeared before Revival was born. Her mother came to HPM to ask for help with her daughter who was living in isolation with her grandmother on the farm. Over the last few years, her mother has begun to turn her life around by no longer drinking. She is a domestic servant and is now taking part-time classes toward her goal of becoming a kindergarten teacher. HPM is hopful that she can one day become part of the HPM family and raise her own daughter. Revival currently attends Talitha-Kumi Christian Academy where she has made great strides in her development in light of her partial deafness and speech issues. She is a joyful young girl who loves meeting visitors, playing games and having her picture taken.

What will we be doing?

This is one of those simple questions that comes with any missions trip, however the answer may not be as simple as the question. Typical short term missions trips bring their own agenda which they aim to accomplish during their stay so they can return and show their supporters how much return was gained from their investment. This task-oriented mission does not always take into account the unique gifts and skills God has given team members nor the goals and vision of the long-term ministries we will be involved with. That said, our goals will be relationship-oriented with the purpose of encouraging and supporting the long-term missionaries who are already well established and will continue ministering after we leave.

Each team members specific day-to-day tasks may look very different depending on what gifts and skills you bring to the table. For example, those with teaching experience may be involved in the classroom as teaching assistants or help with tutoring after school. Those who have skills in dance, music, soccer, or drama may be involved with after-school programs or workshops. Others may participate in Bible studies, community outreach programs, youth group activities, and more. But most importantly, all of us will have the opportunity to share God's love in a practical way with the poor, the fatherless, and the widowed. We will be able to encourage and support those long-term missionaries who have faithfully dedicated their lives to serving God's people in Namibia. And through us giving of ourselves, you will be encouraged and grow in more ways than you realize.

Meet Anna

Prior to coming to His Promise, Anna and her brother Asser were in and out of the hospital a number of times due to malnutrition. The Sisters at the hospital had come to know them and finally brought them to the attention of the social worker. Their mother suffers from extreme poverty, alcohol abuse, and promiscuity. She gave no attention to her children who have now found a home through HPM. Anna is now 8 years old and a bundle of energy. She loves to run and play and show off her cartwheels. Together with her 12 year old brother they live with their new foster mommy, Likkie, and two other foster siblings. They both go to the Talitha-Kumi Christian Academy in Arandis. These two children have been given a chance at life through their association with His Promise Ministries.

Meet Queen & Memory

Queen and Memory are two sisters under the care of His Promise Ministries in Arandis, Namibia. Queen is older at 10 years old, and Memory is 9. Their mother is ill and has a severe drinking problem. Both girls were part of an extended family that was unable to care for the more than 22 children they were responsible for. After being placed with His Promise Ministries, Queen and Memory, along with their cousin Riaan, now live with a foster mother, Alma. They both attend Talitha-Kumi Christian Academy, the ministry's private school, where they will receive a quality education. Queen is not shy to say what's on her mind, while Memory has a sweet temperament and a wonderful, bright smile. With the help of foreign sponsors and His Promise Ministries, these two girls now have plenty to smile about.
