Pastor Raymond from Emmanuel Baptist Church in Hadu, Kenya was sure to point out that “all these testimonies are real!” And that these people increased their giving to the Lord and participated gratefully in fundraising for the church. All these years, Pr Raymond has been growing fruit from the seeds we sowed so many years ago. I thank God that he allowed us to enjoy it.
Sister Mary began selling porridge as she walked around town
and she says she is “doing great!” She also makes charcoal to sell in town too.

Esther and her husband started a new shop after attending
Surprised by Hope’s Entrepreneurship teachings. She said that those teachings
opened up the way she thinks and now she has confidence in her business and her
abilities as a result.
Sister Fatuma is happily selling chai, chapatti and more in
her food kiosk. She started this business after the teaching too. She served Pr
Ephantus and Pr Raymond as they met to discuss her new business. Pr Ephantus
said, “Mmmm, it’s very nice food for sure.”

Christine is happy to be selling her home utensils and close
in this new shop she started after the lessons. The teaching about knowing how
to use their assets creatively really helped her.

Mama Gladys, Pastor Raymond’s wife, started selling fruits
and vegetables as a result of the teaching.
