Dear Friends in Christ,

I’m so excited to share what’s been happening with Katharos Love and what’s ahead! God continues to open doors for our students, and I can’t wait to update you on how your support is transforming lives. In this newsletter, you’ll hear about the progress of a couple of our students, my upcoming trip to Ghana, and an urgent need for more monthly sponsors to ensure these young men and women can continue their education.

Your prayers and generosity are making an incredible impact—thank you for being part of this journey with us! 💙
Rebecca, a devoted Christian from the Upper East Region of Ghana, grew up in Kumasi, where she balanced her education with the challenges of her family's financial struggles. Despite setbacks—including leaving school temporarily to support her mother as her father battled severe eye conditions—she excelled academically, graduating with strong results. As the eldest of three children, she has seen firsthand the barriers to education, especially in a family where formal schooling isn’t prioritized. Passionate about teaching, Rebecca began her studies last month—thanks to your support! With your generosity, we were also able to provide her with a computer to aid in her coursework. She is deeply committed to her education, not just for her own future but to create lasting change in her community. Rebecca hopes to become a lecturer and establish a scholarship program to help other students in need, serving as a role model for young girls in northern Ghana who dream of a brighter future.
Heavenrich, an Information Technology student, has shown remarkable resilience and academic promise despite losing his father at a young age. His mother works tirelessly, selling secondhand clothes by day and preparing Kelewele, a spiced plantain delicacy, by night to support the family.

We accepted Heavenrich into our scholarship program last May and have been very impressed with his academic performance. His deep passion for IT drives him to spend his free time researching technology and innovations, and he dreams of using his skills to uplift others in his community. With his strong work ethic, focus, and determination, he is eager to make the most of his education and one day give back by supporting students in need, just as he has been supported.
I’ll be traveling to Ghana once again (May 29 - June 12), and I couldn’t be more excited! The heart of this trip will be connecting with our current students, meeting potential new students, and deepening relationships within the Katharos Love community. I’ll also have the opportunity to continue our eyeglass screenings through the Rosani Lens Project, helping to provide clearer vision for those in need. We are exploring the possibility of partnering with a dental clinic during this initiative, expanding the impact even further.

While one-time gifts make a difference, our greatest need is for monthly sponsors. Consistent support allows us to provide stability for our students, ensuring they have the resources they need for tuition, housing, and daily living expenses. If you’d like to be part of this ongoing mission—whether through student sponsorship, helping fund the eyeglass screenings, or supporting travel expenses—your generosity would be a tremendous blessing. Every gift, no matter the size, helps bring hope and opportunity to those who need it most. Thank you for being part of this life-changing work!

Here’s how you can get involved:

  1. Give: Your donation of any amount makes a tangible difference.
  2. Share: Spread the word about Katharos Love on social media and with friends and family.
  3. Pray: Lift up our students as we partner together to provide hope and opportunity.

Thank you for your faithful love, prayers, and financial support.

May the Lord bless you abundantly!

With love,
Lisa, Leslie, and Debbie
