Year end report

We look back on 2025 with gratitude; we were able to accomplish so much with all the donations! Let's close the year with a 'little' tour of Europe.

At the last minute, we were able to donate €1,000 to Teen Challenge's work among the addicted and  homeless in Finland.

They are active in street evangelism, counseling, group meetings, and activities for young people aged 12-17. In December, they also distributed food and gift packages, a testament to God's love for those who don't know Him.

They recently received an award from the municipality of Espoo for "Best Non-Profit Organization 2025." A wonderful recognition for all their charity work.

The proceeds from Twinkeltje, de Schor, and online sales in December came to €3,700. This amount will go towards the work of CIC Mission in Georgia. It will be used, among other things, to print the Gospel of John in Farsi and to further develop the youth center at the farm.

We were able to donate €3,000 to the Operation Christmas Joy (OCJ) project. This money will help children who have had to flee their country with their families to have a wonderful Christmas.

OCJ focuses on children in many countries, including Turkey, Armenia, and Greece.

We furthermore donated €4,000 towards the restart of the construction of the multi-purpose center in Rivoli, Italy. The Issacar Christian Community was in dire straits after the roof of the center, which was still under construction, collapsed. Fortunately, they weren't to blame, and the continuation of construction has now been approved.

Also, €3,500 went to Teen Challenge's work with addicts, refugees, the homeless, and young people in Georgia.

It's wonderful how the team is committed to making Jesus Christ known to people from various neighboring countries who are seeking refuge in Georgia. We're happy to support them because we've seen the positive change this brings to people's lives.

It's wonderful how we can be of such help and encouragement in so many countries! Thank you so much for your support this past year.

We wish you all a blessed 2026!
