    God is providing for two single-parent families in ways that neither could have predicted only a few short years ago.

    Life has been hard for parents this year with the COVID-19 pandemic closing parks and schools.

    One community in the Philippines banded together to transform their neighborhood so successfully that even their city's government took notice.

    Block 38 is a lively, urban-poor community located in Mandaluyong City. The neighborhood is congested with more than 16,000 citizens crowded into narrow lanes and small houses. 

    Crooked alleyways are crammed with sari-sari stories, food stalls and packs of children running between pedestrian traffic.

    Agape Hope Children Center was established to take care of orphans and other vulnerable youngsters in Nairobi, Kenya. Close to 150 children live at the orphanage and are educated at the center’s school. Another 500 children are part of the food program, and World Challenge’s support has empowered the center to impact the lives of the whole community.

    In some cultures, tuberculosis (TB) is associated with witchcraft or familial curses. This is due in part to ignorance about how TB is spread and it often being associated with HIV, poverty, drug use, homelessness, imprisonment or being a refugee.

    Two sisters have survived heartbreaking events and are drawing closer to one another as they trust God for a brighter future.

    Tara Winkler volunteered at an orphanage in Cambodia, excited to be able to help children in need. The longer she spent there, though, the more she began noticing strange things. Children were catching mice to eat because they were so hungry, despite money pouring in to support the organization.
