Banquet of Hope and Xelda Ministries

If you haven't yet RSVPd for the Hospitals of Hope banquet, there is still time. The banquet will take place at 6:45 pm on March 6 at Central Christian Church and will feature Alexis Bilindabagabo, an Anglican bishop and survivor of the Rwandan genocide. If you would like to come, please RSVP by February 25 to 316.262.0964 or http://hospitalsofhope2009.eventbrite.com/. We hope to see you there!

Hospitals of Hope has also begun work on a new project in Bolivia. When Xelda Ditmer, the grandmother of Hospitals of Hope's founder and a longtime supporter of our work, passed away this past fall, Xelda ministries was born. Using money donated in her name, Hospitals of Hope plans to open a coffee shop to reach out to youth in Cochabamba, Bolivia. Cochabamba currently does not have many places for young people to simply come and hang out, and the coffee shop will be a place for fellowship and for sharing the gospel-- another way that we can show Christ's love in Bolivia.
