Dear Friend,

I am honoured to be the new Executive Director for World Hope International (Canada). As we look back on 2017, I am amazed at the number of lives changed and communities transformed. Together, we have laboured to alleviate poverty, suffering, and injustice to vulnerable people and exploited communities around the world.

Near the end of 2017 after a challenging hurricane and emergency response season,

we were clinging to the verse in Galatians about not becoming weary in doing good—reminding ourselves that we shouldn’t lose heart.

World Hope International (WHI) had a front-row seat to all of the loss and devastation of Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, Maria, and the deadly Sierra Leone mudslides that claimed nearly 1,000 lives. But I’m thankful that this front-row seat also meant we could respond swiftly to the critical and sudden needs of these disasters.

Reflecting on all we were able to accomplish in 2017, I’m glad WHI was counted among the faith-based relief groups which provided around 75% of hurricane-related aid right away—groups which are leading the charge around the world to save lives and reduce suffering. I’ve seen first-hand the strength of the local church to act as the safety net for the vulnerable. Alongside The Wesleyan Church, WHI utilized partnerships—both new and old—to take a proactive role in response, specifically in Cuba.

But while our 2017 story was marked most notably by the clean water, power, food aid, and psychosocial relief we were able to supply across Puerto Rico, the Caribbean, Cuba, Florida, Texas, and Sierra Leone during desperate times, we celebrate so many other exciting moments this year.

In an effort to continue to build and equip our team, we welcomed new technical experts to lead with wisdom in areas of health and nutrition, gender-based violence and anti-trafficking, community development and agriculture, and water and sanitation.

Our flagship ministry in Ukraine continues to serve thousands of social orphans through the First Step Centre and our two Hope Houses providing a safe haven for young women who have aged out of the state-run orphanages. Work teams continue to visit and support the ministries in Ukraine. The Fortress Ministry in Swaziland saw thousands of students interested in learning about

AIDS prevention, and we were able to cap four springs in Congo despite the ongoing instability in the country. The Alpha Program in Sierra Leone is a haven of nutrition for children who are near death, and we see consistent health in the children who are served. Our partnership with Project Reach Out in Ghana is expanding as we were able to raise enough funds to drill two wells serving over 5000 people in two communities!

WHI Canada also entered into exciting new operational partnerships with WHI Australia and WHI USA in order to streamline resources and expand our shared mission. By working together, we know we’ll be able to amplify our work and message to help more people. I am excited to learn from CEO’s John Lyon (USA) and Ruth Thomas (Australia) as we partner together to accomplish even more in 2018.

As we’ve helped to transform thousands of lives this year—women, children, and families—we’re committed to bringing hope in Jesus’ name. This requires us to listen hard to local communities, partner with others to do the best work we can, and build up a team of smart, compassionate people. But we’re able to accomplish none of this life-changing and transformative work without you.

Thank you for helping to alleviate poverty, suffering and injustice around the world this year. I truly look forward to our partnership in 2018!

Blessings,

Tanya Renea Nace – Executive Director
