Dear friends and partners,

My heart is overwhelmed and overtaken by your great generosity. It is wonderful to see how many of you have positively responded and are still responding to our newsletter. It is great to have friends and supporters like you. Thank you for your giving spirit. It is amazing to see how much we have been able to accomplish in such a short time. This is more than we could have ever dreamt. We are at a point of no return. We believe that we will be able to meet our schedule as planned. We have much to celebrate. I know for sure that The City of Hope will be able to open it's doors in just a few months.

I'm writing this from London on my way to The City of Hope. First, I will be stopping in Dar es Salaam to meet some of our ground team that is tirelessly working to make The City of Hope a success. On this trip, I will be preparing for the arrival of the team as well as for the Murrays, our missionary family who will be moving to the City of Hope. Their presence there will reduce the frequency of my travel to The City of Hope and enable me to do other things that require my attention. Please pray for me and for the team that will be joining me.

I am pleased to annonce that, while in Dar Es Salaam, I will also be pickinig up our first vehicle for The City of Hope. I will then drive across Tanzania to The City of Hope. It will be a two-day drive and will give me the opportunity to experience another part of Africa. We believe this vehicle will be a great help to all that we are doing. Up to this point the only mechanized piece of equipment at The City of Hope is the tractor. It has been amazing how much has been accomplished with so little equipment.

One thing I have learned through working and ministering in different nations is that the poorer the nation, the more paperwork you have to do to accomplish even simple things. Having money to purchase or do something does not mean that you can do it when you need it. It has been a hassle just to buy this vehicle but we thank God for our friends and our well-connected ground team in Tanzania. The Lord has given us favor with a lot of important people in high places in that nation. One of the reasons is because they have recognized what we are doing for the nation. We also believe the Lord's favor is upon our ministry. Because of this, we are able to accomplish a lot with a single phone call. Once again, we want to thank you for standing with us in partnership and in making a difference in the lives of many people.

Since the birth of the vision of The City of Hope, I have had a fresh love for the continent of Africa and her people, especially the children. No wonder, my wife and I have adopted three new children from Africa! Those of you who have followed our story know that this has been a long, complicated process that had been finally completed. We welcome Sarah (age 7), Rose (age 9) and Susan (age 15). Susan came in December and her younger sisters came in March. Susan has been a great asset to help her younger sisters adjust to America, to our home and to our school system. The girls are happy for their newfound life and family in America. Our house is full of new joyous songs from Africa. The girls love to sing and play games. It is amazing how they have fit right into our family and have such willing hearts to learn and to help. Looking into their eyes, I see the pain and the suffering that they have gone through which represents millions of other African children and yet I can also see joy and hope for the future.

Once again, thank you for your continuous support. Let us continue to build The City of Hope. If you are not a regular supporter of The City of Hope. We hope you can make The City of Hope your city, where you can help to bring transformation in a nation in our generation.

God Bless you,

Dr. John N. Chacha
