Visions Made Viable

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Paige. I am an American Christian and minister with In His Hands International Ministries . God got a hold of me a few years ago, when I was at one of the lowest places in my life, financially. Funny how disaster to us looks like opportunity to God. Anyway, God convicted my heart to "Do something!" for my friend, Pastor Peter Kuyuni (Salvation to Nations Ministries ), and his wife Cppline, in Kitale, Kenya, who had taken in 23 street children by faith, not knowing how God would provide, but knowing that someone needed to do something for these precious children!

Since I had adopted two of my own precious kids from the ends of the earth and know first hand the struggles these precious children face, through no fault of their own, I knew I had to "do something", although at the time, the "can't's" blared louder than the "can's". I also stepped out in faith, joining this worthy cause and allowing myself to be a vessel for God in changing these children's lives and futures for His glory.

Because of God's great love for these beautiful and precious children, most of whom were orphaned through HIV/AIDS, political violence, or simply the neglect and abandonment that comes with extreme poverty, God brought Peter and I together from the ends of the earth, and in faith, we founded Hope's House Foundation Kenya, which is a certified NGO (non-governmental organization), dedicated to helping the orphans and oppressed children of Kitale, Kenya. Peter is the "hands and feet", ministering to the children's daily needs face to face. I am the "mouthpiece", helping to get the word out to the world that there are beautiful and amazing children out there who need us to be the means by which they are showered with unconditional love, brought into the healing power of the Gospel of Christ, given nourishing and healthy food, getting them off of the dangerous streets and providing them a loving and safe home, and giving them a solid education to give them a hope and a future.

Through a grassroots effort, and the loving support of people like you, we have now grown to two orphanages, caring for 65 precious children (and growing), and a Christian school, Hope and Light Academy, which is providing top-quality education to 100 orphans and non-orphans in the Kitale, Kenya region.

We are now partnering with Visions Made Viable so that our donors and sponsors can receive tax deductions for their generous support.

Thank you so much for helping us to give these precious children a hope and a future!

May God bless your prayers and help for these children and this ministry, because what you do for them, you are truly doing for Him!

"'Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of Mine, you did for Me.'"
-Jesus

Hi from Junaid (8) and Thor (5):

When we learned the story about the 5 month old baby who somehow survived an attack on civilians in Gaza while his mum and 4 siblings were killed and that 40% of casualties in  Gaza were women and children, we wanted to help the Palestinian people. We thought the best thing we could do was to raise money for medical help.

Please join us in helping to provide much needed medical aid to the people of Gaza.  All funds raised  will go to Beirut and Beyond  (Visions Made Viable is the fiscal sponsor) who will redistribute funds to hospitals in Gaza working around the clock to save Palestinian lives.

All donations will receive a handwritten thank you from Junaid and Thor.

Upon request, donations of $20 and over will receive a peace flower handmade by Junaid or Thor.

Upon request, donations of $50 and over will receive a poster made by Junaid in support of the Palestinian people.

Upon request, donations of $100 or more will receive all of the above.



We will provide updates on the impact of your giving as we get them!

Thank you for your support. Please share this fundraiser with anyone you know.

Wishing you all peace,

Junaid and Thor

Beirut and Beyond is happy to announce our two-year birthday this month!

Most new organizations don’t survive their first two years but thanks to your support, we are still here and we are expanding. We want to both celebrate this milestone and continue looking to the future. For our birthday present, we would like to invite your engagement with our first full project:

Documentary Film

A dream of one of our Palestinian friends is to make a film based on the lives of young Palestinian men in refugee camps. This film will center on these young men and their families, current day-to-day situations, and the many obstacles they face as permanent refugees in host countries. This is his vision and he is writing the script, we are just providing the tools to make this happen! Help us make this dream come true and give these young men a voice.


Phase One of the documentary film project will be the advance scouting and preparation phase. Beirut and Beyond is sending our Executive Director, Suzann Mollner, back to the Middle East in November for 3 months to help our local friends accomplish:

- A finalized script

- Location scouting

- Complete selection of interviewees and film participants

- Shooting and editing footage for a short movie trailer

The short movie trailer is a precursor to the grant applications we are actively pursuing to fund the later phases of this project. However, we need $10,000 to begin this important collaborative work with our Palestinian partners. Will you join with us to raise funds for this 1st Phase? The budget includes travel, location scouting, equipment, editing, and expenses on the ground.

You can either give through our GoFundMe campaign for this project, or set-up sustainable monthly giving to support our organization’s work through the year. All donations given to both GoFundMe and Beirut and Beyond are tax deductible.

Please follow us on our Facebook page or Suzann’s page for her journal from the Middle East documenting Phase One.

We seek to enhance the beauty and dignity of Palestinian communities by partnering with individuals and organizations involved in relief and reconciliation.

HELP 120 ORPHANS IN KENYA TO FIND HOPE THIS CHRISTMAS

Hello, my name is Elizabeth Chavoustie, American Christian minister and Co-Founder of Hope's House Kenya. By the grace of God, my dear friend, Pastor Peter Kuyuni, native of Kitale, Kenya, started caring for 21 precious children who were orphaned through HIV/AIDS and political violence, even though he and his wife had no money, just a lot of faith and a heart to trust God with the impossible.

Through the help of many of you, and the hand of Almighty God, over the course of the last ten years, the ministry has grown into two children's homes that have rescued 100 precious children off the streets of Kitale, Kenya, and provided them with love, food, and an education and heart to succeed.

THEY NOW HAVE THE NEED TO TAKE IN 20 MORE ORPHANS, BRINGING THE TOTAL TO 120, AND THEY NEED YOUR HELP!!

Please hear Pastor Peter in his own words:

"Praise God my dear friend and fellow servant in God's vineyard. I am grateful to welcome you to be part and parcel of helping orphans and widows in Kenya as the Bible says,

James 1:27, "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world."

By the help of our Elizabeth Chavoustie, as the Founder of Hope's House Kenya, since the year 2014 when we started helping orphans, the first 21 orphans are currently great men and women. In the year 2017 we added 39 more orphans which made a total of 60 orphans. After building Hope's House Kenya Children's home we added 20 young orphans making a total of 80 orphans after Covid 19 in the year 2021 we added 20 more orphans making a total of 100 orphans and lastly on 26th December 2024 we shall give admissions to 20 more orphans, the final total will be 120 orphans.

Although the big orphans can't be contained in the orphanage with young orphans, some are with their guardians, some are employed, some are married, some still depend on the orphanage, so 30 of the orphans are now grown-ups. 90 of them are very young still, in high school, colleges, and others learn in our orphanage school (Hope and Light Academy).

You don't need to wait for millions of dollars in order to help orphans or widows, but the little you have is very much precious as you share with this poor "family". Here are a few ways you can help.

1) You can help feed them one meal, breakfast, which costs $ 50 feeding 60 orphans in the orphanage.

2) You can help feed them one meal of Lunch that costs $ 70 to feed 60 orphans

3) You can help them eat dinner at the cost of $ 90 to feed 60 orphans

4) Or help 60 orphans eat three meals in a day for a total cost of $ 210

5) You can help them with Christmas clothing at $6 for each child, or sixty of them at $ 6 × 60 = $360

6) You can buy a pair of shoes for an orphan at $10 per orphan for Christmas celebration, or pairs of shoes for sixty orphans $ 10 ×60 =$ 600

7) You can help in buying school uniform each at $ 40 ($240 for 60)

8) You can help pay school fees for $ 100 per child per term

9) You can help pay school fees in college each semester for $ 500 per student

10) You can sponsor an orphan with $ 50 per month

11) You can help us buy food for our Christmas celebration, which will feed more than 100 orphans and 20 widows in Hope's House Kenya children's home, including Christmas decorations and food for $ 500

12) You may lack what to give, but your prayer in Christ is very effective, that is the one we need mostly. Our relationship with God through Christ Jesus is more than material things.

13) You may lack money, but please set a time to greet the orphans and widows on the video call to give them your happiness, we will appreciate.

14) You may like to come and meet orphans and widows in person; you are most welcome. Our non-profit organization is registered. We shall meet you in the airport, bring you home, give you food, accommodation, transportation and security.

15) You may like to send a letter to Hope's House Kenya orphans or send any gift like a cell phone, laptop, writing books, pens, crayons, etc. You can do it through:

www.hopeshousekenya.org

Thank you for your time! I will be so very happy to have you on my side as a partner in helping orphans meet their basic needs.

Once again, I say thank you for your support and help! God bless you; we love you so much.
