O Lord you are my God: I will exalt you and praise your Name, for in perfect faithfulness, you have done marvellous things, things planned long ago.
Isaiah 25:1
We give thanks to God for this year, for His many blessings and help with the work. For all the families He brought to us to help, to share His Word, to give a Bible. For all the conversations that happened over the phone. For churches and individual Christians giving their support in practical and monetary ways.

Jeff and Tricia Bradford, authors of Beauty for Ashes, say that if we want a future where abortion is unthinkable, the change has to begin in people’s hearts and minds, and in the church by clearly speaking about and upholding the value of unborn children.
One of our volunteers, Ula visiting another Hope mum, post-partum. This is this mum’s testimony:
During my first trimester I was so stressed and anxious about being alone and how am I going to do it without any support system. I found HH when I googled ‘pregnancy crisis support’. I emailed them, they called me straight away, they told me I’ll be ok, also told me they will support me. From day 1 of my antenatal appointment till my last one they went with me, gave me baby items, food hampers and took me out for coffee. They always called and messaged to check on me. After having my baby, I got gifts and regular visits. Even though I have no family to share my joy of having a baby here in Australia, the love, support and care I get from HH is like family. They make me enjoy my pregnancy and motherhood. I am so grateful about the support I get from HH.❤

Recently, Southern Districts Reformed Baptist Church, did a fundraiser for HH. They donated and made up these beautiful hampers with handmade cards for us to give to the Hope mums. We thank these ladies and all our volunteers. What a blessing and honour to serve God in this ministry.
To God be the Glory!
We thank you all for your prayers and support. May you all have a happy Christmas and New Year!
