<p><em>At Nyaso village in a Free pentecostal church when we were conducting a follow up seminar, a certain lady affirmed that she was very much touched by the teachings on repentance. Then she went on saying that it was 13th of december 2011 her mother was killed by the brother of her father. This lady who introduced her name to us as Grace intended to kill the brother of her father, she was even about to start going to see different witchdoctors. Thank God after attending to the seminar she decided to forgive her uncle and forget. Finally we prayed for her and she committed her life to the Lord together with her husband respectively.</em></p>

<p>Dear Friends, <br />
<br />
We are praising God for the fruit He has brought through Here’s Life Africa. Our efforts in 2011 reached more people for Christ than live in the fourth largest city in the U.S. By the end of 2011, we saw over 2.3 million people come to Christ during the year. <img alt="heres life africa kids" style="float: right; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" src="http://hereslifeafrica.com/Websites/hereslifeafrica/images/Stories/kids-in-Africa-Heres-Life.jpg" /><br />
<br />
Millions are coming to Christ, being discipled, trained and equipped for ministry. When we see and hear a witch doctor give up their authority and stronghold on an entire village, and begin leading others to Christ, it makes everything we do worth it. God has prepared the hearts of millions more who are waiting to hear the gospel. <br />
<span style="color: #e36c09;"><em><span style="font-size: 18px;"><strong><br />
Will you include Here’s Life in your giving? You can help enable a team to reach villages that have never heard the gospel and educate them about AIDS. You can furnish the power to reach a village.</strong></span></em></span></p>
<p>When you give to Here’s Life you are planting seed in the most fertile spiritual soil on earth. Please partner with us to reach and disciple more Africans.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Together we are bringing life to millions.

<p>Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
Here’s Life Africa teams planted over 300 churches in 2011. The following testimony of Wilson Malongo, is only one illustration of the church planting our teams do all over East Africa.<br />
<br />
Our first objective for North Mara JESUS Film team is to bring unity among churches of all denominations in this region. In our region Here's Life planted 138 churches between 2005-2011. These churches were established after watching the JESUS Film and being ministered to by Here's Life. <img alt="" style="float: right; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" src="http://hereslifeafrica.com/Websites/hereslifeafrica/images/Stories/anglican-church-in-africa.jpg" /><br />
<br />
<strong><span style="color: #e36c09;">We now have peace for the first time in the history of this region as many tribes and villages have been engaged in civil war. Here's Life brought peace by unifying all eight warring village chiefs together. They met and all came to Christ due to the efforts of 16 of our Here’s Life teams showing the JESUS Film in 350 villages over a 16 day period. 178,000 people came to Christ and freely surrendered their lives after watching the JESUS Film in villages.</span></strong><br />
<em><strong><br />
One Bishop, Hilkiah Omindo of the Diocese of Mara, managed to plant a total of 120 churches with village pastors. These churches grew to be so large, the Bishop had to divide his diocese into three Dioceses, Mara, Rorya, and Tarime. We continue to pray for these new congregations so that they may spiritually grow stronger daily.</strong></em><br />
<br />
When people spread the word and bring others to Christ, we see the evidence of the Gospel taking root where we minister. Your generous support of this ministry will bear fruit for many generations, as Africa is forever changed.<br />

<em><strong>
</strong></em>
<p style="text-align: left;">2011 was the most successful year in our last 14 years of ministry.&nbsp;<img alt="2011 ministry results for Here's Life Africa" style="float: right; width: 200px; height: 454px; margin-top: 15px; margin-left: 15px;" src="http://hereslifeafrica.com/Websites/hereslifeafrica/images/heres-life-africa--2011-results.jpg" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">More people came to Christ than ever before. Churches that we have planted in the past are planting other churches. We are seeing the Gospel multiply right before
our eyes. <br />
<br />
One of our emphases for 2012 will be discipleship. Since millions are receiving Christ, we want them to have greater access to God’s Word and resources in order to learn what it means to follow Christ. <br />
<br />
Your partnership means a great deal to this ministry. With all God has laid before us, we believe that 2012 will be a very fruitful season. God has </p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">prepared the hearts of many Africans who will come into the kingdom because of your generous support.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">The word “million” sounds overwhelming, but each person can be a story of a changed life, through Jesus Christ. Witch doctors are surrendering their control over people, husb</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">ands are coming to Christ and have stopped beating their wives, people are being discipled, and fewer parents are dying from AIDS, leaving their children orphaned in their village. <br />

<p>Dear Friends, </p>
<p>We so often forget to remember those who help us along our journey in life, because we are so busy trying to keep our own journey moving. </p>
<p>When we started Here’s Life Africa over 14 years ago, we never knew the eternal impact we would have and never imagined God would use us to reach millions of people for Christ and offer humanitarian aid to thousands every year. </p>
<p>Our goal from the beginning has been to partner with people like yourself to bring life to as many Africans as we could. What started on a donkey cart with two men has grown to 50 two-man teams, traveling to 3,000 remote villages each year.</p>
<p>We recognize that you play a large part in our success. Through your continued generosity, you make this ministry possible. Thank you for helping us share the good news of Jesus Christ in Africa. </p>
<p><strong>We couldn’t do it without you.</strong></p>
<p><strong><em>I thank my God always concerning you for the grace of God which was given to you by Christ Jesus. </em></strong><br />
1 Corinthians 1:4</p>

We 	thank God for using our ministry in a marvelous way. Many people received Jesus 	Christ as their Lord and Savior. More than 435 received Jesus Christ during open 	air meetings and door to door evangelism; among them 12 Muslims were saved. 	4001 people got saved during the Jesus Film shows in different areas. We thank 	God because through prayer in Jesus’ name many people were healed from their 	diseases. One of them who was paralyzed, and not able to walk. We thank God after 	prayer she was healed.

Before He met Christ he was the “hellion” of his village. He despised and hated the Word of God. He was a self-described bad guy. Then the Here's Life Africa  team evangelized his village and started a Proclaimer listening group there. He said he understood the Word of God for the first time when he heard it on the Proclaimer. After hearing the Word of God through the Proclaimer Jackson received the Lord and his life changed radically. Instead of serving the devil and his own selfish desires now he is serving and loving his family, serving others in his church, and is a true disciple of Jesus and worshiper of God. He feels called to go to Bible school and become an evangelist. He was one of the leaders from his village who led us on a “hut to hut” outreach in this area.</p>

We decided to hold a pastor’s conference and blitz the area of Tarime on the northern border of Tanzania with the Gospel. We sent twenty of our teams to reach 330 villages with the JESUS Film. 176,000 people received the Lord. We started 80 new Proclaimer listening groups and 30 new churches. Our African director called the warring chiefs together and led each of them to the Lord. They each committed to peace and the war stopped!
