How Can You Make an Impact on Kids Around the World? 
Africa is a place with great hope and resources but also with many challenges. It is the youngest continent on earth, with a median age of only 19 years and 70 percent of the people under age 30. About one-third of the world's teenagers live in Africa.

Education, income, and access to reliable technology lag behind the rest of the world. Over half of Africa's population lives in rural areas, so children often leave school to work on farms to help provide for their families. Because education is low, illiteracy is a challenge across the region. Many people do not learn to read and write beyond an elementary-school level. For this reason, distributing Bibles and booklets is often not the best way to reach individuals with the Gospel. In addition, more than 2,000 languages are spoken on the continent.

These factors create unique circumstances and opportunities to share the Gospel with people in diverse places using different outreach methods. All the funds raised this year will help support LHM children's programs in various countries throughout Africa, including:

• Drama Performances use storytelling to catch the audience's attention and relate the Gospel to their local lives.
• Film Screenings where LHM staff use generators and projectors to show biblical films to large groups in rural areas.
• Vocational Training Programs that teach young women in their teens basic skills like sewing and making clothes that help them find employment and care for their family.
• Holistic Ministry where LHM sometimes assists children by distributing school supplies and items to help them study or stay in school.
• Bible Correspondence Courses (BCC) allow LHM staff to meet someone in person and offer a BCC so that they can study at home in their own time.
• Medical Support partnership with Lutheran congregations and medical caregivers in the United States allows LHM staff to meet each person and pray with them, sharing the Good News with them.
• Response to Natural Disasters assists people facing tragedies through rebuilding lost homes or planting new crops.
