Within the pages of Joyce Strong’s new book, Hope Rising, ($20.49,
paperback, 9781545602812; $9.99,
e-book, 9781545602829) readers
will discover the miraculous story of the birth and beauty of the Blessings
Hope Educational Centre established in Kenya. In this wonderful place,
desperate children orphaned or abandoned by tribal violence, poverty, or
disease have found healing and hope for the future.
“There
is great cynicism in the U.S. about individually helping the poor in Africa,” states the author. “We have become in general numb
to suffering because of its very enormity, especially in this age of terrorism
and scams. Hope Rising takes an almost frightening leap of faith: a tiny
cadre of friends in the U.S. link arms with a tiny cadre of Kenyans who
together believe that all things are possible with God. And prove it.”
An international speaker and author, Joyce Strong’s passion
is to inspire wholeness in lives, relationships and leadership. This passion
has grown out of 35 years of teaching and leadership in Christian ministries,
her love for others and her personal walk with God. Her books, such as Lambs on the Ledge and Journey to Joy, are having a profound
and redemptive impact around the world. Joyce Strong Ministries partners with
Pastor Samuel Wafula and Gospel Outreach Evangelism Ministry, Kenya, to walk
out the dream of Blessings Hope Educational Centre. Through this partnership,
hope and healing have come to those who have suffered the most—the children.
Joyce and her husband Jim currently live in New Albany, OH, and serve at New
Life Church, Gahanna, OH.
