A Year of Gratitude, a Season of Hope, and a Future of Greater Impact

Dear Early Lift Ministry Supporters, Friends, and Partners in Christ,

“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

As we come toward the end of 2026, our hearts are filled with gratitude to God and to every one of you who has stood with Early Lift Ministry throughout this year.

Your prayers, generosity, encouragement, financial contributions, and commitment to this mission have been more than acts of kindness. They have been expressions of God's love reaching families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.

This year, we have witnessed something truly meaningful: eight families with premature babies in Burundi and Rwanda have received support through Early Lift Ministry.

Through your generosity, eight families received financial support to help cover the medical care of their premature babies. Families were supported beyond hospital discharge, recognizing that the challenges of caring for a premature baby do not end when a child leaves the hospital. We also helped families establish small income-generating activities to strengthen their financial independence and long-term sustainability.

These initiatives included cow rearing and farming, sewing projects, goat rearing, and small clothing-selling businesses.

Our vision has always been bigger than providing temporary assistance. We want to walk alongside families, restore hope, strengthen their ability to care for their children, and help them build a more sustainable future.

We are not simply helping families survive a difficult season; we are working toward helping them rebuild their lives with dignity, hope, and opportunity.

Looking Ahead: The Next Chapter of Early Lift Ministry

As we prepare to enter 2027, we believe God is calling us to take another step forward.

We are beginning this next phase with our Christmas Outreach, an opportunity to bring love, encouragement, practical support, and the joy of Christ to families who have experienced the challenges of premature birth.

Christmas reminds us of God's greatest gift to humanity: Jesus Christ. It is also a beautiful reminder that even in difficult circumstances, hope is alive.

Through this Christmas initiative, we want to reach families, celebrate the lives of their little ones, encourage parents, and remind them that they are not forgotten or alone.

Blessings, Patrick and Marie
