Stepping into 2025: Renewing Hope and Expanding Impact at Redeeming Zoe
As we step into 2025, we want to take a moment to express our deepest gratitude for your unwavering support throughout the years. Your generosity, prayers, and commitment have been instrumental in allowing us to continue our mission of protecting and empowering children. Through you, lives are being transformed, and hope is being restored in the communities we serve. Here are a few updates from on-the-ground at Redeeming Zoe, Cebu. I hope these victories bring a smile to your face and remind you of how much good you're a part of.
JANUARY WINS:
In January, Redeeming Zoe Inc. successfully ministered to over 100 children across our partner communities. Through various activities, we engaged them in values formation, educational support, and spiritual encouragement. Our team facilitated interactive sessions focusing on child safety, personal development, and faith-building. The impact was evident as children actively participated, expressed their learnings, and deepened their understanding of self-worth and protection.
One of the most heartwarming testimonies this month is the story of a young boy who struggled with an ear infection that caused his left ear to grow abnormally large. This condition severely affected his self-esteem, making him shy and hesitant to attend school or participate in Redeeming Zoe programs. However, through our support, he was able to undergo a successful operation. Today, he is a transformed child—confident, happy, and actively engaging in school and our programs. His journey is a testament to the impact of our mission in restoring hope and dignity to the children we serve.
We are pleased to report the successful renewal of our business permits for 2025. This ensures that our organization continues operating legally and efficiently, allowing us to expand our programs and services without interruption. The process was completed smoothly, reflecting our commitment to compliance and sustainability.
As you might have seen in our social media platforms, Redeeming Zoe Inc. is experiencing a season of growth as our team continues to expand. We have welcomed new team members who bring valuable skills, passion, and dedication to our mission. A few months ago, they were on probation and now have officially become part of the team. This increase in manpower enhances our ability to reach more children and families, strengthen our partnerships, and improve the overall effectiveness of our initiatives.
January has been a productive and impactful month for Redeeming Zoe Inc. With the successful ministry to children, the renewal of essential permits, and the growth of our team, we are positioned to make even greater strides in our mission to protect and empower children. We look forward to the continued expansion of our reach and impact in the months ahead.
