 An update from Kpowbie Daniel of Togo, West Africa:
"The Malaria Ends Life Begins Project is now officially launched in the first church and the 100 requested nets were delivered to them during a two days evangelism program we had with them. We had 14 adults give their lives to Jesus.
"That church has already launched three different house cells and these are very active.
"The training is still going on in the second church and we are planning on launching the program there with 400 bed nets."

Founders Gather in Accra and Nairobi
February 2010 Terry Dalrymple
In February, CHE leaders from different organizations gathered in Accra and Naoribi to establish the Global CHE Network in Africa. Discussions at these meetings focused on the question, "How can we expand the CHE movement into every corner of the world and strengthen each other’s ministries using our collective assets for the sake of the Kingdom of God?” Strategic plans were written, one for West Africa, and one for the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. The plans include a vision and mission statement as well as action plans.
Before these meetings convened a survey was conducted to find answers to the question of what CHE trainers and coordinators needed most from the Network. Click here to see the results of Founders Survey (.pdf document).

CHE Disability - Kenya
Nairobi, Kenya, March, 2010
Fred Juma testifies "One of the great highlights for the year 2009 was the oportunity to go through the CHE Disability training. It has begun a whole new chapter in the CHE operations." He tells the story of a girl named Felista who was hidden away by her mother because of ridicule she had received because Felista could not walk. After much encouragement from the meetings of mothers of children living with disability, she stopped hiding Felista. During a screening that was done by the local children's hospital, Felista started attending therapy and is now able to walk. To read the whole story, click here and download the CHE Support and Development Newsletter. (Issue 1, 2010, CHE Support and Development Centre, attached). Lesson plans and information about how you can address disability in your CHE communities can be downloaded from the members resource section of this website, http://www.chenetwork.org/member_resources/disabilities.php.

Lion Tracking Gear
Nairobi, Kenya, March 2010 - Kay Lynn Aylard
I am an American missionary stopping in Kenya for a while before heading to my work in Zimbabwe. I met my neighbor Phoebe, a CHE Team Leader in Narok who befriended and shared with me the concepts and methods of CHE. I was especially taken with CHE’s “Story of Lions”, an illustration of a community plagued by the effects of poverty and injustice, and empowered to identify, track and overcome them. For the past few years, I have been seeking tools to help me in the work God has called me to, in reconciliation and healing in Africa.
Through CHE, I now have the “gear” I need to help individuals and groups “track lions” in their lives and overcome them with their own resources. I thank God for Phoebe and the culturally appropriate “gear” she has shared with me through CHE. Thanks to all those tracking lions with CHE all over the world! May God bless you as you have blessed me.
