Project Hannah, which takes its
name from the biblical woman, Hannah (1 Sam. 1:1-28),
was founded in 1997 by Awareness Advocate Marli Spieker.
Marli and her husband, Edmund, were Trans World Radio
missionaries in Asia when God impressed upon her the many
women who are trapped in spiritual, cultural, and physical
bondage.

January 2002 - Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!
I would like to take a few moments to celebrate God's love and
faithfulness to us, and also the love and faithfulness of those
who have prayed and financially supported PH's ministry for
the past four years.
In November, Project Hannah hosted "Celebration of Love,"
a beautiful event in which we remembered the love and faithfulness
of the Lord with many of our prayer partners. This was also
the day we broke PH's annual 40 days of fasting and prayer in
Cary, NC. Love and faithfulness...two words which describe God's
essence. "God is love" and "His faithfulness
reaches to the skies," so says the Bible.
That evening, Carol Cymbala's song, He's Been Faithful,
was presented magnificently! It describes God's unchanging love
and enduring faithfulness toward broken people who need His
healing touch. Here are the words:
"In my moments of fear, through every pain, every tear,
there's a God who's been faithful to me. When my strength was
all gone, when my heart had no song still in love He's proved
faithful to me. Every word He's promised, is true. What I thought
was impossible, I see my God do. He's been faithful to me. Looking
back, His love and mercy I see. Though in my heart I have questioned,
even failed to believe, yet, He's been faithful, faithful to
me.
"When my heart looked away the many times I could not pray,
still my God He was faithful to me. The days I spent so selfishly,
reaching out for what pleased me, even then God was faithful
to me. Every time I come back to Him, He is waiting with open
arms and I see once again. He's been faithful to me. Looking
back His love and mercy I see. Though in my heart I have questioned
even failed to believe, yet, He's been faithful, faithful to
me."
Because of His faithfulness, your prayers have softened our
listeners' hearts to receive God's healing touch. Your financial
support has enabled us to broadcast innovative programs which
have been endorsed by government officials for their impact
on women's lives. Your prayers have caused the plight of women
who live in utter repression and spiritual darkness to be exposed
to the world by the secular media in a manner that PH's awareness
program could never have done. Christians around the globe are
praying for these women today as never before.
Women of Hope programs are giving women encouragement
and hope, and we receive many letters like this one from Papua
New Guinea:
"Today's topic on depression really touched me. I am a
victim of a broken marriage, scared of remarrying and afraid
that I might not be able to bear children. I have sleepless
nights, am always worried, sad and downhearted. The feeling
of emptiness never leaves me. Even when I pray, it is always
there. I cannot trust anyone to share my pain. Please pray for
me. You may never know how many women you have brought hope
to through your programs. Thank you!" Let's stand firm
in God's Word, for "Great is His Faithfulness."
