"My name is Tania Valle, and I am 46 years old. I came to Unshackled in March 2022, and this place has been a tremendous blessing in my life. I am deeply grateful to PJ Hope for being an instrument in God’s hands to transform my life.
God sent two angels, Darling Hurtado and Meyling Espinoza, to find me where I was. At that time, I was at the Oriental Market, selling my own body in a place where I felt women had no value. But God had a different plan for my life! Darling and Meyling told me about a place where women could learn different trades, such as sewing, baking, jewelry-making, and other valuable skills. They also explained that the Gospel was taught there to help women leave prostitution behind and discover a new way of life. But above all, they told me about God’s love for me.
Through Unshackled, I have learned so much and discovered abilities I never imagined I could develop. I have improved my skills in sewing, painting, cooking, and baking. I have also participated in adult literacy classes and learned math and English. Every lesson has helped me grow, not only in my abilities but also in my confidence and faith.
The devotionals and Bible teachings have been especially meaningful to me. There is one Bible verse I will never forget: 2 Corinthians 5:17, which reminds us that anyone who belongs to Christ is a new creation; the old life is gone, and a new life has begun. Since coming to know Christ, I have become a new person. God has restored my sense of worth, given me a new opportunity, and shown me that my life has a purpose.
I believe He has plans for me in ministry, and I am excited to see what He will continue to do through my life. Today, I am living with renewed hope, faith, and gratitude. I thank God for His unfailing love and for PJ Hope and the Unshackled Women’s Ministry, which have been such important parts of my transformation.
I am a new creation in Christ, and my life is proof that God can restore, transform, and give us a new beginning. All the glory belongs to Him!"

HAITI
Since 2018, Radio Project Hope has operated a Christian radio station in Pignon, reaching over 200,000 listeners across five departments of the country. Working with Radio Lumière, our station aims to inform, train, and evangelize through 17 weekly broadcasts led by 11 pastors. Our ministry continues to make an impact: from September to October 2026, 3 people accepted Christ, 5 people were restored, and we prayed for 25 callers who asked for prayers. Also, a team visited in October to lead daily morning devotions, and many listeners called in to tell us how blessed they were by the messages and testimonies. To keep our station running well, we are seeking support for key ministry needs, including replacing our equipment table and our 2018 mixer (which only holds two microphones) for better quality, get a retransmission tower for when we go out for our radio station, and get a cable to connect the internet to our station.
INTERNATIONAL FELLOWSHIP
"One day while on campus with Lily, my three month old, I neglected to check the weather and found myself caught in a downpour! As I waited for the rain to let up, I unexpectedly ran into an Ivorian student I had met a couple of semesters earlier. It was wonderful to reconnect!
The following week, we met for lunch at a West African restaurant, where I learned some encouraging news: he had begun attending a church near his home. When we first met about a year ago, he wasn’t regularly attending a church, so hearing about this step was a real encouragement.
Since then, I’ve had the opportunity to meet with him a few more times. He seems eager to find community and is actively seeking guidance. I’m thankful to God for this renewed connection and for the opportunity to build a bridge between International Fellowship and the ministry I was involved in overseas. It’s exciting to see how God can use even an unexpected rainy day to bring people back into one another’s lives."

This year, we invite you to partner with our ministry in a special way! Stay tuned in the coming weeks for our upcoming ministry focus, and prepare your heart to join us in making a life changing impact.
