Annual Report 2026 Part 2 - Children's Character Development and Wellbeing

The children performing songs in their Sunday best at a church called BNKP Ulubo'uso.

The faith statements of Harapan Hari Esok Community has always been to confess Jesus Christ as Lord and acknowledge the Holy Scriptures as the norm for faith and life. Our main objectives are:

1. To proclaim the Gospel to all people in the nation of Singapore.

2. To participate in world wide mission.

3. To gather into fellowship those believers who respond in faith to the call of the Gospel.

As our children grow spiritually and gain the intellectual means to survive through education, we also monitor their growth socially to improve their emotional quotient simultaneously. Having come from impoverished backgrounds, the children are stunted in how they regulate their emotions. Hence they require prayer in emotional maturity as much as in their academics.

Here is the individualised breakdown for each child's character development you may pray over (names are modified to protect their identity):
