Portion for Orphans Newsletter

October 9, 2007

The children we serve are those who are alone in the world, those who can only imagine having a mom or dad to take care of them. Thank you for partnering with us. You have enabled us, as a team, to meet real needs of real orphans around the world. See below what has been accomplished. ; )

Hope Run 08 Coming!!! January 5, 2008 at 9:00 am Downtown Marshall, Texas [Learn more or Register] START TRAINING!!! $15 registration, 100% of which goes to orphans around the world. Let me know if you'd like to sponsor the event or help organize, promote, or volunteer.

Hope Run 07 helped raise and donate:

$2,500 to China Care:

It paid the rent from June 07 through March 08 on the apartment you see in the picture below. I have personally visited this place which is home to more than 15 infant orphans in China. Gui Lu, whose cleft pallet surgery we covered, lives there. It was also used to purchase a large load of infant formula.

$10,000 to New Life Kilimani Orphanage in Nairobi, Kenya.

This is the second time we've been able to make a donation of this amount. $2,500 of that is benefiting the Christian pre-school program for the older children. $7,500 has been given for the overall needs of the young orphans in their care which includes food, medicine, and constant loving arms to hold and nurture them. You can see one of these children in the picture on the right.

Having met these children and their caregivers, I'm doing what I can, speaking on their behalf, calling everyone I know to join together in what the Bible calls, 'Pure and undefiled religion before God...'

Thanks to all of you who partner with us. I hope it is a blessing to you.
