Dear Orphan Supporters,

Greetings to you during this wonderful time of year when we have been privileged to have Sea Breeze Camp

Meeting once again. The mission services are very much looked forward to because of the opportunity to hear

the many ways God is working around the world. One of those areas is HIM’s Orphan Ministry. I personally

was not able to attend the camp this year, but what a blessing the live streaming is of the ser-

vices. If you did not attend, I encourage you to watch the services on the archives; and espe-

cially all of the missions day services (www.hobesoundbiblechurch.com). I know your heart

will be inspired to pray more earnestly for all of these mission endeavors. Your continued

prayer and financial faithfulness is greatly appreciated!

News from Sally Sebo In Romania Towards the end of December, I fell and sustained an unstable fracture of my right foot which required

surgery. After the operation, for an extended period of time, it was necessary for me to pretty much sit still

with my foot elevated. What does this have to do with the orphans? Well, during my recovery time, the chil-

dren from the House of Hope were so eager to do whatever needed to be done to make things easier for me.

They showed their love and appreciation by helping to cook meals, wash dishes, sweep and mop, and even

washed my hair. They basically did whatever they could to help care for me. Please know that your support

for this ministry is not in vain. God is helping these children to grow to be loving, caring

individuals who are reciprocating the love and care they have

received for the past

eleven years. Thank

you for all that you

have done and con-

tinue to do to help

this ministry go for-

ward!

This was our January 4th Christmas photo when we had a birthday party for Jesus at the orphanage, right be-

fore Russian Christmas on January 7th. After sharing the Christmas

story with flannel graph, we sang

a beautiful Russian children’s

Christmas carol, Bright Star.

Then we sang Snom Rozhdeniya

Tebya, Eesusu (translated Happy

Birthday to You, Jesus). Another

special event was on January

12th when Natasha, who grew up

in this State orphanage, was bap-

tized, celebrating her “2nd birth.”

Please help us pray that many

more of these children will

choose to follow Jesus in this

way.

News from the Motovilovs in Russia We want to say thank you for caring about the orphans here in Russia. We appreciate people who have given to

make it possible for us to present

the orphans at the eye school with

something special for Christmas.

For several weeks most of the chil-

dren who board at the school go

home to be with their families or

friends for the holidays. There

were 13 orphan children who did

not have anywhere to go and re-

mained at the school. Many of

them feel sad and lonely especially

during the holidays. Thank you for

helping us to share the Christmas

story with them and bring them

some Christmas cheer. Please keep

praying for us and them.

News from Liz Flowers in Haiti We now have a new orphanage kitchen! Thanks to the hard work of Frank Vaughn and his team, our orphan-age now has a newly renovated kitchen. You can see the huge improvement from the pictures. A big thank you to everyone who gave for this project! This is a much nicer area for Madame Dominique to cook in when we have visiting teams. I am looking forward to cooking in it some myself. Due to medical issues with two of our children, we were unable to return to Haiti in January like we had planned. God has helped and touched,

and our plans are to return to Haiti in March. We are excited to get back! Visit our blog for more de-tails:

News from Glenn Gault in Africa For several years now, the Government of Lesotho has been providing free primary education for all children through

seventh grade. Perhaps you can imagine how disappointed these three orphans were when they found out they wouldn't be able to go on to eighth grade for a lack of finances. They have no marketable job skills and were destined to a life of abject poverty. All that has changed be-cause of your sacrificial giving to the Lesotho Orphan fund. We have ac-cepted these three girls and seven others into HIM's Orphan and Vul-nerable Children Program to pay their way through high school. Our vision for the orphans of Lesotho is that they will grow up in a loving church family where they will at least get a high school education and learn skills that will allow them to take care of themselves. Bokang is a product of this vision. Through your assis-tance, he graduated from high school, and in January he was accepted at a trade school to study engineering. Thank you for making a difference!
