Odessa, Ukraine
In my recent trip to Ukraine/Russia I had the privilege of
visit-
ing with and speaking to many of the Pastors in the Odessa
region.
Pastor Denis (seated immediately to my right) is the Pastor of
the
great church called “Central Church” in Odessa, Ukraine. His
father, Pastor Peter, not pictured, was the pioneer of the
Central
Church during the old communist days.
Pastor Denis and the other Pastors are very open to our
ministry
to orphans and widows and we are blessed to have them as our
friends. We work closely with them whenever possible.
Orphanage in Odessa Region
This is just one of many orphanages in the Odessa Region.
Viktoria and her team from the Central Church minister to
thou-
sands of orphans and elderly. They go, cut their hair, teach
them
about Jesus, teach them how to be Godly boys and girls and
teens.
They love on them daily as our outreach in Ukraine continues
to
grow. So many children just in this area, only God knows
them
all.
Perm, Russia
In the years of Communism Perm, Russia played a key role.
It was a closed city. That means that if you lived there you
could not leave and if you didn’t live there you could not
visit.
It was a city that made arms and ammunition as well as
trained
military men for war. But if you were a Russian during those
terrible days of communism
Perm had the reputation of
what we called in the West-
ern World “The Salt Mines of
Siberia.”
Stalin was guilty of mur-
dering many millions of his
own people and in the Perm
Region the death toll was
over 12 million people.
Many were sent to the salt
mines and starved or worked
to death.
The picture on your right
is a picture of a building that
is right in the heart of the city
of Perm. It is called by the
local people “The Tower of
Death.” This is where many
of those sentenced to the death camps would come to be proc-
essed and before they could even get to the salt mines they
were murdered right here. Many Christians lost their lives
be-
cause communism would not tolerate those who served any
other God than communism.
At one time there were over 100 prison camps in the Perm
Region and slave labor was quite common. I have been to
many of these prisons and I have visited some of the
historical
sites where the salt mines are located and the devastation
of
what communism did to these people is still very real even
today.
Why is it that so few people speak of the evil that exists
in
our world today? Why is there only a nominal voice speaking
against sin? Our churches are not speaking about absolutes
such as heaven and hell, good verses evil, God verses Satan.
We are so busy trying to please everyone that we have
forgot-
ten the only one we need to please is God. Love God and love
our neighbor as we love ourselves is the only commandment
that Jesus gave all of us to do.
Evil is very real. We see it all the time in many of the or-
phanages and elderly homes we visit. God is also very real
and
truly He will overcome the evil in this world. If God be for
us
who can be against us?

Real People You Help By Praying
& Supporting NHOM
This is usually my favorite page to
present to you. It shows the many
faces of just a small portion of the
people that are assisted by your
prayers and support. Over the
years hundreds of thousands have
been ministered to because you
have caught the vision with us.
Please help us to continue to help
the helpless.
Proverbs 31:8-9
“Speak up for those who cannot
speak for themselves; ensure jus-
tice for those being crushed. Yes,
speak up for the poor and helpless,
and see that they get justice.”
Please Help us to continue helping
the widows and orphans that God
leads us to.

Sri Lanka
The war is ebbing and we
would really like to complete our
widow center that is located on
our property in Sri Lanka. We
need approximately $10,000 for
the complete project.
Now is the time for us to move
on this project. If we don’t do
something soon the Hindu’s and
Muslims will take over with all
there mysticism and pageantry
and hatred towards Christians.
Folks this is a new war not
against flesh and blood but
against the evil rulers and au-
thorities of the unseen world,
against those mighty powers of
darkness who rule this world;
against wicked spirits in the heav-
enly realms. (Ephesians 6:12
NLT)
We need you to intercede for
this project in ways maybe you
haven’t in the past. Give if you
can but pray for victory.
Ethiopia
We see scenes just like this in every nation we work.
Homeless
children, living and sleeping on the streets, begging, stealing,
and
doing whatever it takes just to survive. We at NHOM believe
we
can, with God’s help, make a difference in many of their lives.
Pov-
erty should never be an excuse for sin. We need to work hard to
help
these. AIDS is a major problem with adults and youth. Rape
and
mutilation of little girls and teens is also very prevalent. Can
you
help? Yes, you can! Pray and support this work as we tear down
the
powers of darkness with God’s help.
India
We have been given a piece of
property with buildings on it but
we are in desperate need for a
water purifying system. We can-
not drink the water. Is there
someone out there that can donate
$1,000 to bring fresh water to our
orphanage.
The children are in need of
Christian reading materials and
teaching supplies as well.
Ekaterinberg, Russia
Igor and Olga have developed
into quite a good team. They con-
tinue to develop their skills in
ministering to the widows and
orphans in their areas of ministry.
Volunteers are necessary for the
work we do and Igor trains them
well for the work. Igor and Olga
use skits, puppets, video, audio,
teaching and preaching skills and
whatever else to bring souls to the
Kingdom of God. Pray for the
work they are involved with.
Standing on the bank of the Nile River in northern Ethiopia are
the
latest addition to the NHOM team. We have begun a widow and
orphan center in this part of the world. On the far right in
white
shirt is our friend Pastor Ambelie Negash whose vision and help
to
establish this work has been a big blessing. All the children
pictured
are orphans and part of NHOM’s family, your neighbors.
Perm, Russia
Natasha and Olga are do-
ing a powerful work in Perm.
Visiting orphanages, elderly
centers, children’s prisons,
drug rehab centers and tuber-
culosis hospitals for kids are
daily routines for these faith-
ful women. They are loved at
every orphanage by the chil-
dren and staff. They are de-
serving of our praise and
prayer support.
Odessa, Ukraine
Viktoria is a great blessing
to NHOM and the work that
is being done. She and her
team of volunteers visit thou-
sands of orphans to make
their lives a little more toler-
able in the orphanages. She
is faithful and diligent in her
work. She trains volunteers
and has a heart bigger than
anyone I know. She truly
loves her work, the orphans
and widows and her God.

Great Joy—Great Heart-
ache
These are just some of
the emotions we feel as we
visit the widows and or-
phans and see the plight
they must face on a daily
basis. However, there is
very little that can prepare
any of us at NHOM for
what we see and experience at the handicapped orphanages and
elderly homes
we visit. There are never enough wheelchairs, walkers, workers,
supplies or
finances to help these that are so helpless. All of the pictures
on this page are
of those handicapped we work with but by no means does it
reflect the num-
bers of kids and handicapped orphanages we help regularly. We
visit them and
do what we can to love them. We hold them, pray for them, laugh
with them,
cry with them and then we cry some more when we leave them.
Come, go
with us, help us, pray for us, provide for us to continue to
reach out to these
that even family have deserted. Without you we can’t go!

Prayer Requests 1. Pray for the safety of our workers in Sri
Lanka.
Civil war and terrorists has devastated the area around Jaffna.
People continue to flee the north
country. Our workers have had to dodge bullets and
bombs to get their jobs done. They desperately need us to
intercede for them.
2. Pray for funds for the work that is taking place in
building a new church, Bible school and center in Sri Lanka for
widows and their children.
3. Pray that God would grant traveling mercies for
all of our teams as they encounter some of the vilest of road
and trail conditions.
4. As prices continue to escalate at home and over-seas pray
that God would continue to provide for
essentials in the need of our teams, orphanages and
the NHOM ministry.
5. Pray that God would continue to give our teams
in Russia & Ukraine favor with the orphanages,
widows and elderly homes. 6. Pray for our teams in America,
Russia, Ukraine,
Sri Lanka, Ethiopia, and India and the hundreds of
volunteers in these areas that help in this ministry. They are
daily on the front lines of Spiritual warfare.
They work tirelessly in some of the most extreme
conditions with some of the most unlovely people and they do it
with great joy.
7. Pray that God would raise up a leader to assist the
Shane’s in NHOM’s development and future growth. 8. Pray for
$100,000 to build a building for our An-
gel’s of Hope children’s home in India.
9. Pray for Pastor Basil and his family that they might find a
country where they can worship the
Lord in peace and freedom.
10. Pray for our nation that we would return to the Lord with
great repentance and for the revival that
needs to take place.
