She is 8 years old and lives in Honduras.
2020 is in the rearview. I think we are all still trying to make sense of it all. The COVID pandemic and the loss of life, racial tensions, a challenging election season, the struggling economy, and on and on.
I spent the first half of the year studying the early church, which faced similar crises, to see how they... continue
The Lord defends the rights of the orphans and widows. He cares for foreigners and gives them food and clothing. Deuteronomy 10:18
We’re still celebrating all that was provided to the children and families in every country we serve because of YOUR SUPPORT! You helped make Christmas brighter in 2020 with every gift you gave!
Together, we’ll continue to restore hope in 2021. Thank you for serving the orphaned and vulnerable with such great compassion and care!
Who loves pizza? WE DO!
This kid. What a kind and tender young man Jonathan is! He loves the education and encouragement he receives at @downguatemala, and he’s thankful to continue to see his teachers and therapists online right now! They provide him with the care he needs!
Jonathan lives with his dad and siblings, and because of the lifeskills training he’s received at school, he love to help his dad around the house. At school, his favorite class is physiotherapy. He definitely wants to have a job someday and work toward independence. Right now, he wants to be a good friend and share some pizza!
If you’re a pizza-loving friend, it’s time for you to be Jonathan’s sponsor! You’ll ensure he receives the essentials of care he needs, and you’ll provide him the encouragement he needs too!
Meet Jonathan and sign up now!
When classrooms were closed due to COVID-19, students at both Patmos School and ACK Madeleine received loving care. Food, clean water, learning kits, and prayer strengthened the children and their families.
Now school bells are ringing again—and the commitment to care continues.
Providing holistic care, preserving families, preparing young adults for independence, and protecting the rights of children.
When you give to Orphan Outreach, you join us in restoring hope to the orphaned and vulnerable. Thank you for your generosity and support!
Our priorities are clear.
Provide holistic care.
Promote family.
Prepare for independence.
Protect the rights of children.
Together, we restore hope.
Our mission is simple: we glorify Jesus Christ by having a significant, long-term impact on orphaned and vulnerable children. We equip each child for a fulfilling, independent Christian life in their community.
Make this your year to join us on our mission to restore hope! Learn more on our website – the link’s in our bio!
Having operated within the reality of COVID for several months now, our team is beginning to understand the terrain and we are better able to plan ahead for what that might mean in the future. Of course, our two most urgent needs continue to be providing food and adapting our educational programs, but we are challenging ourselves to consider, “What does it look like to go deeper?”
Our mission has never changed, and in 2021 our mission will continue to be the same. The question is, how can we get better at fulfilling that mission to within the context of this new normal. One thing is certain: we won’t be able to do it alone. Would you consider partnering with us in 2021? Will you help us restore hope to the ‘least of these’?
What does it mean to restore hope?
It means kids and families can eat.
It means young adults no longer feel alone as they navigate life.
It means families create safe spaces for a season or a lifetime.
It means the displaced and marginalized are given the care they deserve.
And it means every priority is covered in prayer. Our friends from JoyFM helped ensure families in Guatemala, Honduras, and Kenya each received notes of encouragement and blessing with their bags of life-saving food. We’re so thankful for their partnership on this journey!
Together, we can still restore hope and make 2021 a powerful life-changing year for orphaned and vulnerable children. Learn all the ways you can get involved right now by visiting our special Make a Difference section on the website. The link’s in our bio!
Hey there, little chef!
Yes, Erlan wants to be a chef when he grows up. right now, he loves to help his mom clean fruit and veggies, and he really loves to eat rice, beans, and eggs.
Erlan is in the Early Childhood Development program at NiCo. Though COVID has closed in-classroom learning, his teachers make sure he receives learning kits every week (along with providing meals to the family to make sure folks stay fed even when jobs are scarce).
Erlan would love to have a sponsor like you—someone who enjoys tasty food and maybe even the color blue. You’ll ensure he continues to receive the Christ-centered care he needs, and you’ll provide encouragement for him to stay in school so his future will be brighter.
Meet Erlan and say “yes” to sponsorship today! The link’s in our bio!

Simple gifts can restore hope in the biggest ways.
The gift of food, clean water, medicine, wrapped in encouragement and prayer and delivered to communities often ignored or forgotten.
That’s what your generosity has provided this past year. More than 1 million meals have been distributed.
And together in 2021, we’re going to continue to provide holistic care, promote family, prepare orphaned and vulnerable children for independence and protect the rights of children.
Thank you for being on this journey with us. Yes, together we can—and will—restore hope.
Happy New Year, everyone!
This past year, you’ve joined us on the journey of restoring hope for orphaned and vulnerable kids and their families. We thought you might like to see what that hope means! All week, we’re sharing thankful messages—from our global Orphan Outreach family to yours.
Thank you for your support in 2020. Here’s to restoring hope in 2021 – together!
2020 is in the rearview. I think we are all still trying to make sense of it all. The COVID pandemic and the loss of life, racial tensions, a challenging election season, the struggling economy, and on and on.
I spent the first half of the year studying the early church, which faced similar crises, to see how they responded. In light of a global famine and intense persecution, they showed a passionate commitment to the poor, sick, and least of these. They understood the truth that God has made know to us at Orphan Outreach this year—God is fully vested, deeply and personally, in the plight of orphaned and vulnerable children—and in all who are destitute and defenseless (Dt 10:18; Ps 10:14; Ps 68:5-6, Is 58:5-12). God calls His people to reflect His special love for these children in both word and deed.
I’ve been amazed to witness all of our ministry to the least of these not only continue despite the pandemic, but expand to include more children and more families. Our global Orphan Outreach family has gone above and beyond. Our partners and donors have given sacrificially.
And God has provided more than enough.
So, as I look forward to 2021, I’ve switched my focus to the book of Isaiah. The people of Israel were in the midst of calamity, but God was calling them to look to the future. Take a minute before the end of the Year to read Isaiah chapter 40.
“Here is Your God”
“See the Sovereign Lord comes with power”
“He tends his flock like a shepherd”
“Who has measured the waters in the hollow if his hand”
“Lift up your eyes and look to heavens: Who created all of these”
“The Lord is the everlasting God.”
As we go into 2021, here is the promise I’m praying we all hold on to – “God gives strength to the weary…. Those who hope in the Lord will have their strength renewed.”
The best is yet to come because God is still in control.

She loves to sing and dance. And she dreams of doing both.
Ayusma is the oldest of two children living with both of her parents who are day laborers. At the Godawari Education Centre, she receives tutoring and support in her school classes, and always a nutritious snack. She can’t wait to return, and is thankful that, in this season, the community program is providing her family with essentials like food.
Even now, your sponsorship is vital to Ayusma’s success. You ensure she continues to receive the essentials of care needed to thrive as well as all the educational resources she needs when school reopens.

“How may we help others?” Talk to the staff at Dar-Ul-Fazl in India, and you’ll hear thanks and praise to the Lord for His provision and His protection in 2020. So when the children asked what they might be able to do to serve the vulnerable, the response was “Let’s learn to stitch.” Face masks were made for others in the community, and the kids also gathered up their coins to make a donation to a local hospital in need of PPE for their doctors and nurses.
On the other side of the country, the staff of Gan Sabra worked with the local government to ensure the most vulnerable families living with HIV receive essential medicines and food, even in the midst of the country’s lockdown due to COVID.
In Guatemala, the students at CadaNiño are also serving their community, delivering bags of food and offering prayer to the most vulnerable who live in neighborhoods often forgotten.
And in Guatemala and Honduras, collaborative partnerships with national government agencies have allowed our global family to be expanded through humanitarian aid during the COVID crisis. Food and supplies have been delivered to prisons, homes for single moms and children with special needs, and families made homeless by the pandemic.
The year may be almost over but the ministry continues, and the need is greater than ever. You can join us in providing the care kids and families need. And right now, your donation is doubled. More help in more ways—because of your generosity.
Together, we serve. Together, we restore hope.

We focus on the four essentials every child needs to thrive.
Physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual care.
This is our mission. This is at the heart of all we do.
Join us. Together, we restore hope for orphaned and vulnerable children and families in Latin America, Eastern Europe, Africa, and Asia.
This year has been unique for the whole world by any measurement as we all share the challenges of the pandemic. I’m reminded of what happened more than two thousand years ago, when a child was born in perilous times. A foreign power occupied Israel. An expecting mom had to travel with her husband over a dangerous desert to comply with a census only to find out that all the rooms in the hotels were full, and they had to instead found shelter in a cave-dwelling, with cows keeping watch as they had their son and tucked him into a bed of manger hay. In the midst of all of those challenges, our Savior was born. God entrusted Joseph and Mary to care for this precious child, the Messiah who would live His short life in dangerous times and be crucified for us on the cross so we may live in the light of His resurrection.
Our ministry continues in a world in which there is still much peril and suffering. In much the same way, as the Father entrusted Joseph and Mary with the life of Jesus, so He has entrusted the Church to be light in the midst of a fallen world. The Church has continued through war, famine, disease, persecution, and all sorts of evil, providing the light of the gospel. Once this pandemic is a note in history, there will be future challenges we will have to face, but the Gospel always remains the same—the light never changes, our mission to spread the good news of the Gospel and to and reflect that light wherever we journey.
At Orphan Outreach, we feel the Lord created this ministry to be a light in the darkness and care for the children He has entrusted to us to provide hope. All of you, who have made our ministry possible, are part of that mission, and we are so thankful that we have the blessing to serve with you all.
Thank you for walking with us and giving us your time, treasure, and prayers to provide hope to thousands of children who had lost hope but now are found and know they are loved and valuable in His sight. I wish you and your family a wonderful Christmas celebrating the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. God bless!
Mike Douris
Orphan Outreach President
Hope of all hopes, dream of our dreams,
a child is born, sweet-breathed; a son is given to us: a living gift.
And even now, with tiny features and dewy hair, He is great.
The power of leadership, and the weight of authority, will rest on His shoulders.
His name? His name we’ll know in many ways—
He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Dear Father everlasting, ever-present never-failing,
Master of Wholeness, Prince of Peace. (Isaiah 9:6)
Happy Christmas from all of us at Orphan Outreach.
Merry Christmas from our Orphan Outreach family around the world.
This future engineer would love your encouragement!
Benard is in high school in Kenya—an honor and achievement in a country that requires all students to pass a national 8th grade exam to be qualified to continue their education. He excelled.
Benard loves academics, and can’t wait to return to his studies. He wants to become a mechanical engineer someday so he can improve the engineering sector in his village and inspire students to continue their studies.
Benard’s favorite passage is Ephesians 6:1-3.
Now to you, children, obey your parents in the Lord because this is right in God’s eyes. This is the first commandment onto which He added a promise: “Honor your father and your mother, and if you do, you will live long and well in this land.”
He would love to have a sponsor to provide encouragement and pray for him as he continues to pursue his dreams. What a great Christmas gift it would be to him for that sponsor to be YOU! The link’s in our bio!
You might call them water wells. But right now, they’re saving lives.
Thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, wells were dug last year, to provide clean, safe drinking water for the students and staff at both Patmos School and ACK Madeleine School in Kenya. This year, they have become a lifeline for communities in need. And that’s not all. The students and families receive meals, learning kits, and prayer. The teachers continue to serve tirelessly.
Right now, you can ensure children have the supplies and staff willing to do whatever it takes to provide the essentials of care those children need to thrive—physical, emotional, educational and spiritual support.
And right now, your gift is doubled, up to $300,000, thanks to the kindness of our generous donors. That’s right, your donation now provides even more critical aid to those we serve and funds our ongoing work with orphaned and vulnerable children around the world.
Give now.
Right now, when you give to support the ministry work of Orphan Outreach, your gift is DOUBLED.

Future entrepreneur? You better believe it!
Carla lives with her mom and dad in a community in Guatemala City that many say doesn’t offer much hope. But Carla knows better. Because of the care and education she receives at CadaNiño, she sees opportunity rising all around her. Even though schools are closed, her CadaNiño teachers still meet with her to tutor, mentor, and pray. She’s learning computer programming and PowerPoint, and she adores her Bible classes.
Carla’s favorite story in the Bible is of David and Goliath, and we can see why! She is unafraid of challenges, and knows God’s power is greater.
She would love to have a sponsor to encourage her as she continues her studies and considers exactly what type of business she might want to own someday. What a great Christmas gift it would be to say “yes” to sponsorship! Get to know her and sign up now!
