She is 10 years old and lives in Guatemala.
The college students’ conversation over a celebratory dinner at a special restaurant in Russia sounds strikingly similar to those of students in any US city or town. Because of COVID’s impact, learning was shifted from classrooms to computers. Entrance exams and campus visits transitioned to virtual experiences.

“STEM is such an important part of a well rounded education. At Cadaniño we strive to give our students the opportunity to develop those skills though educational programs, tools and games,” shares Timothy Martiny, program founder. We’re honored to partner with CadaNiño in Guatemala!
Physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual care.
We focus on the four essentials every child needs to thrive. Your prayers and support sustain us. Together, we restore hope for orphaned and vulnerable children.
Your sponsorship is a perfect investment in the life of this future economist.
Pema is in his third year of university study, and plans to receive his Masters in Economics. When he is at home at Dar-Ul-Fazl, you’ll often find him mentoring and offering encouragement. And whenever possible, Pema will be showing off his incredible prowess in volleyball.
Having a thoughtful conversation over a cup of coffee or chai is a great way to spend an afternoon. Add momos to that moment and you’ve got one of Pema’s favorite meals. His favorite scriptures are Philippians 4:13, Psalm 73:26 and Psalm 139.

Lord, You know the hopes of the helpless. Surely You will hear their cries and comfort them. You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so mere people can no longer terrify them. (Psalm 10:18)
From heartbreak, hope rises. The newest member of the Orphan Outreach family in Kenya is the Narok Community Outreach program. Born in the midst of the pandemic, the ministry program is now providing holistic care to children and their families. We thank the listeners of JoyFM radio in Missouri for their Gospel-centered generosity in providing food for the Maasai community.
You can join us in helping to restore hope to orphaned and vulnerable children. We’ve got five ways you can get involved right now. Visit our website for more information! The link’s in our bio.
Navigating life can be challenging, even for those of us who have a strong community of family and friends. For young adults aging out of orphan care, the unknowns can feel overwhelming. We are thankful for the commitment and care provided through our aging out initiatives in Eastern Europe and Latin America. You can become part of this powerful community through sponsorship!

For so many of our supporters, visiting sponsor children and coming alongside our ministry partners in the countries we serve is a joyful part of investment in the lives of the orphaned and vulnerable. You’ve asked when those opportunities might happen again.
As the global state of COVID-19 continues to evolve, we are evaluating how and when we may reengage mission teams to again travel to each country where Orphan Outreach operates.
We’ve got regular updates for you on travel, as well as what’s happening in every country we serve, on our Responding to COVID page. We encourage you to bookmark the page and check in often. The link’s in our bio.
Pastor Diego was a man of faith, passion and action. He was a dedicated pastor and church planter in the Lake Atitlan region of Guatemala, and he was a tireless advocate for the orphaned and vulnerable.
To our Orphan Outreach family, he will always be remembered as a mentor and friend who greeted everyone with a big smile and encouraging word, a man who dreamed bold dreams with us and believed that every child deserves love, dignity, and care in the name of Jesus Christ. Please pray for his wife Mary, daughters Susan and Genesis, the teachers and families of Good Shepherd Academy and Baptist Church, our ANIFU staff and translators in Guatemala, and our US-based team. We all grieve and yet with hope.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.” Psalm 91:2
Many of you have asked how you may provide care for Pastor Diego’s family. We have set up a special fund in his honor. On our giving page, mark your donation as a tribute to Pastor Diego and comment “Pastor Diego Fund.” You may also write a note to his family and we will ensure it is sent to them.
The giving link is in our profile.

The college students’ conversation over a celebratory dinner at a special restaurant in Russia sounds strikingly similar to those of students in any US city or town. Because of COVID’s impact, learning was shifted from classrooms to computers. Entrance exams and campus visits transitioned to virtual experiences.
For Andrey and Sveta in St. Petersburg, the conversation also includes the reality of being a young adult navigating life without a traditional family to provide support and encouragement. Instead, Orphan Outreach staff has become their safety net, providing mentoring and wisdom, ensuring the students receive medical, dental, and legal care, and always being a listening ear and partner in prayer.
Read the story filled with dreams and plans! It’s on our website now! The link’s in our bio! And thank you to every sponsor and supporter who makes those dreams a reality for our young adults!
The mission of Orphan Outreach is to glorify Jesus Christ by having a significant, long-term impact on orphaned and vulnerable children, equipping each child for a fulfilling, independent Christian life in their community.
Join us. Together, we restore hope.
What does it take to provide a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn, grow, and dream? The work behind-the-scenes is filled with research, study, and deep-dive understanding of the real needs of those children, the families, and the community.
That’s why photos like this one from NiCo in Honduras are as precious to us as the photos of smiling students. Today, would you join us in praying for the teachers, administrators, counselors and social workers, and our Orphan Outreach family around the world charged with equipping them with the resources and support they need?
When we gather for CAFO2021 in September, Lord willing, we will experience WITH face-to-face.
God with us.
Us with one another.
God’s people with those in need.
Following a year defined by separation and distance — we find ourselves longing for this togetherness.
Lauding the God who is with His people. Taking joy in being with one another again. Giving, receiving and learning how to most fully be with the hurting in ways that effectively heal and wisely restore.
That will be a precious WITH indeed.
Join us as we gather in Cincinnati, Ohio, September 15-17, for CAFO2021. Our Orphan Outreach family will be there, teaching workshops, leading deep-dive conversations about how we can all make a difference, and celebrating our time with YOU.

Sponsorship is like family—and he is so ready for a family!
We share often how complex the orphan crisis is. And for M*****, that complexity has meant moving from orphanages to foster care to guardians and back again—for years. It has taken a toll on his confidence and well-being. And he still remains hopeful that there is a forever family for him. Our Orphan Outreach family in Latvia is doing all they can to find a loving therapeutic foster care or adoptive family for M*****. And they would love to find a sponsor for him as well—someone to offer encouragement and to make sure he has the essentials of care he needs.
M***** loves ice hockey and has been on the local team in his community. He is in trade school, and hopes one day to be a chef’s assistant. Being outside makes him smile. He’s a friendly kid who enjoys making friends with both his peers and adults.
Right now, pray for M*****, that he would stay faithful to his studies, and that a forever family would be found for him. And pray too to say “yes” to sponsorship. Your support would mean so much right now.
The ongoing community care continues in Mathare Slum for children and families. Patmos School’s water well remains a fountain of hope—a precious gift in the Kenyan community.
Your prayer and support has made the difference for thousands of families around the world. Together, we can—and will—restore hope.

Good Shepherd Academy just celebrated 12 years of providing care, education, and hope to the children of Santiago and the Lake Atitlan region! What began as a response to crisis when a tropical storm destroyed homes and communities has become an outpost of Christ-centered hope to children and their families.
Are you following ANIFU in Guatemala? There is so much to celebrate! Their link is in our bio!
These are your Madeleine School 8th grade graduates. Even in the midst of school closures due to COVID, your support ensured our Orphan Outreach family in Kenya received holistic care—meals, clean drinking water, learning materials, medical care, and the hope of the Gospel.
Kenya requires all 8th grade students pass a national exam in order to be considered for high school admission. Twenty-seven students from Madeleine School are now ready for the next step in their academic journey! Glory to God and congratulations to every student!
PARTNER WITH US, and help restore hope through the power of prayer!

Dance party? YES, please!
Zumba. Pizza. Dancing with friends. And Jesus.
Seriously, those are ingredients for the perfect party! And they are Ashley’s favorite things. She lives with both parents and her older siblings, and at Down Guatemala, she’s a great student (both numbers and letters are her favorite). She’s learning to be helpful at home, and if you ask, she’ll choose juice over milk any day. Her favorite dance song is ‘La Bailadita’. Ashley loves talking to Jesus about her classmates, teachers and family (what a reminder to us all to do the same).
We bet that, if you were her sponsor, she’d talk to Jesus about you too. And her prayers would be powerful! She’d love to have you as a sponsor, and right now you can say “yes!“
Get to know her and become Ashley’s sponsor today! Her link’s in our bio.
Congratulations again to Connie Yates, our 2021 Children’s Hope Award recipient!
Connie Yates has built her life around giving
back to her community – a value instilled at a
young age by her parents. In fact, Connie’s first
memory of a charitable organization was the
March of Dimes, where students collected dimes
from family and friends to fill a 4×6 card that had
slots for dimes. It was such an accomplishment
to fill that $2.00 card with twenty dimes!
As the Director of Public Affairs for Tom Thumb/Randall’s, Connie has been the consummate “Good Neighbor.” Her efforts have raised awareness for charities across Texas, and millions of dollars have been raised to benefit the orphaned and vulnerable.
Congratulations again to Dandi Mehringer, recipient of the Paula Hayes Service Award at the Children’s Hope Dinner!
The Paula Hayes Service Award honors an individual for their faithful service to children, heart for missions and love for the Lord. Dandi represents that heart to want to make a difference in other’s lives. She was the business manager and teacher at The Learning Tree for 30 years, pouring her life into thousands of children.
Dandi is so greatly loved by the families of The Learning Tree that those families raised $15,000 in her honor for the children served by Orphan Outreach.
Judy Allen, Dandi’s mother, received this award in 2018. Allen founded The Learning Tree School in 1968 in historic East Dallas.
The Learning Tree School believes children learn and grow in a creative, hands-on and nurturing environment that engages their curiosity of our world. The school is now closed, but its legacy lives on in the lives of the generations who were taught there.
There’s still time to make a difference!
