At Orphan Outreach, our goal is to help each of our supporters respond to whatever it is God has called them to do. For some, that is serving as a prayer partner, and for others it’s participating on a mission trip. For Mrs. Pamela and Dr. Darold Opp, God invited them to sponsor 100 children around the globe.

Thank you for being a part of supporting what Orphan Outreach is doing all over the world. ????
One of our partners that we could like to highlight is Cada Niño in Guatemala. The Lord is moving in a powerful way in the lives of almost 200 students and families enrolled in the two community centers.
“We can see that the years spent building relationships, developing programs to meet the needs of those
we serve, and training our team was part of God’s plan to move forward in this country. God has been moving and we are thankful to be a part of the work He is doing here.
Though the Covid-19 crisis continues to affect the lives of vulnerable populations, our team has risen to the occasion and adjusted our programs to meet the needs of the children, their families, and the community.”
Thank you for partnering with us! We are thankful for your constant prayers and support of our ministry.
What are the four essentials that we strive to provide to the children we serve?

May your weekend be full of joy!
One of the ways we are called to serve God is by serving others. Together we can restore hope for orphaned and vulnerable children around the world. Will you join us in making a difference in the life of a child today?
Because of sponsors like you, kids are finding HOPE. You get an opportunity to empower these kids and their communities through sponsorship.
Meet M****! When M**** was born, she was diagnosed with HIV. She currently lives with her parents, two older brothers, and a younger sister. Her family all currently have HIV. Even though at times it can be hard to live with HIV, they continue to find HOPE each day.
M****‘s parents work hard to provide for their family the best that they can each day. At times it can be hard to provide for a family of six especially with having HIV. Nonetheless, they work hard and do what they can. Her mother sells vegetables in town and her father works as a day laborer.
Currently, M**** is in good health! We praise the Lord for that and ask that you continue to pray for her and her family’s health! She loves singing and dancing. Her favorite color is red, and she loves playing with dogs! Like most kids, she enjoys playing with her toys and having fun!
Join us and be a part of making an eternal impact in the life of a child today! M**** would love for you to pray for her and her family. You could also be a part of sponsoring. Perhaps her sponsor is you!
Sponsorship is a great way to share the love of Christ with an orphaned and vulnerable child. In saying “yes” to sponsorship, you give hope and say “I believe in you”.

Ingrid, Fredy, and their family are grateful for all that Orphan Outreach and Orphan Outreach’s Partner Ministry Cada Niño has done for them and their family.
“I am thankful for your support and prayers. I have seen the life of my children changed and transformed because of all of you. Thank you for everything.” Ingrid & Fredy’s mom expressed this to us in an interview.
At Cada Nino, Ingrid is learning Microsoft Word and coding, while taking Bible classes, and receiving tutoring. Fredy is learning typing and coding while also taking Bible classes and receiving tutoring.

“Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest”. Matthew 11:28
Summer may almost be over, but in Latvia, our ministry partner Miera Osta is preparing for a new season of Baby School!
The goal for Miera Osta is to minister to the children by working with their parents or caregivers on a deeper level. The baby classes are a way for them to provide that care to the community. Miera Osta desires to see more physically, emotionally, and mentally healthy families in Karosta.
“Our desire is for parents who have managed to heal their past traumas to be able to connect with their children. We strongly believe that this connection and bond with parents can change the child’s future. We want to see the young mothers being able to connect with their babies and provide not only practical but also emotional care that would interrupt the vicious cycle of poverty, lack of education, and unemployment. For the older children in the program, we want to see their education goals reached. We want to see them finishing not only 9th grade but also 12th and thinking of further studies.” Dace Rence, Director of Program for Miera Osta
Would you join us in praying for the new season of Baby School in Latvia this year?
All over the world, our hearts break for everything that is happening. However, we continue to pray and have hope in the One who restores, heals, saves.
How can we be praying for you during this time?

With the support of Down Guatemala, Jose has improved his studies and is making great progress in school! He enjoys school and is very consistent with his therapies. His current favorite class is reading. ????

What a joy it was to see our kids celebrate the end of our “school year” at the Miera Osta Family Support Center after a long, challenging year due to the pandemic. We loved that they could finally be able to come together and enjoy the fellowship and wonderful weather. This moment was very special for us all to see as a staff. We rejoice and continue to pray for our kids, their families, staff, and partners on the field.

Meet Yana! She is a beautiful picture of perseverance!
She was born with cerebral palsy and her parents could not care for her. This led to Yana growing up in an orphanage among other children with special needs.
Despite her disability, she tried different kinds of sports and chose track: shot put, javelin throw and drive. She was dedicated and did not give up. As a result, she took silver and bronze in the Ukraine championships. Her goal is to take part in the Paralympics one day.
Yana studied sewing at a technical school but could not complete it due to her disability. However, she continued to persevere and learn a new skill. She obtained a part time job in embroidery. She also does beautiful bead paintings. She is a very talented young lady.
In spite of her difficulties, she is always friendly, grateful and cheerful. She always has a smile and never complains even while enduring difficult life circumstances. She trusts in the Lord and knows that His plans are always greater.
She is currently in the process of moving to a new city because she just got married! Yana would love for you to pray for her and her husband as they enter into a new season. They desire for Christ to use them and lead them both in their marriage.
Orphan care doesn’t end when orphans age out of care. Orphan Outreach helps to continue to provide Christ–centered therapeutic support for young adults with special needs as they navigate adulthood. You can provide the support and encouragement that Yana needs to thrive in her next journey. Become her sponsor and say, “I believe in you, and I am here for you.”

Everything in the world feels heavy. Praying can seem like the least amount we can do, however that is opposite from the truth. It is one of the best things we can do in times like these.
As we pray, let us reflect and remember where our HOPE comes from and what God has said in the scriptures.
“He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” – Revelation 21:4
