House of Hope
In Addis Ababa children roam the streets asking for coins for bread. Most of these children are orphans, or suffer from extreme poverty. Today we have the House of Hope, where orphans from the street are being given love and support, in an environment where Jesus' Kingdom values and teachings can thrive in their lives.
While we have been rescuing children since the beginning of this work, we never dreamed that the LORD would entrust us with so many unwanted and at risk kids! Because of the CIVIL WAR, there is a growing need to care for AT RISK children, all under 18 years, in the areas where we work. Recently, we opened our doors wider than ever before, receiving many new boys and girls into our HOUSE OF HOPE in Adwa, Ethiopia! Because we also share the Gospel, many open their hearts to Jesus. The picture below are new believers.
We can’t do this alone! We are seeking sponsors who would be willing to pray for a child and support them with a gift of $25 (half sponsorship) or $50 (full sponsorship) a month. Our kids love Jesus and are becoming future leaders of the Horn of Africa. Most have no specific sponsor, praying for and in contact with them individually.
Every child is cared for physically, emotionally, and spiritually by our professional and Christ-centered staff. Each child is assigned a surrogate “parent” in the community, who gets them to their local school and provides a home. Once a month, our children “bless” these adults with 50 kilos of flour and a liter of oil! Several times a year we provide them with new school supplies and a wardrobe (including athletic shoes) they can wear in their local school. All the funds you send us are being used to provide clothing, food, and study materials. Nothing you donate to the child is used for staff or office expenses, which are covered by other donors.
You can email our Sponsor Coordinator, Nora (Poki) Carr (childrenstrumpet@outlook.com), or use our website to pick your child. Poki also relays your letters to each child and their replies to you.
Pray for these children, full of painful experiences, yet now destined to become powerful influences in their country.
Please consider sponsoring a child

House of Hope Updates
On Tuesday (12.31.2024), because of your loving support and prayers, our 150 children were able to each receive a new pair of shoes and clothes, purchased and delivered by our own dedicated staff. The children were very excited, happy and so glad to have new clothes and shoes for celebrating the Christmas holiday. Below are their excited videos for you to hear and see their excitement for yourself. They always bless you for your kind support.
