Dear supporters,
Having been with World Orphans now for two and a half years, the “Ochoatribe” has decided to follow God’s call back into the field. Our last day with World Orphans will be April 15th, 2010. We love what World Orphans does and we want to encourage you to continue in your support of their work. Please be advised that effective April 15th we will no longer be receiving any personal support through World Orphans. God has been opening doors for our return to the field and we are excited for what is to come. Over the coming months, we will be traveling, raising support, and praying to see where God will have us serve next. We are in conversation with a couple of agencies. For now we want to thank you for all your love and prayers. You can be sure of one thing; God has given us peace about stepping out in faith and being obedient to His calling. As you can imagine, the process of leaving is extensive and we still have a few matters to address, one of which is our daughter Hannah. She is seventeen and will be attending college next year. Her wish is to stay behind and continue her education here in the States. This is a hard decision for her and for us but we are proud of our baby girl. Please continue praying for us as we work out the details. When we left for Uganda last time we were outnumbered by girls but this time around, the boys rule! For the “Ochoatribe,” to serve children and their teachers is our passion. Our hearts are burdened to see the children of Africa come to know Jesus, as their Savior to know and love their creator as their God that the next generation might know and worship God. Here is quote I have held close to my walk over the last few years; this is a representation of our heart: "If I could relive my life, I would devote my entire ministry to reaching children for God!" Dwight L. Moody, evangelist
Lastly, we endeavor to say thank you for standing by us and supporting us in so many ways over the last few years. We will be in contact with all of you and sharing more with you in the near future. You cannot know of the encouragement and hope you give to us individually and as a family. Of you it can be said, “they will know they are Christians by their love.” You have indeed loved us. Thank you our dearest friends. Grateful and hopeful, The ochoatribe |
