Dear Mission of Hope Family,

We want to update you on some exciting news regarding our young men and women in the Transition House program. Many of these young men and woman have been with Mission of Hope since they were very young. From the very beginning it was our vision to see them become men and women that love Jesus and would be a part of seeing Haiti changed for Christ.

On October 31st, they will begin this journey.

Many of you are familiar with the Transition House program that was created to address the need of how to best continue to support our orphanage kids after they reached the age of 18 and were required by Haitian law to move out of our orphanage. This plan enabled them to remain on campus until they were 25 years old, continuing their education and learning the skills that would enable them to successfully integrate back into their villages. With this transition, each will receive a one-time financial gift from Mission of Hope, help securing adequate housing in their villages, and an educational scholarship to continue attending university or tech school. Our staff will always continue to be available to them for guidance, discipleship, and support.

In addition, our young adults who are now 18-24 years old are also moving off-campus, since there has been a strong push from the Haitian government for family reunification whenever possible. Mission of Hope will continue to support them as they move back in with their families or get a place of their own with their Village of Hope siblings. The continued support from Mission of Hope will include a one-time financial gift to secure housing, a monthly stipend for living costs, ongoing school support, food each month from our meal program, and access to the MOH campus, including the Medical Clinic.

It is our goal to set our children up for success and support them as they grow into responsible, influential adults in their communities. On October 31st, we will be having a ceremony celebrating the 34 young men and women who will now be re-joining their own communities as adults. Change is hard, but we are committed to making this transition for each young person successful with the support and availability of our staff for any needs or issues that may arise moving forward! The Transition House itself is going to become the new home for the Village of Hope orphanage. We ask you to join us as we pray for all of our Village of Hope family to make a positive impact for the Kingdom of God!

Sincerely,

Brad Johnson
Mission of Hope President

Hi Charlotte,

It's hard to believe we are in the final weeks of 2020. In a year that started so differently than it is ending, we can stand firm in the hope of Jesus Christ and all that He has done for us. We are so thankful for your faithfulness this year and hope these stories encourage you as we reflect on His goodness.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Pastor Djony, pictured in the white shirt, has been helping Nelson, his wife, and their two grandkids repair their roof since earlier this year. While Nelson and his family waited through a series of delays, Pastor Diony continued to visit them, checking on how they were doing. A few months later, thanks to the generous donations of a church in the U.S., their roof is now finished! God''s timing was perfect-the roof was completed just days before a tropical storm came through, so Nelson and his family had a safe place to be protected through the storm. His family has also stayed healthy this year, and they are doing well in their newly finished home.

GUATEMALA
Last month, Guatemala was hit by two hurricanes-Eta and Iota. Flooding and landslides caused thousands of families to be displaced. Our team has been working closely with restaurants, organizations, and government leaders to deliver hot lunches every day to families living in shelters, both in the city of Puerto Barrios and in rural communities accessible only by boat. There is still lots to be done, but even through tragedy, we are encouraged to see God uniting people as the church steps in to care for those who have lost everything. Please pray that as Guatemala is rebuilt, the hope, love, joy, and peace of Christ would shine brightly this Christmas season.

Thank you for your commitment to life transformation for every man, woman, and child. You are making a life-changing impact in the lives of so many. We could not do this important work without you. I hope you and your family have a joyous holiday season as we celebrate the birth of our Savior.

Sincerely,
Mission of Hope

Dear Charlotte,

School started again in Haiti last month, and the students were so excited to be back! But even with schools open, many families cannot afford to send their kids to school.

While the pandemic has disrupted education worldwide, the situation is especially acute in Haiti, where just an estimated two-thirds of adults can read and write.

For many, sending their kids to school is out of reach. According to a recent article from Reuters, four out of five schools in Haiti are private, and even those in public school do not have the money to buy shoes or basic supplies. "Maybe we can send them to school next year," they say, but the risk is that parents might never be able to afford it.

Nelson Pierre Romano is 17 years old and lives in Cabaret. He is in the 12th grade at our School of Hope. "I am very glad to get back to school after spending five months at home because of the pandemic," says Nelson. "All that I wish is to see that I finish my school and go to the university as quickly as possible to learn something and have a job in order to help my parents."

Nelson has hope when so many others do not. He has a path out of poverty and dreams for his future. There are hundreds of kids like Nelson who have hopes and dreams for their future, but their current realities do not make it possible.

For $35/month, you can help give a student an opportunity to regularly hear, see, and feel the gospel, receive a daily nutritious meal, and learn from a quality Christ-centered curriculum.

We are asking you, our Mission of Hope family, to commit to sponsoring a child this month. We are on a mission to make sure every single kid in Haiti can have hope like Nelson. Child sponsorship truly changes lives, and you can be a part of that transformation.

Mission of Hope

Hi Charlotte,

God is faithful, and He is working in the hearts and lives of people around the world. We're so glad we can share the following stories of His goodness with you this month.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC:
During the most recent community food distribution, Pastor Robinson visited the community of Ensue?o and delivered 55 meals to 55 families - over 1,000 delivered in Santiago total. If you visited Santiago on a mission trip last fall, you might have recognized the location. It was in Ruth's home, one of the homes built and repaired by several Mission of Hope teams. While distributing food, Pastor Robinson and his team were also sharing the gospel, and a young couple, Florestal and Manouchka, told him they wanted to accept Jesus as their Savior. "They invited us into their home to pray for them," explains Pastor Robinson. We took their information to stay connected with them and always go and visit them, and they always follow the Bible study I do on Facebook." They have also begun attending his church and are talking with him now about getting married.

GUATEMALA:
Maria has been a neighbor and friend in Guatemala for a long time. She is a widow caring for her five children and her elderly mother. In preparation for the Hope for Her team that was to visit Guatemala in mid-June, our team was previewing needed repairs to her home. Upon further inspection, however, the team realized that with the holes in the walls and termite damage, the home could literally be pushed over by a handful of men. Instead of repairs, we decided to build Maria a completely new home.

The local team went to work rebuilding the four walls, but they did not stop there. They also built a bathroom to replace the blue tarp they had been using, re-roofed the wash area that leaked terribly, re-wired all new safe electrical wiring to the house, and poured a new concrete floor for the kitchen so they would not get flooded every time it rained. Lastly, the family was given a new wood-burning stove. All of this was done through our Women's Empowerment ministry.

We are so thankful for your faithful partnership that allows us to continue to meet the physical and spiritual needs of people in this time!

Sincerely,
Mission of Hope

Hi Charlotte,

What an exciting month it has been! God is continuing to move in incredible ways in our ministry, thanks to partners like you. With a year that has brought us so much uncertainty, God is using our staff in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and those stateside to move the ministry forward. This month, we are excited to share with you a story that is impacting lives in Haiti and an opportunity for you to serve with us in 2021. Thank you for being a part of the Mission of Hope family.

MEAL PACKING
This month, The Chapel in Fort Wayne, Indiana hosted a meal packing event to help provide more meals to families in Haiti. Mission of Hope received 60,000 meals, thanks to 202 generous volunteers. This means more children will have a daily nutritious meal.

"It was amazing to see a table of people serving together where you had a four year old and an 84 year old working together to change their world one meal at a time," said volunteer Staci Coolman.

We are so thankful for The Chapel and the countless other churches and businesses that host meal packing events to help feed kids in Haiti. If you and your church or business are interested in hosting a meal packing event, click here to learn more.

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
The Dominican Republic is filled with pastors and leaders who care about their communities and know the needs of the people surrounding them. Over the past year, we have had the opportunity to foster meaningful friendships with many men, women, and children in the Dominican Republic, and we have seen firsthand how to meet critical needs.

As you make your plans for 2021, we'd love for you to include a HopeGo trip to the Dominican Republic.

Hi Charlotte,

In a month filled with gratitude, we are excited to share these two inspiring stories with you and give thanks to God for all He has done and is continuing to do. Thank you for your partnership. We hope these stories inspire you as much as they have us!

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
Last month 120 bags of food were delivered to local Dominican families who were in need. This was one of our largest distributions done in the DR, and two of our North American missionaries were able to be a part of it for the first time.

"It was such an honor getting to work with our team for the recent food distribution," said Paige Oberlag. "As we''ve been out of the country for a majority of this year, it was so sweet to finally get to work with our team again! Things are starting to feel kind of back to normal here in the city, but the need for food nonetheless is still very much present. There''s a Haitian proverb that I learned back while I was in Haiti-men anpil chay pa lou-meaning, many hands make the load lighter. What a gift it was to see all the working hands in this process, from the generosity of those of you who gave, to our local staff who purchased, bagged, and counted every item, to pastors who went and prayed with every person receiving needed groceries. We don''t always get to see the full process, and we still may never know everything God has been doing through the previous distributions, but what a sweet day to catch a small glimpse and be reminded of His sovereignty and that He is still placing all the pieces together."

HAITI
We're delighted to share that last month, 193 young men and women graduated from our School of Hope in Haiti. While this is something to be proud of in any country or culture, it is particularly so in Haiti, where the majority of people never attend high school, much less graduate. These men and women have worked diligently, motivated by the hope of a better future for themselves, their families, and their country.

Your support of Mission of Hope has changed the narrative for these men and women and their families. With diplomas in hand, they are celebrating what God has done and also what He will do-in and through them.

Sincerely,
Mission of Hope

Dear Charlotte,

Is 2020 over yet? Can we just go back to the way things were before?

Many people feel this way. In Haiti, the way things were before was unbelievable. The new reality, though, feels catastrophic. For a country plagued by hunger for decades, how can it be significantly worse in just one year?

These staggering numbers are the current reality in Haiti. In August, thousands of schools reopened. Schools that were open for only 12 weeks last school year are now filled with kids who are learning and growing. Because of Team Hope, there are thousands of kids in Haiti who no longer are hungry and are no longer a statistic.

Wonder what a mere $10 a month can do? By donating to Team Hope, you can move kids from hunger to hope. But it is more than just a meal. When you help feed a child in Haiti, you change not only that one day for them, but their future too.

Check out this video to learn how people just like you are providing more than just a meal to these kids through Team Hope.

Watch Video

For $10 a month, you can change the life of one child. For many of us, $10 isn't much, but to a child in need, it could be the difference between life and death.

How many kids are you able to feed? What if the 2021 stats were different than 2019 and 2020? What if God used Team Hope to change the narrative?

Hi Charlotte,

We are sorry for the typo in our email headline earlier today. We obviously meant to say: Giving Tuesday would not be possible without YOU!

We wanted to make sure you knew how greatly you are appreciated, so we are sending an extra email to say "Thank You" again!

Grateful for you and your partnership,

Dear Charlotte,

What started as providing groceries to one community affected by the COVID-19 pandemic has expanded to relief efforts and nutritional assistance in 21 different communities in Guatemala.

Cabo Tres Puntas is one of those new communities-an extremely remote village on the northern tip of the Guatemalan peninsula. Due to its location, the people who live here had not received any relief or assistance from the coronavirus shutdowns and were extremely disconnected, especially from stores and hospitals.

Our team arrived a few weeks ago by boat with over 100 bags of food, enough to feed every family for two weeks. After we distributed the food, all the community of Cabo Tres Puntas warmly welcomed us back and encouraged us to do more ministry with them in the future.

The needs are tremendous, and yet so are the opportunities. God has opened doors, but we need your help so we can commit to serving these families and more like them. We know times are incredibly difficult right now, but we ask on behalf of these people who are relying on us, not only in Guatemala but also in Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

Would you please consider making a donation today? Will you ask God how He would like you to help? Our prayer is that every person in this community, and every community where we serve, comes to know of the love of Jesus and that God uses these physical needs-like a bag full of groceries-to lead to spiritual transformation in the lives of every man, woman, and child we meet.

Thank you!

Sincerely,
Mission of Hope

Hi Charlotte,

These are challenging times. As you may know, Mission of Hope has some experience with challenges-the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Hurricane Matthew, Hurricane Irma, Hurricane Dorian, political instability, protests, government shutdowns, and now Covid-19.

Thank you for rising to the challenge with us. People in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and Guatemala need us right now-they need the local Church-and you are helping empower local pastors and leaders to serve their communities. Here are just a few of the stories that you are helping make possible.

HAITI:
Our Village Champions recently passed out masks and installed hand-washing stations to help prevent Covid-19. Two community members, Jude Valcine and Lucianie Regis, helped educate their neighbors about Covid-19 prevention. The eagerness of the community is keeping our Village Champions busy, as they hurry to refill the soap dispensers to keep up with demand!

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC:
Pastors from our local partner churches have been able to give food packages to over 250 families in Santiago and Sosua. We are also in the process of repairing a woman's home in the community of Cien Fuegos, whom we lovingly call Abuela. She just turned 81 years old and has been waiting for these repairs for months. They are truly an answered prayer.

Thank you for your continued support as we work together to transform the lives of every man, woman, and child through Jesus Christ.

Sincerely,
Mission of Hope

Dear friend,

I have seen, time and time again, the transformational ways God can change a life.

Luke was 14 when he entered an orphanage in Haiti. At 18, when Haitian law required him to move out on his own, he was left with no place to go. He had no family and no job. He came to our Mission of Hope campus in Haiti, and applied for a job. Our team was able to offer him that job, which allowed him to rent a house. He has worked this job faithfully for over 15 years!

Luke is now married with two sons, both of whom attend our School of Hope on our campus in Haiti. His boys will not have to live what their father lived. From orphan to father, Luke's story is one of generational life transformation.

You are critical to the mission of bringing life transformation to every man, woman, and child through Jesus Christ. This holiday season, would you please consider making a year end donation so that together we can see more generations transformed in the years ahead?
