Dear friends and family,

We are writing tonight with a sense of URGENCY. We just found out that
Asha House, the home for about 35 children that we have been working at, is in danger of closing due to lack of funds. As it stands now, if they do not have immediate donations online via www.ashahouse.org, they will have to close the home in December–next month!

Need I quote James 1:26? — “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to
look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself
from being polluted by the world.”

Friends and family, I ask you to make a donation to Asha, no matter if it’s big or small, one-time or recurring. If
the orphanage closes, many of the children have a parent to go to (they
are social orphans, and their parents cannot take care of them), but
they go back into homes of known sexual, physical and emotional abuse.
Additionally, if the home closes, many of the children will end up
begging on the streets or victims of human / sexual trafficking. This
is a KNOWN FACT about several of these children’s lives.

Asha House is a place of SAFETY, SECURITY and the LOVING ARMS OF
CHRIST to these children! Many come here terrified and shut down from
the trauma they have experienced, and after only a few months at the
House of Hope, they act like normal children again — eating huge
amounts of rice, laughing, playing, even fighting with one another. The
redeeming love of Christ is POWERFULLY AT WORK in Asha House. Please, I
ask you to make a donation for the sake of these children! They need to
stay safe in this little Kingdom haven.
