One of the great joys and privileges of our ministry is, Sikkim’s “Hope Home”. From what began with two young boys in 2005, God has expanded to us now caring for 14 children today. It truly is a wonderful blessing to invest our lives into these precious boys and girls. From the beginning, our vision has been “to rescue boys and girls from a life of uncertainty, to give them a hope and a future”. We want the reality of Jeremiah’s words to be the reality of each of our children’s lives.
“For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord. They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” – Jeremiah 29:11
We’ve been enjoying the winter holidays with all of our children. There are many get togethers and outings. Here are a couple pictures with some of the younger kids.
A sleep over at our house with our younger boys… Joshua loves to have his brothers and best friends stay with us!
Out on the town with Joshua, and his 7 beautiful sisters.
School will resume mid February. We are making the necessary preparations for expansion in our school, Hope Academy. It’s lots of work, and it’s worth it all! Our lives are an investment into the eternal destinies of those God Almighty has called us to serve. Eternity waits for each of us, and the investments into precious people that we make in this life are all that we can take with us.
I want to thank you for the investments you are making. Perhaps you pray or support our ministry financially. Those investments are helping us to reach more people. And, whether you support our ministry or not, in your day to day life there are many opportunities God will give you to make a difference in the lives of people. Let’s keep doing it! Let’s keep loving God and loving people!
We appreciate you!
With love & for the harvest,
Mike Van Buskirk
