Greetings from Sikkim, India. I’ve got some great opportunities for you in this update. As you probably know, an important part of our ministry is overseeing our children’s home here in Sikkim. We have 14 children in our care and it is such a joy to watch them grow. We recently had a fun day of swimming with all of our kids, as we celebrated our daughter Mahima’s 7th birthday.
Mahima turned 7
Fun in the Son!
The opportunity I want to share with you involves child sponsorships as well as helping us to purchase some new play equipment. Right now 4 of our children need monthly sponsors, and if you’re interested, you can find more information HERE. We’re also raising some additional funds to buy a pool and trampoline. The total cost for both these items is $1300. So far we’ve received $250, leaving $1050. Here are picture of the kind of equipment we’ll be getting.
The sponsors will cover an additional $200 in monthly support for our Hope Home budget, and the play equipment will be a great blessing to our kids. The pool will help us with water baptisms too! If you’d like to help us with any of these needs, sponsorship or equipment, please let me know. Together we’re creating lots of smiles!
As always, thank you for keeping us in your prayers.
With love,
Mike Van Buskirk
