holding on to hope
TRANSCRIPT
It will have been ten years in October since Craig and I boarded a plane with passports in hand to make our first trip to the Philippines. Neither one of us had ever been out of the country before and this would be our first exposure to third world poverty. This first trip had come shortly after the inception of The S acre d Por t io n Children’s Outreach, a ministry that we had founded in response to a tug on our hearts to work on behalf of children without families. We had no idea what shape or form that call on our hearts would take and had committed the molding of the ministry to God’s hands. This first journey was in response to an invitation to visit the Children’s Shelter of Cebu, an orphanage operating in Cebu City, Philippines. CSC was just completing construction of a school for the children residing at the shelter and the administration was wanting to include a preschool program in their new facility. Continued on page 2
THE SACRED PORTION CHILDREN’S OUTREACH
A Child Caring Ministry
“And you . . . shall rejoice in all the good which the Lord your God has given you and your household. And you . . . shall say before the Lord your God, I have removed the sacred portion from my house, and have given it to . . . the orphan according to all thy
commandments which thou hast commanded me . . . I have listened to the voice of the Lord my God.” Deuteronomy 26: 11, 12 & 14
The Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing for the needy children of the world who are without homes or families. Formerly known in our community as Southwood Child and Family Education Center, the organization was directly involved for 22 years in the development and operation of an early childhood program. In 1997 the organization passed the care and continuation of that program into another’s hands and the founders, Craig and Jan Druckenmiller, turned their hearts towards serving a more needy population of the world’s children. The organization, as part of its new mission seeks to assist facilities that care for orphaned and abandoned children in providing healthy, secure environments in which these children can grow and develop as normally as possible.

Our Mission Holding On To Hope By Jan Druckenmiller

With my background and experience in early childhood education and my desire to b e c o m e i n v o l v e d i n orphanage work, it was a perfect fit for a first project. Our goals were to meet the staff and children of CSC and to assess what would be needed to develop the preschool program. As the plane began to descend on this island country ly ing low and vulnerable in the ocean, I felt a surge of panic with the realization that I had traveled far from my comfort zone. The drive from the airport to the Children’s Shelter was a bombardment of images of a culture very foreign to our U.S. confined experience and of p o v e r t y b e y o n d o u r comprehension. The staff at CSC were escaping for some much needed R&R at a nearby resort the first weekend we were there and invited us to join them. As much as we appreciated being included in this retreat, the timing couldn’t have been worse. To be set down in the midst of a poverty-stricken land with resultant sensory overload and then whisked away to a plush resort was more than I could handle. I remember standing in the middle of the marble clad bathroom in our resort accommodations with tears streaming down my face. I needed to break out of the insulating walls of that oasis and touch the desert of poverty that I had just encountered. Culture shock, heartbreak and the joy of getting to know the staff and precious children at CSC rolled together to create a wonderful first experience and to ignite a passion for the work that was to come. We returned
home, raised the funds needed to equip the preschool program and traveled to the Philippines several months later to implement the program. During our subsequent travels to the Phil ippines, we connected with another project, The Rehoboth Children’s Home. The founders, Bob and Barbara Morriss of Western Australia, had been praying for a partner to come alongside them in what been many years of toil in the construction of a safe haven for destitute children in the Philippines. We began taking work teams to Rehoboth and were able to provide funding from the U.S. to bring the construction to completion. Feeling that God had called them as builders but not as administrators of
the Children’s Home, Bob and Barbara returned to Australia with the oversight of the Home falling into our laps. I gladly welcomed this challenging opportunity to transfer my many years of experience in adminis trat ing an ear ly childhood program to serving a population of children whose needs were profoundly different. Now, five years after the opening of the Rehoboth Children’s Home in July 2003, we are expanding the vision of Bob and Barbara beyond the care of orphaned and abandoned children to address the root of the problem that leaves chi ldren in the Philippines without families. You can read the details of the Rehoboth Expansion Project beginning on page 13 of this publication.
infancy. Not having the stimulation or nurture needed to trigger the formation of critical neuro-pathways in the brain can be one of the greatest detr iments to children in institutional care. For the preschool age
chi ldren at CSC and Rehoboth, a classroom full of colorful toys that have interactive value and an early learning curriculum continue this path towards optimum development and lay a foundation for later learning. But creating environments to ensure normal growth and development is not enough. We have also infused children’s lives with the HOPE that comes from having a family of their own to nurture and guide them through their growing years. The Rehoboth Children’s Home has an active adoption program and 32 babies and toddlers have been released into the loving arms of adoptive families in the Philippines, U.S., Canada, Australia, Spain, Italy and
Through our exposure to a country where orphanages are brimming with children, the plight of the older orphan found a place of urgent passion within our hearts. We could see the hopelessness set before these children who were being passed by year after year as adoptive families selected children of a much younger age. We could hear the clock ticking in the background, each minute shortening the span of time before these children would “age out” of their institutions and be left to survive on their own by whatever means they could find, including crime and prostitution. We launched our first summer hosting program for older orphans in the summer of 2002 and have just completed our sixth summer of operation. In addition to the projects that we have initiated over the decade of our existence as a ministry, we have also taken several fledgling organizations under our wing for a time until they could fly free with their own non-profit status. These included Aid to Orphans in Madagascar and the Uganda Orphans Fund. I f t h e a c t i v i t i e s a n d accomplishments of this ministry over the past ten years could be summed up in a single word, it would be HOPE. HOPE has been interjected into the lives of children residing in institutions such as the Children’s Shelter of Cebu and the Rehoboth Children’s Home. Our goal has been to go beyond the basics of proper nutrition, clothing and medical care and provide the stimulation so necessary for brain development in early
Finland. Older children from orphanages in Kazakhstan, Russia, Colombia and the Philippines have found this same HOPE after being introduced to potential adoptive families through the Summer of Hope program. Of
t h e 7 7 c h i l d r e n w h o participated in this program over a period of five summers, 66 of those children were adopted by families in the U.S. Summer of Hope 2008 will see another 17 children added to t h i s s u c c e s s r a t e o f approximately 85%. As a Christian organization, our mission goes beyond finding families for children. Our Charter of Faith reads, “It is our aim to see that children have the basic necessities of life, proper medical care and an education to prepare them for the future. Above all, our desire is to give them an awareness of the extent of God’s love for them and His desire to redeem them as His children through the sacrifice of Christ.” The children whom we serve have

suffered so much in their young lives. Our goal is to not only give these children a family for life but to also speak into them God’s grace and gift of salvation. This needs to be spoken into them for what it is – a gift freely given, not something they have to attain. We want them to experience God’s grace and love in a way that can heal their wounds and give them HOPE. If accomplishment is measured quantitatively, then we have lagged dismally behind in comparison to other charitable organizations. Craig and I were recently looking at a web site that displays statistics in pie chart form for non-profit organizations in the U.S., including their revenue, fundraising costs, operating expenses and the salaries of their CEOs. We were spe c i f ic a l l y l ook ing a t organizations with whom we share a similar vision and with whom we have had some connection. Annual revenue
ranged from $3 million to $99 million which equates to lots of programs and services and a myriad of impressive accomplishments. Annual salaries of the CEOs who have the huge job of keeping these organizations running ranged from $55,000 to $1.3 million. Our annual revenue for The Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach hangs around $300,000 and my salary doesn’t even make it out of the teen figures! Yet, our comparatively puny efforts and accomplishments feel like a $3 million investment in the lives of children. In fact, there is no monetary figure large enough to equal the value of even one child being saved from an uncertain future and given a new life filled with HOPE. The photo on the front of this newsletter is a poignant one. The little brown hands hanging on to the adult in the airport security area speaks volumes. This Summer of Hope child had four weeks
filled with more fun than he could have ever have i m a g i n e d . H e a l s o experienced the love, nurture and protective arms of a family for perhaps the first time in his life. This child is probably too young to adequately verbalize what his Summer of Hope experience meant to him. But, the photo says it all. This child is ’HANGING ON TO HOPE” - not wanting to let go of a family-life experience so profoundly different from his orphanage existence; not wanting the time of fun and enjoyment to end; reluctant to let go of that hand and get on the plane that would take him away from something that fel t so intrinsically good to his child nature. We’ve already read the last chapter in this child’s story and know that it ends in HOPE. It will take many months to work through the process but a family in Boise, Idaho has committed to the adoption of this boy. He will return and, when he does, there will be a hand waiting to clasp his own and lead him into a life of HOPE and a future of opportunity.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future
and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11

The Summer of Hope program was once again conducted in the three communities of Bozeman and Billings, Montana and Boise, Idaho. Eighteen children from the Philippines ranging in age from 6 to 16 years old participated in the program. The group was comprised of eight single children, two sibling pairs and two sibling groups of three. Twelve families went through the preparation process to host the children. Each community held a Hope Walk/Run to raise the funds to cover the airfare of the children and their escorts, passports, visas, medical insurance and other expenses associated with carrying out the summer program. The children arrived on July 8 and had a great time during their four week stay. They were exposed to many new ideas and experiences and had lots of fun participating in all of the activities that were provided for them. The children and escorts returned to the Philippines on August 1.

Joy and Maricris… Sisters in Need of a Family
Joy, age 12, and Maricris, age 10, were hosted by a family in Boise, ID. The family enjoyed having Joy and Maricris in their home and really came to love these two girls. However, their daughter, Courtni, is very close in age to Joy and Maricris and the old adage, “Two’s company, three’s a crowd”, seemed to play out in this situation. The family felt that adopting Joy and Maricris would not be in the best interests of this sister pair or their family. Joy relates well to other children, especially children her same age and is also good with younger children. She is independent with her personal hygiene and is responsible in doing household tasks. She loves to dance and sing. She does well in school even though she had little opportunity for education prior to coming to live in the orphanage. Maricris is a sweet girl who goes by the nickname, “Emcee.” She is normally very bubbly and vocal in expressing her thoughts and feelings but tended to be rather withdrawn at times in the home of her host family, attributable to the fact that she was experiencing some jealousy over her sister’s relationship with Courtni. But she did have many fun days when she opened up and related well with her host family.
The host family will be happy to share additional information about the personalities and temperaments of these girls and their hosting experience. Please contact Jan at (406) 586-5773.
Summer of Hope 2009
It seems that no sooner do we put the children on the plane to return to their orphanages and get the adoptive families started on their paperwork then it’s time to start all over again! We will be recruiting host families and volunteers for Summer of Hope 2009 beginning this fall. Informational meetings will be held in Bozeman and Billings, MT and Boise, ID over the next few months. If you are interested in hosting a child next summer or want to help out with the program, we would encourage you to attend one of these meetings. The children from the Philippines who will be participating in next summer’s program will be identified in November/early December. We are also hoping to bring children from Colombia next summer if this program comes together in time. To find out about

Eric Lindeen and Anna Graham of Bozeman, MT returned home from the Philippines on October 3 with Rommel, age 11, Romella, age 9, and Racquel, age 6. Eric and Anna hosted these three siblings in the summer
of 2007 and it was a year long process to bring them home. The children had to make a quick adjustment from the tropical climate of the Philippines to the chilly
air of impending winter.
Shari Lee and Corny Kroon of Manhattan, MT returned home from the Philippines on October 5 with Angelica, age 16, Reynante, age 14, and Ronaldo, age 12. Shari Lee and Corny were the host family of this sibling
group in the summer of 2007. A few days to recover from jet lag and the kids were off to school!

Raising adopted children comes with many challenges and no one should go it alone. It’s vitally important for families to have connections with other families to share experiences and to gain new perspectives on issues that they are dealing with as they parent children who have entered their homes, wounded and hurt from their past life experiences. Families who take on this mission are often applauded by others and esteemed with words such as, “What a wonderful thing you have done!” But those words can ring with irony in our ears and even make us cringe with guilt if we are at a place in our adoption journey where it’s not feeling so wonderful. Detachment, shut downs and melt downs are some of the not-so-wonderful behaviors that we might be dealing with on any given day as our adopted children struggle to adjust and adapt to life within our families and to a new culture. Connecting with other adoptive parents who understand our confusion, hurts and disappointments can be the lifeline that we need. It is with these people that we can take off the crown of sainthood and be real and transparent. It is with these people that we can share the smallest victories and baby steps of progress and know that the magnitude of those gains is understood. The Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach offers this type of connectedness through our monthly POST ADOPTION SUPPORT GROUP. We meet without fail the last Thursday of each month at the Evangelical Free Church in Classroom #102 at 7:00 pm. Child care is available if needed and those arrangements can be made in advance. Our meetings center loosely around a topic each month and include information giving and sharing. The atmosphere is congenial, respectful and HOPEFUL. We believe that FAITH and a reliance on God is a key ingredient in being able to
What Every Adoptive Parent Needs to Know: Healing Your Childs Wounded Heart is an essential resource for adoptive parents. . . . As a young couple, Dan and Cassie Richards thought they had finally fulfilled their dream of having a family after adopting a beautiful little boy and girl. But they had unsuspectingly invited a Trojan horse into their hearts and home. While the children seemed happy on the outside, deep inside they were suffering from the hidden trauma that so many adopted children carry with them. This remarkable true-life story of raising two adopted children is a tale of hope and resilience, of two parents unprepared for their children s psychological wounds that only time would reveal. Most importantly, it shows that profound healing is possible when adoptive families realize that traditional parenting is not enough. Because of the rejection, neglect, and abandonment they experience in the first few months of life, adopted children are imprinted with the subconscious belief that at their core they are unlovable and worthless, even if their new parents are nurturing and loving. They often decide that to depend on anyone who has the power to abandon them including their new parents is lethal. As a result, as they grow older they may develop attachment and identity issues, and their behaviors can become provocative and frightening to their parents. What Every Adoptive Parent Needs to Know offers adoptive parents and parents-to-be a solution. It shows that the journey to healing begins with moving beyond the misconception that the life of adopted children starts when they arrive in their new home. And it gives readers both the courage and information they need to create the breakthrough these children deserve. By following the threads of the Richards moving story, clarified by insightful analysis and practical advice from family therapist Kate Cremer-Vogel, this compelling book reveals how the effects of childhood wounds can be transformed with therapeutic parenting techniques. Both parents and professionals will learn how to recognize the most common signs of abandonment, attachment, and identity issues in children from behaviors such as lying, stealing, anger, and hatred expressed toward caregivers, to the inability to share joyfully in holidays, birthdays, and celebrations. Parents will learn how to reorient themselves to look at these behaviors not as reasons for punishment but as the child s cries for help. As Cassie and Dan discovered, it is never too late to heal the wounded heart of a child with this powerful approach to parenting.

The Rehoboth Children’s Home Expansion Project
Our Vision: “Every Child Growing In A Loving, Caring Family”
Our Goals:
To provide for children who have lost their families due to poverty or other circumstances and to make an alternative plan for their future through
13
The Rehoboth Children’s Home Expansion Project Capital Campaign
History The vision of Bob and Barbara Morriss, founders of Asian Hope Missionary Outreach and the Rehoboth Children’s Home, was to create a safe haven for destitute children in the Philippines. They worked tirelessly over a period of ten years to complete the construction of the Children’s Home with the Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach coming alongside them in 2000 to help bring that vision to completion. Four humble, but well-equipped modern buildings were completed in 2003. These include two children’s houses, an administrative building and a kitchen/laundry with guest quarters for adoptive families. The Rehoboth Children’s Home was registered by the Department of Social Welfare and Development and began receiving children in July 2003. The Home provides a loving, family oriented atmosphere for children 0 to 8 years who have been orphaned, abandoned, surrendered, abused or neglected by their birth family. The children thrive at Rehoboth with good nutrition, proper medical care and a stimulating environment with quality interaction from their caregivers. The houses have the capacity for a total of 24 children. Since its inception, a total of 76 children have come through the doors of the Rehoboth Children’s Home. Through intervention, 23 of those children were reunited with their birth families. But, sadly, circumstances are such that reunification is not possible in many cases. For these children, the staff at the Rehoboth Children’s Home actively work to make an alternative plan for their futures through adoption. Twenty-nine children have found new homes around the world including the U.S., Canada, Australia, Italy, Spain and Finland. Three children have been placed with adoptive families within the Philippines.
A Brighter Future Every child deserves to have a family to nurture and guide them through their growing up years. By all rights, it should be the child’s birth family that provides this backdrop for love, growth and development. For many children in the Philippines and across the globe, this is not the case. It is estimated that there are as many as 143 million orphans worldwide. Poverty often cripples a family’s ability to care for their children and the children end up neglected or abandoned. Death of a parent may leave a child orphaned with no extended
family members in a financial position to assume responsibility for the child. Young women become pregnant and do not have a support system or the means to be able to raise their child themselves. Many children are growing up in orphanages in the Philippines which are no substitute for a family. The vision of the Rehoboth Children’s Home Expansion Project is twofold: 1) To provide for children who have lost their families due to poverty or other circumstances and to make an alternative plan for their future through adoption 2) To address the needs of Filipino families by providing support systems that will help families stay intact and give them the
capability to raise their own children

The Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach, along with Asian Hope Missionary Outreach of the Philippines, is working to support, educate and preserve Filipino children and their families by establishing an extraordinary facility to serve Sampaloc, Tanay, the Philippines. The purpose of the Capital Campaign is to raise the funds for the construction and operation of this facility with the end result being a brighter future for the children of the Philippines. • Imagine the change you can create if a family doesn’t have to give up its children because the parents
cannot care for them. • Imagine the hope you can give if a widow or young, unwed mother can gain the skills to support herself
and her children. • Imagine a place where expectant mothers’ medical needs are met and healthy babies become healthy
children, families and communities.
Expanding the Vision It is crucial that we continue to address the immediate concern of children needing to be rescued from dire circumstances. However, it is imperative that we also look at what causes families in Philippine culture to break down and what support can be offered to keep them intact. The Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach and Asian Hope Missionary Outreach are looking to the future with an expanded vision for the Rehoboth Children’s Home that will do far more to positively impact the community’s health, education and economic needs and thus prevent children from becoming abandoned or orphaned. In March 2007, the final payment was made on 5 acres of land located directly across the road from the Rehoboth Children’s Home. Highlights of the proposed expansion of Rehoboth include a new baby home, medical clinic, school, vocational training center, employment opportunities and sustainable agriculture. These pieces will allow the infrastructure to be built to attend to the immediate physical and emotional care of children and families and, more significantly, to address the future economic and cultural viability of Sampaloc. The blueprints are already in place thanks to the support and dedication of Engineering Ministries International (eMi), who recognized that assistance on this project was needed due to a lack of qualified professional in this relatively isolated community. eMi spent 10 days at the expansion site learning about Sampaloc’s history, local materials and building methods, and the area’s weather patterns in order to generate design plans that will be well received and stand the test of time.
An Opportunity to Change Lives On July 14, 2005, a very malnourished ten month old baby was admitted to the Rehoboth Children’s Home. Initially, the staff were very worried about the condition of this baby because he was not showing any emotion and could not even hold his head up by himself. With the help of a nutritionist who consulted with the staff, John Carlo (JC) steadily gained weight to where, four months later, he did not even look like the same child. In some cases, such as that of JC, admitting a child to the Rehoboth Children’s Home can be a saving gift of life.
The need may always exist for a safe haven in which children can recover from a devastating start in life and move on to a brighter future. But we need to set our sights on what we can do to provide families in the Philippines with the support they need to rise above their circumstances so that children like JC do not end up on death’s door. Education, employment and access to affordable medical care are three key elements that are incorporated into the expanded vision of the Rehoboth Children’s Home.

We have a Final Site Plan!
We recently received the final design from Engineering Ministries International. The master site plan along with architectural drawings and structural designs are completed and we are ready to go! We are excited to have in hand the finished project of many months of toil by the volunteer team members of eMi.
We have a Construction Manager!
Josh and Brita McKenzie of Bozeman, Montana have committed to going to the Philippines for an initial six month stay. Josh and Brita were part of a work team that went to Rehoboth in 2001. Josh returned to Rehoboth in October, 2007 on the team from Engineering Ministries International. Josh has a degree in Construction Engineering and a number of years of experience working in his field. Josh and Brita have a real heart for this ministry and a desire to serve. Josh will be stepping into the position of Construction Manager for Phase I of the project.
We have Funds and are Ready to Raise More!
We are kicking off our three-year Capital Campaign to raise the $1.3 million needed for this project. We currently have $95,000 that has been donated towards the $602,000 needed for Phase I. Wanting to be good stewards of what God has already provided, we will not begin construction until we have all of the funds in hand for the first phase of the project.
Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it? For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it,
everyone who sees it will ridicule him, saying, “This fellow began to build and was not able to finish.” Luke 14: 28 - 30
You can help children who are victims of poverty to have a second chance at life and a future with an adoptive family. You can ultimately help fewer children end up in orphanages. We invite you to become a part of this exciting new project by giving generously to our capital campaign. We ask for your support. Your generosity will help change people’s lives in a real way, a way that meets them exactly as they are, with

A Portion of Love Child Sponsorship Program
It is critical for the Rehoboth Children’s Home to develop a support base for the ongoing operation of the Home. While other types of contributions and gifts can be sporadic or seasonal, a sponsorship program provides a predictable and consistent income for the Home by which to meet the daily needs of the children for food, clothing, and medical care. In addition to providing a stable income base, the sponsorship program is an opportunity for others to become involved and have a role in providing love and care that can transform the life of a child. A child sponsor can be an individual or couple, a Sunday School class, youth group or civic organization. Once a sponsor is matched with a child, they will receive a description of their child and how he or she came to be at the Rehoboth Children’s Home. Regular updates and pictures will be provided throughout the year. Sponsors will have the opportunity to send letters, cards and small gifts to their sponsored child. The sponsorship amount is $25 per month. Since it costs more than $25 per month to provide for the many needs of a child at the Rehoboth Children’s Home, a sponsor’s gifts will be combined with others to form an extended family of support for their sponsored child. If you are interested in becoming a child sponsor through the PORTION OF LOVE sponsorship program, please complete the form below and return it to us at the Sacred Portion Children’s Outreach.

Money equals kids is the reality of the summer program. It costs
approximately $3,000 per child participant which includes airfare, escorts,
medical insurance, and summer activity fees. The number of children we
bring in any given summer depends upon how much money we can raise. For
Summer of Hope 2008, eighteen children were identified to participate in the
summer programs in Bozeman and Billings, Montana and Boise, Idaho. This
meant that we needed to raise a total of $54,000. It is always a daunting task
to take on this level of fundraising and there is a lot of nervousness on the part
of each community wondering if they will be able to meet their fundraising
goal. But each year of the summer program, God demonstrates His
faithfulness to our cause. Between the three communities, a total of $70,000
was raised! This has given us excess funds to put towards adoption assistance
for those families who have decided forward with the adoption of children who came this summer. When you look
at the ensuing pages acknowledging the Hope Walk contributors for each community, it is overwhelming to see the
outpouring of support from so many people. We are grateful to everyone - the HOST FAMILIES and
COMMUNITY COORDINATORS, who worked so hard to raise the funds, the people who formed teams and
participated in the Hope Walk/Run, the many individuals and businesses who pledged money for team members,
and those who gave in-kind donations of goods and services to help us keep our expenses down.
We are also very thankful for the doctors and dentists in each community who donated medical services for the
children and to the summer recreation programs who arranged special sessions for the children at a discounted rate.
May God Richly Bless Your For All That You Have Given On Behalf Of Children Needing Families!
