Ethiopia I have some very exciting news. As many of you know we have been in Ethiopia since 2008. We have accomplished much including being registered as an NGO (non-government organization).

We were about half way through the building process when other religious entities thought we were building a church building and they picketed the work place and physi- cally shut us down. Now for more than 5 years we have wrestled with government and religious entities to show that we are in fact building a building to house orphans. Our original cost to complete the first stage of the building was to be $40,000, however, inflation has domi- nated the country and the original cost has doubled. In December, 2017 I once again went to the authorities to plead my case and was told that they now realize that we really are building an orphanage and not a church.

Ethiopia

I have some very exciting news. As many of you know we have

been in Ethiopia since 2008. We have accomplished much including

being registered as an NGO (non-government organization). We have

watched God fight many battles for us as we began an orphanage with

12 children. We began to build our orphanage building on land that

was granted us by the government. We were about half way through

the building process when other religious entities thought we were

building a church building and they picketed the work place and physi-

cally shut us down. Now for more than 5 years we have wrestled with

government and religious entities to show that we are in fact building a

building to house orphans.

Our original cost to complete the first stage of the building was to be $40,000, however, inflation has domi-

nated the country and the original cost has doubled.

In December, 2017 I once again went to the authorities to plead my case and was told that they now realize

that we really are building an orphanage and not a church. I was told that we could now proceed to finish the

building if we could finish it in 2018.

My team in Ethiopia has worked very hard to get this matter settled so by faith I told the officials we would

complete the first phase of the project in 2018. I didn’t have any money but I know that God wants a lighthouse

in this community. There are more that 50,000 people in this area and not a single church within 30 miles of our

facility.

When I came home I told my wife about the situation and we prayed. Then on December 29, 2017 a couple

who we barely knew sent us a check in the mail for $40,000, exactly what we needed to complete the first faze

of our building project. We are so blessed to have such friends as them and you. The building is once again be-

ing worked on as I write this. Pictured below is the building as it has set for the last 5 years.

Ukraine

Our team in Ukraine stays constantly busy as

they minister to orphans of all ages. They teach

basic skills to many of the children and adults. Vis-

iting handicapped orphanages and adult facilities as

well as orphanages and adult facilities for normal

people. Our team members will visit with them,

listen to them, tell them about the Lord and in gen-

eral just love them. For some of these kids and

adults our team members are the only friends they

have. (Continued on back page)

Kyrgysztan

Hello, my American friends. My family sends their greet-

ings to you and your families.

In ministry we are getting ready for summer camps. Many

of the kids are remembering last summer when we cooked for

them and again this year we will do the same. The children

are all looking forward to this event. Many of my friends

will join me as we prepare not only a meal but a great time of

fellowship, skits, puppets and just making friends with kids

who usually don’t have many adults they can talk to.

Many of the orphanages we visit are huge and it is difficult

for our teams to each pay attention to each child. So we try

each time to talk to different children so no one is offended or

feels left out. We want them all to feel loved and to have ac-

cess to one or all of our team members.

I was talking to one girl at one of our orphanages and asked her how often her mom visits her? She said her

mom always promises to come each week but rarely keeps her promise. The bad thing is that other boys and

girls started telling us the same thing about their mom’s and dad’s. Promising to come but it never happens. It

gave me a great opportunity to share about the one who always keeps His promise.

Last week we were talking to some teenage boys who were about to leave their orphanage and were really

afraid about their future. We told them about a loving God who holds their future in His hands. He gives peace

for their future if they are willing to yield to Him.

I watch our team in action and am so proud of each one as they share God’s love without hesitation.

Isa 55:10

11 It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to,

and it will prosper everywhere I send it. NLT

Russia Teams Our Russia teams continue to minister. Holding meetings at many orphanages, elderly homes, handicapped

places, Tuberculosis hospitals and wherever they can. We are so proud of these teams as they continue to reach out

with the Gospel under extremely adverse conditions. They are planning several events this summer that will impact

the lives of thousands of the very needy in this country that is desperate for revival. Please continue to pray for our

workers and the country in general. Our prayers are being answered so don’t stop praying.

NHOM Prayer Requests

1. Pray for the situation in Sri Lanka.

Since our director has died we

Putinism is running rampant.

3. Pray for the work in Ethiopia and

the completion of our building

project on our orphanage.

4. Pray for our team in Kyrgysztan

that God would continue to give

them opportunity for evangelism.

God would continue to guide them

and keep them safe.

all our workers.

Ukraine (cont.) They are excited when our teams show up. They are

blessed by the presentation of special skits, singers, musi-

cians, speakers and all enjoy the hugs that are brought and

given to all. Our teams do the maximum under extreme cir-

cumstance. They rarely complain and are true ministers of

the Gospel. They take to heart James 1:27, Pure religion and

undefiled before God and the Father is this, to visit the fa-

therless and widows in their affliction, and keep yourself

unspotted from the world.

Computers Computers

I am excited to share with you a wonderful new

ministry we at NHOM are involved with. My former

Pastor Jim Blewett has been involved in a business

called “Resurrection Computers” for many years. He

repairs and rebuilds computers. We sat down together

shortly after he retired and he asked me to see about

helping Pastors in small churches who cannot afford

computers. He would donate rebuilt used computers

to them free of charge. This has been so successful

and the Pastors are thrilled to receive the scripturally

loaded computers.

We have and are sending computers to two African

Nations, to our orphanage in Ethiopia, to two native

Indian Reservations and to some Alaskan Pastors as

well as several local Pastors in the Ministry Network.

We load the computers with sermons, notes and

programs that help develop the ministry for these Pas-

tors and their churches. When I was a young Pastor

someone gave me a Bible program that really helped

me to understand and put to use the information I

needed for many of my sermons. I still use this pro-

gram often.

If you have laptops or desktop computers you

would like to donate, whether working or not, please

contact us. All donations are tax deductible through

NHOM International.

Sri Lanka Please be in prayer with us as we contemplate what our future

will be in Sri Lanka. Since the death of our beloved worker Madhu

we have not found anyone to take her place and it will not be possi-

ble for me to make a trip to Sri Lanka anytime soon.
