Finishing the 2021 year, the top need is Christmas gifts and food.

Both can be viewed and given here: www.starofhope.us/shop

In 2022 

Top Need, Haiti and impending food insecurity. Did you know one dollar buys a meal? Thirty dollars buys a family food package that lasts up to 4 weeks. 

The earthquake and political situation in Haiti will soon create a food crisis. We need to shore up our disaster fund to combat hunger.

We need to provide food and the means to share the Gospel more often and with more people. We ask for your consideration and prayers.

The year has been stained with huge economic deficits and pain due to the Coruna Pandemic, many if not all of our kids are affected.

Please give a gift to the Children, many are in survival mode. You can be the difference between dignity and despair.

How you can help? GIVE HERE

We appeal to you for gifts to our emergency fund now, so we will be able to respond fast to the appeals from our projects. We know that Non Profits traditionally will be the first to be cut from your economic and financial plan. Now you know why it is so important to continue and for you who do not give to chime in with perhaps just 10 dollars a month. Together we are strong and will help keep and restore our children's lives.

Donate now to our Emergency fund

We want our kids healthy and in a normal environment.

We have had a wonderful last 2 years in 2020-2021 with many projects completed. We were blessed with funds for new construction projects including Churches, Schools, and water projects, as well as seed and tool projects and more. Our main thrust is always the 30,000 kids in our schools, learning their ABCs as well as hearing the gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Vision is a world where all children have an opportunity to become educated, healthy adults, get involved in their communities, and share their love of Jesus Christ.

We depend on your time, talent, and treasure. Without you, the kids would not be in school and our extra important projects would never have a chance, so thank you and God bless you.

One desire we have is that you become a sponsor. That is what we need to make it possible to help kids around the world. $30 a month will fill the need for one child!

MORE TOP NEEDS 2021-2022 

Monthly supporters to keep the work of changing lives for the better and breaking the chains of poverty. 

Lunch Buddies needed, ( value with a punch) Lunches at school keep kids in school where they learn and hear the gospel, this is vital to help them succeed now and forever. We have a huge deficit in our feeding program.

Water Wells

Water wells in Haiti

When hurricane Matthew struck in October, the pipes to the old water station were destroyed in the remote village of Hesse. This could have had severe consequences – but the people of Hesse did not have to despair. Because right before the hurricane struck, Star of Hope had finished the construction of new wells made possible by private donations from dedicated sponsors. Their water is now being used for drinking as cooking as well as personal hygiene by grateful local families.

Cattle 

Cattle in Argentina

In Argentina, we have a cattle operation and the income from it helps provide long-term support for the Toba population and other projects that help the children. We have worked for over 40 years in Argentina. You are so important here, you can be involved in investing in needed farm animals to increase the; heard, profit, and the amount of assistance given. Every

earned dollar goes to help the Toba population. However, the farm is too small to generate any major profits but with your help, we can eventually create a self-sufficient source of income to help the work. Right now we need to add more calves, is this interesting call CEO, Mark Presson

Build new children’s home to replace one that we have to vacate. $375,000 needed

This is the Carrefour children’s home for 100 kids. They have to vacate the property which they did not own. The government has made land available outside the city. Other donors have pledged or given half of the total cost of $750,000. The balance we need is $375,000. This will build 4 group homes, each holding 20 children and an apartment for a set of house parents. The project also includes a dining/study hall and an office/guest house.

Child Evangelism & Discipleship Training. $97,500 needed

This project will make sure that each child has a Bible. Each teacher has training in child evangelism and child discipleship training. Since this is a startup project for us that we intend to replicate worldwide, I estimate the cost to be $25 per child. We have 3,900 children presently in our projects in Haiti.

The dream is to expand this to all 30,000 children we work with worldwide. The cost for that will reach $600,000.

2021

The year has seen many donors who have helped more than just one. God Bless you.

The earthquake and political situation in Haiti will soon create a food crisis. We need to shore up our disaster fund to combat hunger.

The children who are in school around the world need to hear that someone like you loves them too.

The economy of the US has been rather interesting, some have excelled and profited and others have lost ground. Donations are down and we need to have more people join in and be a hand up for a child and their local community. We need funds to share the Gospel better. 

In a nutshell, we need food and the means to share the Gospel more. We ask for your consideration and proyers.

Girls Dorm

Thank you so much for your support!

Girls and boys across the globe need us now more than ever.

Donors like you are the backbone of our work.

It is so important right now that we continue to do our work and keep your trust or perhaps earn it for the first time.This is because we need your monthly donation and extra gifts more than ever.

WHY?

Market collapse, coronavirus, oil price wars, N Korean missile tests, things are at a strange place indeed and people are worried, some are scared.

Due to the virus outbreak, people at some of our project countries are told, “Do not to go outside, it’s too dangerous.” In the US, the State Department basically says to not travel. Unfortunately, our staff members need to continue their travels to monitor projects and teach in-country staff. From our USA office, Maria Presson just got back from Sweden and in a few weeks travels to Kenya. Please pray with us for her safety.

What is fact and what is purely fear? It’s hard to know. However, we do know that we must continue to support the kids with food, education, health, and the Gospel.

When things get hard we tend to concentrate first on getting the children food. Children have a hard time learning and hearing the Gospel when their stomachs are empty and growling. In most cases, they won’t even attend school if there isn’t any food for them there. We need more help to meet the food shortage in the projects. The crisis is now, the need is now.

All of these things paint a pretty bleak picture and people are scared. Perhaps you are too, wondering, “What’s going to happen to my family and other loved ones?” I too am a little bit scared; or rather uncertain of what the future holds. Thankfully I know WHO holds the future. All things are in the Lord’s hands and He controls everything from the mighty to the microscopic. The safest place to be is in His will.

Please give an extra blessing to help the kids eat a school lunch.

We are praying for you and yours. Please be praying for ours.

Our distribution of Christmas packages was fantastic, thank all of you!
The distribution was worldwide and the staff worked very hard! None of this would become a reality without you!

It has been and is a great and much-appreciated success! Our digital Christmas packages, which are ordered through our gift shop starofhope.us/shop and then the good and livestock is purchased locally on-site in the countries, we did not know how you, the donors would react. We are reaching out to vulnerable families in all our project countries in a more cost-effective way; a way that also helps the local economy.

The help has reached most projects around the world, and now the joyful images have begun to come in. Look, enjoy and feel proud - for this joy you have created!
A big thank you to those who packed a package or donated a gift for this important promotion! It makes a difference for so many people!

Depending on the country, the packaging for the Christmas packages looks a bit different. In some countries it is a wrapped package, in others, the Christmas gift is delivered in a basket or bag. In any project where the distribution of packages is more difficult, we hand out gift cards. Some receive and will receive livestock. Regardless, your gifts the real underlying action is the gift of Christmas joy and hope for the future. More stories and reports will be posted soon.

God Bless YOU!
