Twelve-year-old Artyom in Armenia experienced tragedy too early in life when his dad was killed in a car accident. After that Artyom, his mother, and his two older brothers had only each other to look after. Together, this close-knit family moved in with Artyom’s grandmother and many other relatives. Artyom’s mother

Ayama

South Africa

was excited that her kids could attend youth services at church and summer camp while she worked. But she was especially grateful for the love and support at the Orphan’s Promise training center. The Warm Winter project helped her family stay warm throughout the freezing winter months, and the School Backpack campaign offered much-needed supplies for the school year.

While Artyom attended lessons at the center, his outlook on life improved significantly. Not only did he make new friends, but he also got along better with his siblings. His relationship with

God progressed as well. During a church service, he welcomed Christ into his heart.

Artyom’s mother couldn’t be happier. “The Lord answered our need through you!” she exclaimed. Such inspiring stories continue with Ayama in South Africa.

This 3-year-old girl and her mother, Portia, had experienced the difficulties of life all too well. The two lived in a one-room shack with several other family members. It was difficult for Portia to find work with Ayama at her side, so she watched her sister’s children in exchange for groceries. There seemed to be no way out of this frustrating situation until a neighbor informed Portia of an Orphan’s Promise outreach called Life Child Preschool. There, Portia found friends to confide in.

“A weight was lifted off my shoulders,” Portia shared. “I felt relieved and at peace.”

While Ayama attended preschool classes, Portia found a job at a donut shop. Ayama enjoys the activities at her preschool, including worship time. She has even befriended a little girl named Princess. It was during

Yuran, Costa Rica their time at Life Child Preschool that Portia and Ayama came to know Christ as their Savior.

Yuran’s story is just as heartwarming.

This young boy in Costa Rica is surrounded by deep poverty. Sadly, Yuran and his brother live without a father’s love. And their mother, who has been deaf since birth, struggles to communicate with her family and keep a stable job. But one day, their grandmother heard about an Orphan’s Promise project called Hope Bunker that offers a welcoming environment for families in need. At first, Yuran was very timid, but as time went on, he grew confident and enjoyed playing with other children. Yuran and his brother also receive nutritious food, caring support, and Superbook lessons where they learn about Jesus. Yuran’s family is thankful for the dramatic changes they have seen in Yuran’s attitude and overall well-being.

Karina Nuñez, Orphan’s Promise Latin America Regional Manager, said, “Each time we see a smile on Yuran’s face, we know God is also smiling.”
