On Tuesday I was able to visit One Hope Ministries which runs a transitional home for girls who have grown up in orphanages, and it helps prepare them for a life on their own.  It was a huge blessing to me as the directors of the ministry, John and Judy Prim, have experience in both running an orphanage and in helping kids adapt to life afterwards. I really enjoyed seeing their vision for the girls, hearing their experiences, and listening to their advice for me.

The best part was definitely that two of the girls from Casa Shalom now live at this home, and it was great to know that they were being taken care of so well.  The verse that stuck in my mind after visiting was 1 Thessalonians 2:7-8.

We were gentle among you, like a mother caring for her little children. We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us.

The home is also hoping to bring in six new girls soon, but like most ministries right now, really needs financial help.  I encourage you to take a few minutes to check out www.onehopeministries.com to learn more about them and their very essential minstry.
