We visit the orphan, bringing food, clothes, warmth and most importantly, love. We witness to the unreached, bringing food to the homeless. The picture above, in one frame, describes exactly what we do and what it means to those that receive. An elderly widow- who I’ll promise has barely heard a kind word spoken in her life- waits to have her feet tended after years of neglect, by one of the young ladies of The Orphan’s Hands, named Elmira. The widow is overcome with emotion, tears flowing down her cheeks. Possibly, for the first time in her life, she feels truly loved. The Bible says, “Jesus washed his disciples feet.” In a little home, in one of the poorest villages in the poorest country in Europe, Elmira, once an orphan, knelt down and washed Jesus’ feet: for the Bible also says, Jesus speaking, “When you do it to the least of these, you have done it unto Me” (Matthew 25:40). This lovely old woman had nothing to offer Elmira in return, but her tears of gratitude was enough. We really need your help. The outreach of our kids in Moldova is growing faster than our base of support. These amazing young men and women of The Orphan’s Hands are driven with passion to touch as many lives as possible. Our resources are limited... our faith is not, and our heart yearns to do more! Please pray about what you can do to help us continue to expand the work of The Orphan’s Hands. Elmira’s act of kindness to this widow, in the light of all Moldova’s needs, seems so small. Yet, as she returned to her tiny house, having also received coal and food from The Orphan’s Hands, in her eyes, her world had changed. The Orphan’s Hands was able to provide a supply of life-saving coal ($150) and food ($50), and by doing so took the fear of dying from this poor soul’s heart.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="1_2" layout="1_2" last="no" spacing="yes" center_content="no" hide_on_mobile="no" background_color="" background_image="https://www.theorphanshands.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Nadia-Rosca-IMG_3293.jpg" background_repeat="no-repeat" background_position="left top" hover_type="none" link="" border_position="all" border_size="0px" border_color="" border_style="solid" padding="" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" animation_offset="" class="" id="" element_content="" min_height=""][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="1_2" layout="1_2" last="yes" spacing="yes" center_content="no" hide_on_mobile="no" background_color="" background_image="https://www.theorphanshands.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Natalia-Sahar-IMG_2923-copy.jpg" background_repeat="no-repeat" background_position="left top" hover_type="none" link="" border_position="all" border_size="0px" border_color="" border_style="solid" padding="" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" animation_offset="" class="" id="" element_content="" min_height=""][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" layout="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none" last="no" hover_type="none" link="" border_position="all"][fusion_text]We are starkly aware of how little we have in the face of such need.

The temperature went to -19 . The long struggle of winter has begun in earnest. The struggle is unimaginable sitting in a world where heat is available at the turn of a thermostat and hot water flows from a tap on demand, but where The Orphan’s Hands ministers, everything is a struggle. We minister to the orphan, the poor, the homeless, the girl who lives in the shadow of the trafficker. Our kids know how it feels… the continuous sick feeling in the pit of their stomach, the panic when a stranger looks at them longer than normal, the feeling of being hunted, knowing that your value is only in how many times you can be used. Imagine lying in your bed, so cold that to move invites the pain of ice-cold air under your blanket, but you must get up. The fire has to be started. Then you remember. There is no coal, and the water bucket is empty. It's a quarter of a mile to the well. Another day has begun. As you read this, we are weaving a net of hope under families who live so close to being broken. It's on these desperate days when a mom can't bear to watch her little girl go hungry another day. It's on these days when they are given away to the orphanage, and the road to trafficking begins. There are thirty families right now who live because of the care of The Orphan’s Hands.

No one in the world can reach those hurting so deeply. I couldn't. I come from a world of privilege. How can they relate to me, relating to them? It reminds me of a baby in a manger. Jesus was the King of Kings, yet He was born in a stable so that poor shepherds felt comfortable in His presence. An orphan can relate to those in poverty and can bring the Hope of the Gospel with them.

We are trying to buy a home for the deaf girls who wait for a place to call home, yet we cannot stop helping the poor … we can’t cease in stopping the next generation of orphans that are created by such poverty. For a gift of a $100 you can provide food and heating for a family for a month. What ever your gift is, it’s important. I spoke to Nadia, our head girl, yesterday. She explained how brutal the cold was. In the conversation, I suggested the kids have a celebration for their Christmas Day on January 7th. I told her to gather the kids from our three houses and have a party. "Dad," she cut me off, "We won't be home. We're going to Falesti, a poverty stricken village, and helping the poor." My heart was so moved. The needy and the broken mean more to them than a party. I am so proud of their heart. Your giving gives them the opportunity to give. As 2016 begins, please join with all the Cameron family as, together, we love those who move God's heart. We pray for you to have a blessed New Year! We Love You!

It was around this time of year, and there were six or seven women who were in Romania trying to adopt babies. It had just become evident to them all that they would not be home for Christmas. They had come to Romania on the desperate hope of adopting a baby. I sat with them a little while and my heart was so sorry as they spoke about being torn between the hope of adopting a baby and the family they had left behind. There was a piano there, and I sat and sang some Christmas carols with them, and then without thinking I began to sing, “I’ll Be Home For Christmas.” They all began to weep.[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="3_5" layout="3_5" last="no" spacing="yes" center_content="no" hide_on_mobile="no" background_color="" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" background_position="left top" hover_type="none" link="" border_position="all" border_size="0px" border_color="" border_style="solid" padding="" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" animation_offset="" class="" id="" min_height=""][fusion_imageframe lightbox="yes" lightbox_image="https://www.theorphanshands.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/EO1_9011.jpg" style_type="bottomshadow" hover_type="none" bordersize="0px" borderradius="0" align="none" linktarget="_self" animation_type="0" animation_direction="down" animation_speed="0.1" hide_on_mobile="no"] [/fusion_imageframe][fusion_text] Your gift can change Cristina’s life.

A couple of days ago, I received news from Liuda and Eugen, the house parents of our deaf home, that they had urgent requests from FOUR NEW DEAF GIRLS , “Do you have space for me?” Many of you remember the story of the eighteen orphan girls on a park bench, and how Chrissie and I had to choose three and[/fusion_text][/fusion_builder_column][fusion_builder_column type="1_1" layout="1_1" background_position="left top" background_color="" border_size="" border_color="" border_style="solid" spacing="yes" background_image="" background_repeat="no-repeat" padding="" margin_top="0px" margin_bottom="0px" class="" id="" animation_type="" animation_speed="0.3" animation_direction="left" hide_on_mobile="no" center_content="no" min_height="none" last="no" hover_type="none" link="" border_position="all"][fusion_text]lose fifteen because we did not have room for them all. This Christmas time, the unbearable and unimaginable has happened again . I asked Liuda and Eugen if we had room in our current home for them and the terrible response came, “There is only space for one.” We at the ministry have been praying and fasting for a solution to this crisis. I received a call yesterday that we have the opportunity of buying a duplex with a combined eight bedrooms. This will allow us to expand our deaf home in an incredible way. We can secure the home with a deposit of $40,000, and with the owner carrying financing at 0%, the monthly costs would be lower than what we currently pay to rent. As you read this, four young lonely orphaned hearts are waiting for a place to call home this Christmas. As we were praying (and frankly saying how impossible this is in such a short space of time) the thought came to my heart, “ Would you make space for four deaf orphans for a gift of $200? ” If 200 people can think that thought this Christmas, they and the four “sisters” already in our care truly will be home for Christmas . We are asking God for an immediate miracle. If you feel that you can be one of the 200 giving $200, call this number (334-866-0069) or give online ( www.theorphanshands.org ) and let us know. Winter’s brutality is already on its way in Moldova and four young hearts are desperately awaiting our reply. The Cameron’s want to wish you a very merry and blessed Christmas as we look forward to God’s help and guidance in the New Year! We Love You!
