From Despair to Dignity: Roza’s Journey of Hope
Meet Roza Birara, a 17 year old in Ethiopia. She is currently in grade 8, and living with her mother and siblings. This would not be possible without support from Global Orphan Relief.
We have been partnering with Life Center Ethiopia to serve orphans and widows in Ethiopia since 2022. We provide Home-Based Care support for 25 Orphan children that allows them to be in a home with a loving family. We are honored to work in Ethiopia to care for orphan children.

June 2024 Mission
June is no different as we have set out to care for more than 2,700 orphan children in our three care initiatives; Home-Based Care, Education, and Nutrition and plan to impact another 12,600 children through our Church Mobilization efforts.
We look forward to seeing what God does with us next!
2024 Reach 10/40 Mission Deployment
2024 Reach 10/40 Mission. I am ramping up preparation for a return to Asia for our Reach 10/40 Mission. I am eager to meet with the Pastors there that have been instrumental in our Church Mobilization Initiative roll-out.
This mission should result in 325 GO! Ambassadors being commissioned, which will eventually benefit 1,973 orphan children. We can project these expectations based on data that we have collected on the five workshops conducted in Asia thus far over the last year.
State of Our Movement
The State of our Movement is strong. We raised more funding in 2023 than any time in our ministry with 224 Funding Partners that provided a total of $384,076 during the year. In the field, we impacted a record number of children with 16,196 impacted in December, which was made possible by the hard work of thirteen Field Partners who facilitated work in sixteen distinct Mission Projects in six countries.
Christmas Blessing
Eighteen years ago, we were preparing to deploy our family to Juarez, Mexico, for our very first international mission. We were busy gathering gifts for 20 children that year along with some other supplies for an orphanage located there. It was an exciting time venturing into the unknown with only our faith to guide us!
While we might be larger as a group than eighteen years ago, we also have many commitments that didn’t exist then. It was a simpler time, but our faith continues to guide us into the unknown.

Creating the Future
Together, what we are really doing is creating the future, and this is not just any future, but a better future for all. You see, orphan children are not the only ones to be blessed by this work. The result is that each of us is encouraged by others in our movement.
The way forward is a posture of abundance and not of scarcity.
