What's been happening at HHH lately.....and what is next!

It's time once again to update you on all that God has been doing in HHH's exciting ministry!

  1. What an amazing response we have seen on our Nehemiah Wall Project!!  To date the Nehemiah Project has been able to send $44,000 raised to All God's Children for the work being done on the wall.  It is now 3/4 completed!  Praise God as he is providing protection for the Hogar Amor orphanage in Honduras!
  2. Orland Church's Preschool had their annual Trikathon at the end of their school year and peddled their way to raising an awesome $2800 for the Nehemiah Project.  Way to go you incredible kids!
  3. Our recent Rummage (Garage) Sale raised about $4000 towards our adoption cost assistance portion of HHH's ministry.  Thanks to Tammy H. & Allison L for their vision and work on putting on this sale.
  4. We hosted an evening out at Charming Charlies raising $136 from the sales.  But more importantly the night was an opportunity to continue to be able to expose the purpose and awareness of our ministry.

 What are the upcoming HHH events that we'd love to have you join us in?
