New Hope for Orphans
Mike Hyodo, World Community Service Committee Chairperson, introduced Friday’s speaker, John Shane, Director New Hope Outreach Ministries, headquartered in Elma, Washington. Mike prefaced John’s remarks by saying his committee and the BBRC are sponsoring an outreach project to Perm, Russia, in May. “Perm is a city of one million people located a thousand miles from Moscow (Russia). Our team will be building a dental clinic and partnering with New Hope Outreach to help the orphanage there. A container will be loaded this week with our dental equipment, food, clothing and toys.” Mike presented a check in the amount of $6,000 to Mr. Shane for his New Hope Outreach. Others on the project team in May include Steve Lingenbrink, Tanya Davis, Nina No, Andrew Mirinof, Steve Brown, and Pastor Greg Van Sapp. MORE
