Hi y'all!
This year is ending too quickly! Time seems to really be going fast these days with so much to do! It is the end of the school year. God has blessed us this year. Of course there have been some complaints, seems there are always some problems when God does bless. But truly these days, there is a good attitude, with thankfulness and God working in lives. Last Sunday night a mother of a kindergartner in the school came to church. She and her family are not churchgoers. But she was truly moved by Bob's message on how much the Lord has done for us, and all it cost Him. She had tears in her eyes as she left, realizing her need of God in her and her family's lives. She thanked us for the school and the influence it is having here. So that was a blessing for us. Pray for Isabel and her family. 5 yr. old Victor is "graduating" into first grade. Thanks so very much for your prayers for the lives touched by the school. Please help us pray this will be the beginning of many more. Please help us pray for the school year closing program, later this month, that God be glorified in each presentation and that parents and families be drawn closer to Him.
Along this line, we are SO thankful for a team of two families and a couple single guys here now working on building 3 classrooms on the roof of the next door building for the school. These dear folks from North Carolina are such a blessing, in their sacrificial service to us, to the church here, and to the school. Lots more will be needed, and we do pray to be able to demolish the third building and at least get a base built there for an auditorium during the vacation. This is the big project. We are so thankful to you who have helped us. Thanks, and keep praying, please, for this need. May it all be for the Lord's glory and kingdom.
Thanks for praying for the radio, too. Alvaro has been having some health problems again. Please do pray for the Lord's keeping him and family. They do broadcast 16 hours daily, a lot of God's Word, including Bob's Bible studies, other good Christian programs and good music.
This year has been a year of weddings! Of course, some funerals too. These have been opportunities to share the Gospel with unbelieving family members, plus encourage and disciple new believers. Please help us pray for our families and homes. Satan does attack these areas.
Thanks for praying for the orphans I have been mentioning in the letters. Abram and Maria still are not adopted, nor do we know of anyone who could do this. But please keep praying. It may work out that they can go back into a Christian children's home. They do need godly guidance in their lives, and desire to be there. We just want God's best for them. So, thanks for praying.
Even though Jesus probably was not born in December, we are so very thankful He came! And we pray each of you will have a very blessed, joyful Christmas season!
Many blessings for each of you, Noél for us

From the Founders
Our organization was recently founded to be able to insure the long-term success of ongoing projects that its president, Rick Daviscourt, founded in the country of Peru, South America, several years back. These include the Torre Fuerte Family Home for Girls located in the city of Arequipa, two schools currently under construction in Pachacutec and Horacio Zevallos, soup kitchens for the very poor, and several churches on an interdenominational basis.
For us at Restoring Hope International we believe that, in many ways, our lives boil down to responsibility. This responsibility must obviously be lived out towards our own immediate families and our counties of origin. However, we believe that it does not stop there. It simply cannot. With the great increase in technologies in every facet of our lives to include that of electronics and means of transportation, our world has grown smaller. We can no longer turn a blind eye to the needs of our neighbors outside of our borders and expect that someone else to supply what they lack. The sad reality is that most people simply will not help. We believe that with the great privilege of living in affluent countries also comes the great responsibility of helping those who cannot help themselves - those who have little or no voice in their societies.

From The Founders
On September 1, 1995 in the village of Pachacutec in Arequipa Peru , we, David and Debbie Bolos, founded New Hope Children's Home. After seeing time and again the homeless and abandoned, God broke our hearts and led us to open up a permanent home for these children. The children of New Hope live with us on a full-time basis where we provide for them spiritually, emotionally, and physically. As these children grow and mature, they remain with us through their college years or until they become established. In what follows, we will share with you some of the experiences that led us to start this ministry and the visions and goals that guide the work of New Hope.Many of the children that come to New Hope have been abandoned and abused; they are the kind of children that no one wants or cares about, the street children of Arequipa , Peru . They are children like Michael, an 8 year old boy found sleeping on the back of a city bus, or Julie, a 7 year old girl found abandoned and wandering the streets of downtown Arequipa; Licia, who at 6 years old was found abandoned and walking the streets of downtown Arequipa, or Maria, who along with her 2 younger brothers, was found abandoned and forced to beg and eat from dumpsters in the back of open markets. I could go on and on, giving you testimony after testimony of the more than 70 children we have taken into New Hope Children's Home over the years. I could spend hours telling you about the more than 700 children we have been forced to turn away due to lack of space and finances at our Home. While the need is considerable, this should not deter the goals and visions we have for our kids.Our goal is simple – it is to teach the children that they are loved by us and by God. By providing a safe shelter for them we hope to prepare them to become leaders in their communities. We further teach them that they have God-given talents and abilities that must be developed. Our desire is to raise a generation of godly leaders since these children are the future of their country. Additionally, we teach them the importance of forgiveness and true love – that they must forgive those who have abandoned and abused them and learn to love through the example of Jesus Christ. I want to thank you so much for your interest in New Hope . We now have 40 children in our home, but have plans to expand our facilities in the near future to include room for at least 100 children and young people. My prayer is that our God would burden you as He has burdened us in the ministry of the poor, the oppressed, and the less fortunate (James 2:14-17).

In Christ, David and Debbie Bolos

thinking about the kids

I was wondering about the kids that i will be going out to meet and then others I hope to reach! and asking my self, what is it all about! Then i remembered these verses.

"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." (James 1:27, NIV)

this is what jesus says to the chrildren and the ones who need help.

"Do not take advantage of a widow or an orphan. If you do and they cry out to me, I will certainly hear their cry." (Exodus 22:22-23, NIV)


"This is then my prayer, and your prayer also that we remember the ones that need love and help. The words by Third Day is my prayer also!"

Cry Out To JesusWords by Mac Powell / Music by Third Day

To everyone who's lost someone they love

Long before it was their time

You feel like the days you had were not enough

when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains

Keeping you back from your life

You believe that there's nothing and there is no one

Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless

Rest for the weary

Love for the broken heart

There is grace and forgiveness

Mercy and healing

He'll meet you wherever you are

Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on

They lost all of their faith in love

They've done all they can to make it right again

Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains

You try to give up but you come back again

Just remember that you're not alone in your shame

And your suffering

When your lonely

And it feels like the whole world is falling on you

You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus

Cry to Jesus

To the widow who struggles with being alone

Wiping the tears from her eyes

For the children around the world without a home

Say a prayer tonight

"lord your love reaches out to all! send me to be a instrument in bringing love to these kids..."

"I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you." John 14:18 (NIV)
