| Thank you for making it possible for us to help many during the Christmas season. We were able to help widows and orphans in Kenya, India, Pakistan and Philippines Thank you for helping us make their Christmas special! All of our partners have been great! ODMI has been surrounded with prayer warriors and gracious givers. We have been able to help so many. With your help ODMI has truly been a "Light in Darkness!" We have seen many saved, healed and delivered! Many fed, clothed and given hope and a future. We have great news for 2010! GRM - Gospel Revelation Ministries with Rev. James Gay will be teaming up with ODMI! This is great news! With the help of GRM we will be able to send more brothers and sisters out into the mission field. This means more ground covered and more souls healed, delivered and saved! This also means an increase in financial needs. With an increase in funding we will see more people fed, clothed and educated! Thank you, God, for the hearts of your people willing to go to the nations with the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ! Thank you for the increase we will see in Your Kingdom! Our plans for 2010 are to visit both Pakistan and India. We are planning a walk-a-thon in May along with other fund raisers as well. We will also continue to help, encourage and support our other ministries all over the world. Our main focus will be the orphanages and sister churches in Pakistan, India, Kenya and Philippines. We will do whatever we can for our sisters and brothers in Sri Lanka. Brother Waruna, in Sri Lanka works continuously to bring funds in to help his people. He also visits Kenya, Pakistan and India and does what he can to help the widows and orphans in all these areas. Our goal is to not only help financially, but it is our desire to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to the Muslim, Buddhist, Hindus, magicians of Pakistan and so many more. God has used us to help equip many in ways they can bring in an income for their families and church. It has been a humbling experience to be part of ODMI. We are thankful for all God has done, doing and going to do. Yes, we are very thankful to you! One day we know we will see many schools, orphanages and churches built al in the name of Jesus! |

Pakistan
Pastor Ishaq Khokhar
Pastor Ishaq does so
much for the Kingdom

Their churches and
Bibles were burnt.
Many were killed and

How many of you know about the “Great Commission” The last command Jesus spoke to His disciples “Go and make disciples of all nations” In other words – Go to the nations and share the good news Share the Gospel of Jesus Christ Don’t keep it to yourself That’s exactly what we are doing ODMI sends ordinary people - like you and me – to do extraordinary acts for God Most Christians in America live boring, humdrum lives Never stepping out of their comfort zone and never doing anything radical for God We all are responsible to obey the “Great Commission” I’m here to challenge you to do something radical for Christ We all know He did something radical for us There’s no denying that Let me share a little about ODMI We have churches, schools and orphanages in Philippines, Kenya, India, and Pakistan Sri Lanka is trying to raise funds right now to open a Christian school for girls In most of these countries girls do not have the same opportunities as boys Being a grandmother of three girls I can understand how these parents feel They love their daughters just like we love ours And they want what’s right for their daughters and their sons Every child – male and female deserves to be clothed, eat a good meal and have a descent education Christian schools take money Although many of the workers volunteer their time They still need to pay their teachers and have safe buildings Trust me – these buildings are nothing like the school buildings we have in America Most have dirt floors – no roof or very little roof Most places, the children sit on mats on the floor And – if you’re going to have a school you’re going to have to supply food All of this can become expensive Good news is, our dollar can go very far in these other countries We are able to help pay teachers – feed and clothe many for very little India and Kenya both have many orphans and widows who suffer from the Aides virus The amazing thing is – no matter how much these people suffer – they continue to smile And they continue to thank God and praise Him with all their hearts Many of these ministers risk their lives daily for the gospel They need our help They need our help financially and physically They need our prayers but they also need us to put action with our prayers Our churches in America are full of gifted people who never get used Well – we want to use you! We need your help to help bring an increase to God’s Kingdom Perhaps you’re out there and you would want to be a team member – actually going to the nations Kenya, Philippines, India, Pakistan Your God given destiny awaits! You don’t have to go to seminary first All you need is to be rooted and grounded in the love of Jesus Christ And a heart to serve and see souls saved ODMI can equip you to go to the nations! Perhaps your congregation or you individually would like to adopt a school, orphanage or church However you can do it – just do it We are asking you – a fellow disciple of Jesus Christ – to help us help others! Thank you! God bless! Pastor Cheryl Hobba Open Door Ministries International Gospel Revelation Ministries Hurricane, WV |
Philippines, Pastor Roy Malpas, a great servant of God!!!
Pator Roy and his wife Evelyn are always looking for ways
to help others. They feed many hungry children and take
care of countless widows and orphans. They hold school
to educate along with many church services in a very
small building. We are believing God for a larger building
for them. We have already began to purchase the land.
For Christmas Pastor Roy, along with many volunteers
went to the slum area to help feed and bathe many
children. Yes bathe! Something we take for granted!
They were all willing to give up their own towels and soap
- something many of them do without! Their request was
to have something to offer these children, soap,
toothbrushes, rice, apples... so sad! God did provide!!!

| Kenya, Pastor Lucas Obanda ODMI recently visited Mumias, Kenya. With your help, we were able to take new clothing and multivitamins to many of the orphans. The need is still great. Many of the widows and orphans are infected with the HIV virus. Pastors in the area work diligently to reach the remote villages. Due to a drought there is a tremendous lack of food and many are becoming ill. With your help we can provide safe food for these wonderful people Pastor Lucas and his wonderful wife, Jane, take care of many orphans, With your help they all were able to have a blessed Christmas! Thank you! |
