Continuing Our Support for Orphans in Gambella

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
 
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my heartfelt gratitude for your continued support, John Dodson and the team and involvement in African Relief Ministries’ mission to Gambella, Ethiopia this past July. Your dedication and encouragement have made a significant impact on the orphans, and your presence at the A.R.M. center provided much-needed hope not only to the children but also to the surrounding community and widows.
 
The needs of the orphans are ongoing, overwhelming, and we are currently focusing on two critical initiatives:

1.    Building - the Orphanage School: To provide a stable and enriching educational environment

for the children.
     
2.    Monthly - Incentives for Program Staff: To ensure the continued dedication of our team,

including:

   •   12 teachers
     •   12 cooks
     •   2 security guards
     •   5 poultry workers
     •   5 staff who run the daily affairs of ARM leadership at the Center
 
Supporting these initiatives is a substantial responsibility that requires collective effort. Your continued involvement is crucial to the success of these programs. Together, we can share this responsibility and ensure that the essential support for these programs remains uninterrupted.
 
I also kindly ask for your assistance in reaching out to others who may be interested in supporting this cause. There are many individuals who may be moved to

contribute once they understand the current needs of the orphans.
 
Should you have any questions or require additional information, please feel free to contact me directly at 817-492-6859.
 
Thank you once again for your unwavering support and for standing with us in this vital mission. Your contributions provide the orphans with hope and encouragement as they navigate their challenges.
 
In Christ’s love,
 
Rev. Michael Gatkek
