The Hannah House
This month we would like to present to you a brand new opportunity of outreach for Anchor of Hope – The Hannah House. The Hannah House will be a home where orphaned girls can come live and continue their education after they have become too old to stay at the orphanage. It is a ministry that is very near and dear to our hearts, and we are hoping to see it come to fruition in the not too distant future. “Hannah” means “grace of God.” Grace means “favor; good will; kindness.” God extended His favor and kindness to us when He offered us the free gift of salvation.
The Bible tells us in Ephesians 2:8,9, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.” It is our desire to pass along not only this message of grace, but to offer grace (i.e., favor, good will, kindness) in a tangible way. We want The Hannah House to offer good will and kindness to these young orphan girls, who at the vulnerable age of sixteen are sent out of the orphanage to fend for themselves.
The Hannah House will be a place of love, security, and acceptance for these abandoned girls. At this time, there is only one place that we know of for these girls to go - a Pentecostal girl’s home in a village not too far from Chisinau. However, we would like to have the ability to house and care for these young ladies and train them up in the way that they should go. We want to provide a safe, loving atmosphere for that offers hope and training to these special girls, and it is exciting to see how God is already working to make this come true.
First, in September, we welcomed a visit from Joann Hughes. She heard of our ministry here in Moldova through Bro. John O’Malley and became burdened for the people of Moldova. During her visit here, Joann felt the call of God to work with these orphaned teenage girls and is currently raising funds to come work here on a permanent basis.
Secondly, God has opened the door for us to rent a home not far from the church building, which would be a perfect location for The Hannah House! The girls leave the orphanage with very little, and they will need many things to get started in school and to start their new life here in the city. Please pray and consider how you might be able to become involved with and take part in this wonderful ministry.
The Bible tells us in Psalm 127:1, “Except the LORD build the house, they labor in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.” We know that for The Hannah House to become a reality, we need the grace and help of God. We desire to be a “watchman” over these girls and look forward to seeing how God is going to bring this new ministry to fruition.
