OPERATION HOPE – KUWAIT

A Mission of Mercy

January 10, 2007

Greetings and a blessed 2008 to one and all! I begin this year firmly trusting that the LORD will continue to bless OH's outreach to the neediest of Kuwait's needy third-country-nationals.

This update will be brief but rather focused brothers and sisters. The balance currently outstanding for coats purchased, packed and distributed remains at KD 12,738.

Broken down it is equivalent to:

· 12.5 donations of KD 1,000 each OR

· 26 donations of KD 500 each OR

· 1,273 donations of KD 10 each OR. . .

. . . I think you get what I'm saying here.

This country is FULL of people who can afford a KD 10 donation and wouldn't even feel a dent in their pocket!

Most of us have heard of the late John D. Rockefeller. He was one of the wealthiest men who ever lived. When Mr. Rockefeller's accountant was asked about the total sum of what he left behind, the accountant replied, "He left all of it." My point ~ we CAN'T take what we own with us when we leave planet Earth but we CAN make a difference in someone's life today!

I want to begin 2008 with a challenge. I ask that you would consider making a donation of KD 10 today (even if you've made a donation before). I also challenge you to ask your family, friends, and colleagues to also make donations of KD 10 each.

The investment I am challenging you and your loved ones to make is small, however the return is enormous.

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger and you invited me in. I needed clothes and you clothed me; I was sick and you looked after me; I was in prison and you came to visit me.' Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in; or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' Matthew 25:34-40

What OH does for the "least of these" is done for the LORD. Please join us in serving Him as we continue to serve those in need.

God bless,
