From Executive Director John McCollum

Director’s letter  

Dear friends,

This year, we’ve been celebrating the start of our third decade. Looking back at our founding decade, and our fortifying decade, we are anticipating a decade of flourishing.

We believe that over the next ten years, God will deepen our impact and widen our reach, for the benefit of orphaned and vulnerable kids at Asia’s Hope — and in other places around the world as we mentor other organizations wishing to emulate the success of our family-style care model.

After the frustrations brought by a couple years of Covid-related travel restrictions, 2022 brought back a sense of normalcy in my ability to connect with our staff and kids. In fact, I visited all 35 of our homes in all three of our counties. And, we welcomed our directors from Cambodia and Thailand to the U.S. for the entire month of October.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to return to in-person work at the office in the U.S., and for the great executive staff we have here: Director of Strategic Partnerships Roxi Larsen, Director of Media Benjamin Hiltner, Fiscal Resources Manager Jeremiah Nguapha and Administrator Carol Wardell.

And, as always, I’m blessed beyond measure by the opportunity to work with our outstanding leadership team: the board of Asia’s Hope — Rachel Cobb, Glenn Kelly, Adam Heath, Keith Wong and Ron Biddle — and our country directors, Savorn Ou, Tutu Abourmad, Sunil Tamang and Amber Gurung.

Thanks to your generosity, the prayers of our staff and kids, and the goodness of God, we finished 2022 in a strong position, both financially and operationally. And we’re ready to flourish in 2023 and beyond.

I hope you’ll take a minute or two to read this year-in-review. I’m sure you’ll be encouraged by what God’s doing through the ministry of Asia’s Hope.

Warmly,

John McCollum, Executive Director
