Dear Friends,

I need to share my joy and excitement with you today!

As many of you know, we have had a struggle finding the three required board members for The Hope of Survivors–Canada. Not having three board members has caused our incorporation process in Canada to stall for quite some time.

Ready for the good news? We now have our three official board members: Daniel Saugh, Rose Rogers and Caroline Winship. I am waiting on photos and bios from Daniel and Rose still, but wanted to introduce you to Caroline. She will be our Canadian victim support representative, as well as a board member. Finally, we can proceed with the incorporation process and get THOS-CA back up and running! Praise the Lord!

“Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.“–Psalm 27:14

In other news, we await a potential major donation to help support the Romania Division (the need to hire a full-time employee there), and we are in the process of obtaining a new phone number and website for the Australia Division so Jasmin can begin the work God has called her to do through THOS-AU. Shyleene could use assistance in the Latino Division, if you or someone you know is bilingual and able to help. Jackie from our Pastors’ Wives’ Division happened to be in Canada the same time as us (presently) and so we were able to meet and discuss the growing needs of that division as well.

There are a few seminars and exhibits coming up this quarter also, and we expect God to make Divine appointments with victims at each location, as He always does!

I pray you will be blessed by the testimonials shared in this newsletter and that you will consider supporting The Hope of Survivors and all its divisions around the world with your prayers and financial support.

God bless you,
Samantha Nelson
CEO
