July 2025 Prayer Letter

Dear Prayer Partners,

The story Jesus told of the Good Samar­i­tan is pow­er­ful. It is the story of a Samar­i­tan, a for­eigner, moved by com­pas­sion for a wounded trav­eller. The Samar­i­tan, with the love of God in his heart, was moved to min­is­ter to the wounded man and in so doing he was an instru­ment of God’s love and com­pas­sion. In this he over­came prej­u­dice, intol­er­ance, fear and danger. He gen­er­ously gave of himself, his time and money to save a brother on the road of life.

It is a story of great love; a story that brought healing and whole­ness to the wounded trav­eller, but also a pow­er­ful witness of how love breaks down bar­ri­ers that divide people into oppos­ing groups. God’s love in our hearts moves us to do what love requires. We love because God is love, and He first loved us.

I know it is out of love that you, our prayer part­ners, pray for OHFI and the chil­dren, fam­i­lies and com­mu­ni­ties we serve. Thank you for your prayers. Your prayers bring healing and whole­ness into the lives of people, far away and of dif­fer­ent cul­tures, but nev­er­the­less fellow trav­ellers on the road of life. Your prayers also help to break down cul­tural and reli­gious bar­ri­ers enabling us all to be broth­ers and sisters in Christ, loving one another with the love of God.
