WOW!!!! It is that time again, and there is excitment in the air.
For those that are reading this blog and are new to Promise 139 Orphan Hosting Program, let me give you a quick recap of what Promise 139 is all about. Promise 139 is a non-profit organization in Southern Mississippi formed by people that are passionate in helping orphaned children. Our organization consists of adoptive parents and others concerned with the well-being of the fatherless. Our mission is to reach out to the fatherless and make a difference in their future. Promise 139 exists to provide a cultural exchange for underprivileged orphans living in foreign countries. The cultural exchange will be a camp-like experience, which will coincide with their summer breaks from school.
This past summer, we had the honor to host 6 wonderful kids from Sevastopol, which is located in the southern part of Ukraine, and man we had a blast. Each and everyone that had the opportunity to meet these children will, without a doubt, tell you how blessed they were to have time with these kids. Just ask Jim Bob and Crystal Mills. Not only did they fall in love with the children that were here, they had the honor to make two of them part of their forever family. If you haven't had the opportunity to meet them, let me introduce you to Katia and Oleg Mills.

Now on to what we have coming up. The Promise 139 team has been gearing up for this years summer camp. First thing on the agenda, fundraising. We love the opportunity to bring orphans here for summer camps, but lets be honest, it takes money to do it. So, with that being said, we have scheduled an informative Luncheon/Dinner for all to attend. On March 11, we will be hosting a Luncheon for YOU to attend to learn more about who we are and why we are doing what we do. If you are always asking yourself, "what are we going to do for lunch today", well on March 11, I have your answer. Please come and hear more about this wonderful opportunity and Promise139.
Now some are saying, I just can't make if for lunch. Don't worry, we've got you covered. That same night we will be having a dinner for you and your family to come hear and experience our journey as we prepare for this years camp. This event will be geared for the whole family with activities for all ages. If interested, please let us know by sending an email to info@promise139.org.
Our other fundraising activity will be our 1st Annual Promise 139 Golf Tournament. It will be played at the Canebrake Country Club on March 22. If you just want to come out and play, come on out. You can form your own team, or join up as an individual, and we will pair you with a group. Or maybe you want to do more (and I know you do), there are several ways to advertise your company buy purchasing a sponsorship. There are many different levels to choose from, and we would be happy to come talk to you about what would be best for you. Again, you may contact us at info@promise139.org or at russell@promise139.org.
Well I could go on forever, but I will stop here. Please be thinking about how you could help this year. Volunteer, Meals, Financial, etc....
