History of Omoa:

In 2005, we were asked to assume the responsibility of owning and operating an orphanage in Omoa, Honduras for young ladies ages 3 through 20 years old.  The work was founded by Dennis and Nora Suisse (assisted by Dean Cary) in 1991, and known as the “Caribbean Christian Orphanage & Outreach”.  

Included is the transfer of all assets consisting of accounts, orphanage land and facilities, church land and facilities, several vehicles and etc.  Assets are unencumbered and valued at several hundred thousand dollars. 

Lifeline’s Board of Directors met and prayerfully considered the various pros and cons.   As always, the first objective was to be in God’s perfect will, to the best of our ability.  It was next determined that with His apparent leading, if certain conditions and concerns prevailed, we would accept the aforementioned responsibilities. 

Much research and planning continued, as did notifications and support inquiries to existing CCO&O contributors.  ...God is soooo good; He opened doors and answered prayers!  We are now pleased to report that:

1. The property and real estate transfers were completed October 27, 2005.
2. Regular church services resumed in September and are going very well.
3. Pastor Antonio Orellana (wife Maya) will serve as Orphanage Administrator. He graduated from Colegio Biblico and is also pastor of our Ocotillo congregation.
4. Pastor Carlos Cojon and wife Paty will  serve as house parents and pastor.  Carlos is a graduate of Colegio Biblico and Central America Mission with accounting and orphanage administration experience.

We covet your prayers; please pray for: the precious girls, staff, new personnel, building relationships, continuing support and, of course, the development of an effective and Godly program to serve His precious children in Honduras.  Thanks for your concern, support and prayers!
