Introducing the brand new Visiting Orphans Promo Video

Visiting Orphans is excited to share our brand new promo video! We've made a lot of changes in the past year and we wanted to clearly communicate those things. We hope that you will watch the video all the way through as there is so much new and exciting things happening at VO. We were blessed to have several team members and ministry partners speak from their perspective on this video, as well as a number of our staff members. We hope that this video will give a clear picture of the heart of Visiting Orphans.

Please check it out and help us spread the word by sharing it on facebook, twitter and blogs. Thank you!

Updates: July 19, 2013

Wow - we haven't updated in awhile on here. I'm going to try to do better about that. We keep our VO facebook pretty updated but have clearly neglected our blog. Sorry for the delay.

As many of y'all know - our Event/Marketing Coordinator Amanda Herdina left VO at the end of May to move to Rwanda to work with one of our partner ministries there for a year. We are so proud of her for stepping out in faith to do this, although we do miss her like crazy already. If you want to keep up with her journey via her blog - you can do so here: http://www.heartstohope.org/

Lots of great stuff going on at Visiting Orphans. Keep your eyes open next week - we have something very exciting to share with you! And for you bloggers out there - we're looking for help in promoting this big something next week. You can sign up to help here.

Right now, we have teams loving big in the following places: a medical team in Rwanda, 2 teams visiting different orphanages in different parts of China, a team going to Uganda & Kenya, an India team out and an Ethiopia team that leaves today. It's busy season at VO and we love how so many people are willing to go be love to children and communities around the world.

We couldn't do what we do without those who are willing to go and those who are willing to give. One way to support the ministry of Visiting Orphans is by purchasing merchandise on our online store. Right now, have a new and super cute stylish shirt available for pre-sale ($25) and we set a goal to sell 50 of them by today. We have 14 left to sell to reach that goal!!! If you aren't on facebook and haven't seen our links, you can buy one by clicking on the links below (available in two colors).






Here's a close-up view of the front artwork (the back is blank). It says Go Be Love at the top and "As I have loved you, Love one another. John 13:34" in the branches.
