When I repeat the phrase over and over...BE A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS...do you usually think of adults doing something to get the word out about the plight of the orphans around the world? Take a look at what one YOUNG VOICE CAN DO...

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (NEWSCHANNEL 3) - A West Michigan girl with a big heart isn't even 13 yet, but she's already helped hundreds of kids around the globe.
Hannah Weal lives in Kalamazoo, and says that a couple years ago, she woke up feeling down, and looked to her teddy bear for comfort.
She realized that if it could make her feel better, it could make other kids feel better too, so she set out to do it.
Hannah admires Mother Teresa, so she decided to collect stuffed animals for orphans in Calcutta, India.
She named her project Hannah Hopes.
This year, Hannah is sending love to orphans in Bulgaria and The Philippines.
She's collected around 215 stuffed animals so far, but is hoping for 1,000.
If you would like to donate toys or money to help pay for postage, you can do it through Hope Reformed Church in Kalamazoo.
The phone number there is (269) 349-9788.
Stuffed animal donations are requested to be small rather than large for ease of overseas shipping

Hannah Hopes and Ting Ministries are teaming up for this project! Hannah is collecting the animals, making the tags, and shipping to our location here in Pennsylvania so that we can then get the special stuffed animals to orphans in Bulgaria and the Philippines! WE might even have the opportunity to share the animals with street children in the Philippines! This is exciting when you view the tags and the love that is put into the tags for each animal. Hannah shares that God is love on the tags. Hannah HOPES that each child that is touched by animal would come to know the LOVE OF JESUS. It is my prayer that each life touched by one of these animals is a life changed by the power of LOVE...by the power of God...by the Power of JESUS Christ and HIS REDEEMING LOVE!
Hannah is turning 13 years old! She is being a voice for the voiceless. I am humbled and blessed by this precious young girl and excited to watch what the LORD will do with this very special project and her young life!
I Timothy 4: 12 says "Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity."
If you have any desire to help please contact me at tingministries@comcast.net and/or you can donate to the shipping costs on the sidebar. If you would like to donate to the purchase of animals for the orphans you may also do that on the sidebar by the same chip in and designate what you would like the amount to go towards.You can also donate animals to be sent for the orphans. If you live near to the Pennsylvania location you may mail them directly to Ting Ministries. Please email me and I will share with you the shipping address. If you live closer to Kalamazoo, Michigan please call Hannah Hopes (Courtney Weal 269-271-1037)!
Some of Hannah's favorite phrases on her flyer to raise animals for the orphans are below:
-What we can do with little bit of love and God’s help
- We LOVE because God first loved us
-Live with compassion
-God is Love 1 John 4:8
Hannah is one extraordinary child of God that is using her gifts and talents and compassion to give to others! I can not even begin to imagine what the LORD could for the orphans if we as adults took a simple plan and allowed the LORD to make it HIS!
BE A VOICE FOR THE VOICELESS...Hannah is....
Stay tuned for updates on the amount of animals that Hannah HOPES COLLECTS!
Proverbs 31: 8 - 9
I am so very humbled by this post Stephanie! When Hannah started this 3 years ago, I would never imagine how the Lord would bless it. It's amazing how many lives have changed because of these animal... including Hannah's herself. Hannah wants me to let everyone know that someday she will take these animals herself, but right now she is happy for the help! Thanks again Stephanie for your help. I am blessed to call you my friend!
