Heart To Heart Orphans USA (HTHOU) was started to help spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ by serving impoverished Christian ministries who lack the means to serve those less fortunate. The plight of a ministry was brought to the forefront in 2013 when a young Marine, stationed at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina had the oppertunity to visit her brother, a missionary in Sudan. Her travels took her to Kenya, where she was introduced to Heart to Heart Orphans Children Centre, located in Nairobi. . She was given an opportunity to give a presentation to some members of her local church. The presentation highlighted a visit she made to see her brother, a missionary in Sudan. While in Sudan, she traveled to Kenya and visited a ministry called Heart To Heart Orphans Children Centre (HTHOCC). The presentation featured the poverty of the slums and the many needs of the people in Kenya. It was at that time that the Norvell's became interested and wanted to become involved. Elizabeth connected them up with Mary Khainga, one of the founding members from the Heart to Heart organization in Nairobi.
ABOUT US
This connection allowed the Norvell's to provide different means of sponsorship for individuals. In 2017, they traveled to Kenya to visit HTHOCC. While there, they met the people they sponsored and saw firsthand how God was using Mary and the staff of Heart To Heart to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. They saw how lives had been transformed and they the love for Jesus in those who had so little. They also observed the many needs that still needed to be met. Matthew 9:37 - Then saith he unto his disciples, "The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few;”. Upon their return to the United States, after praying in earnest, they felt the Lord was calling them to start Heart to Heart Orphans USA.
