Daniel’s New Year Message
As we step into a new year together, I find myself returning to this enduring promise of God’s faithfulness. “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning.” (Lamentations 3:22–23)
We serve a God who never changes, never fails, never stops pouring out His love on His creation. Today, we anchor into that faithfulness, which allows us to continue serving vulnerable children, families and communities around the world with great compassion.
As we enter this new year, we’re also reminded that God is doing a fresh work each day. We carry confidence and a hope in His transforming power, bringing new beginnings and renewed futures to families.
As we work in challenging places, our hope continues to be found in Christ. While we do our part to steward resources and implement projects with excellence, only God writes the final story of redemption and restoration in every life.
Thank you for walking with ERDO over the past year. Your prayers, encouragement and partnership mean more than you may realize. As we look ahead, I invite you to pray for ERDO — for wisdom, discernment, protection, and for God’s continued guidance as we serve those who are in greatest need.
May the Lord bless you and keep you in the year ahead, and may His faithfulness be evident every morning,
Daniel Lepojarvi, CEO
