Stories of Lives Transformed Through Your Support
“Joseph Nisari’s life is a testimony to so much of the good of the late twentieth century and its openness to new situations, new realities, and a new way of being. Educated on three continents, serving effectively in multiple cultures, and struggling to understand his life and ministry for the mystery that it is, Father Joseph has truly been a success…and that success has been a great blessing for the rest of us.”

My Dear ‘Supporters’,
My name is M J…and I am studying in 4th class.
I am very happy to be promoted to my next class in good marks and also happy to take will new school uniform, shoes, books, copies for my new class. I am also happy that my school teacher selected me in school football team. I personally request to our voluntary worker to send my personal letter to MOH so I can share my promotion to next class with him.
I am proud that I am Christian and Jesus Christ is my savior, who gave me my foster parents and their support will give me courage to become more stronger Christian and by getting education which will give me help to show Christian love and spirit to others.
I personally thankful to MOH who provide me all education related materials in time and I don’t feel that I am alone in this part of the world. I am proud that your support will bring greater glory to our Lord Jesus Christ.
Yesterday I was reading the New Testaments in which Jesus Christ said that your Father already know that what you want and I know your all desire needs before your request. I deeply think about you and your ministry who is supporting orphan children in Pakistan.
Dear ‘supporters’ we don’t know each other face to face and you are living in developed country and we are living in third world countries, but our faith is same and we all are followers of Jesus Christ and this is the only one thing which has brought us close to each other and I hope that the name of Jesus will be glorified.
After completing my 10th grade I want to become a priest and want to give my life to Jesus Christ. Please pray for me so I may become a strong Christian and work for His Kingdom.
Please convey my regards and love to all your associate people your family members and your friends and all the voluntary workers of MOH, USA. May Lord Jesus Christ richly bless you and your ministry working for many orphan children around the world and especially in Pakistan and especially for me when I was helpless MOH Pakistan gave me this opportunity to become a good Chrisian by getting education through your support in Pakistan?
With love and best wishes

Become A Missionary, Get in Touch with Us to Make a Difference
When we think of missionaries, we usually imagine a lone priest working years in some foreign land far from civilization. The fact is, all of us are called by Our Lord Himself to spread the “good news”. We can actively participate in “His mission” whenever, wherever, and whoever we are. We can become missionaries. Ironically, the patron saint of all missionaries is St. Theresa of Lisieux, “the Little Flower”, a cloistered nun who never traveled outside her convent in Lisieux, France yet, because of her prayer and exemplary life dedicated to the missions, the Church proclaimed her the patron saint of all missionaries.
So, would you like to be a MOH missionary? Here is how:
- Pray for our students, their families, the people of Pakistan and our organization.
- Offer to volunteer, eg., serve on the MOH board of directors, write pen pal letters to students, do a craft project, tell others, fundraise, etc.
- Donate funds to support our mission.
