His Love Never Fails 
Manassero Family

Greetings in the name of our blessed Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,

 

We are so very thankful for the Lord's continued blessings, provision and faithfulness.

 He who is the same yesterday, today and forever - is the very definition of faithfulness 

 

In two months, we will join together with some of you who have been a part of this ministry, to give thanks and to celebrate our Lord's faithfulness and enduring love.

 

The theme for our Celebration Dinners is taken from 1 Corinthians, chapter 13 -  known by most of us who have attended wedding ceremonies, as the "Love Chapter."

 

After a long list of what the true attributes of love are, it ends with three words -- "Love never fails."   

 

For those of us here, on the ground in Haiti, those three words speak volumes.

 

Since the beginning of our service in Haiti, His love has been demonstrated time and time again.

 

We have seen His love daily in His unceasing patience with us.  As we seek to do His will but don't always make the best decisions, He still continues to love us.  

 

As our children struggle with past hurts, pain and disappointments, they are constantly reassured of His love and that He will always and did always love them. 

 

 When we have thrown up our hands in total frustration -- seeming to have no options left -- His resounding commandment rings supreme - "Love one another." 

 

 We used to think that when all else fails, love!  Right?  No.  We've learned the reverse is true - love first and they'll be no failures.  We are learning daily that that is so very true.  The more of God's love we pour into His precious little children the more of Him that pours out of them. 

 

The most beautiful love - Agape love - manifests in His faithfulness.   

 

We see the fruit of His amazing perfect love all around us -- in the eyes of a child.

 

God bless you. 

 

In Christ's Love  

in Haiti, 

 

The Manasseros

Our January 2012 Missions Teams

 

Wellspring Christian Fellowship
Wellspring Missions Team What a wonderful team to kick off our year!  We have Wellspring Fellowship to thank for completely renovating our guest house last year and making it what it is today! Thank you Wellspring Fellowship for praying over our staff members and encouraging them, for leading our girl's Bible study for a night, for working on welding projects and repairs, for raising money to get a transformer set up to bless us with steady electricity flow at all our facilities, and for blessing us and the kids with a very special trip to the beach!  Can't wait to have you again next year!   


Mission Viejo Christian Church
MVCC Missions TeamMVCC are long time friends of Child Hope and home church to our little boys' house mom, Cindy. During their trip they held a dental clinic where they worked on both our kids and staff.  They even got to treat a man from the neighborhood who had multiple abscesses in his gums!  MVCC also undertook the project of registering all 130 kids, staff members, and helpers of our feeding program and making picture name badges for each of them.  There are too many amazing things to mention in this newsletter, but visit their blog to read about and see more pictures from the rest of their trip: http://mvcchaiti.blogspot.com/ God bless you for the love you poured out, your prayers, and for all your hard work!
