Have you considered sponsoring a child in another country? It is amazing what a difference only $1 a day can make in a young life. See below.

January 29, 2015. Above all things, you should desire to please your Heavenly Father. Likewise, to the extent that you can, you would be wise and prudent to please your earthly father (and mother). If you have not done this or if you are not doing this now, start this moment with a pure heart to love your fathers (heavenly and earthly). Be sure to forgive where there has been failure, hurt or hard feelings. Give reasons for your fathers to delight in you and your soul. Blessed are you when you do it.

 

Proverbs 29:17 (NASB) "Correct your son, and he will give you comfort; He will also delight your soul." Ras Robinson

  


January 29, 2015.  A lot is going on, almost more than you can handle. Step back. Take a fresh overview. There is time for what must be done, but some of what is making you feel overwhelmed are extraneous things. Put them aside until there is more time available. Rank in order what must be done. I've called you to rest and to walk in peace, but a part of rest and peace is taking the time to get things aligned. This will cause your heart to be peaceful and full of thankfulness.

 

Colossians 3:17 (NIV) "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." Bev Robinson

 


January 29, 2015. Portray love in the fullest sense. More than that, see to it that you act upon what you know is right and true. When a brother or sister stumbles, make the conscious effort to cover their misstep or calamity. Too often some are quick to pass judgment over what they perceive to be the cause for the stumbling without knowing the whole story. Whenever you have been tripped up in some form or fashion, all you desire is compassion and understanding. Be about covering and bearing up one another in their weaknesses.

 

1 Corinthian 13:7 (NASB) "bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." Kevin Robinson

Ministry to Children in the Philippines

The children God gave us in the Philippines have many things to fear. They fear earthquakes and typhoons. They fear not having enough to eat. They fear many things we know little about. You might be surprised to find out that the one thing most of them fear the most is that their sponsor will stop sponsoring them and they will not be able to go to school. 

 

We are faced with a difficult situation we have not known since 2008 when the economy was so bad that many of the sponsors lost their jobs and could no longer sponsor the children. We lost many sponsors at that time and had to reduce the number of children that were sponsored. Thankfully the number was reduced by attrition and we did not have to say to any of the children that they would no longer be sponsored. In all the 13 years we have sponsored children, we have never had to cut off a child.

 

At this time, we are facing the problem again. In recent weeks several sponsors, for different reasons, have had to stop sending the money for the children. We can cover this for a brief time with general operating funds, but not for long.

 

Would you be willing to pick up sponsorship for one or more of the children or teens who no longer has a sponsor? Sponsoring a child makes a life-changing impact.
