This beautiful and precious young lady is one of our sponsored "scholars" in the Philippines. Her family is extremely poor and there are many problems, but you would never know it because of the joy of the Lord in her countenance and the thankfulness in her words. She just celebrated her 22 birthday.
Last year one of our pastors wrote me about her. She desperately wanted to finish school, but had not been able to attend for 6 years. Could we help -- even though she was older? We said yes and assigned her to one of our most faithful sponsors. She is in 9th grade and now hopes to finish a degree in information technology. Her life has been changed in so many ways. Furthermore, several of her family members have been saved and are now growing in the Lord through the discipleship of two of our wonderful FCM pastors.
When I was in her church last week, she could not express enough her thankfulness. Here is a message from her: "I'm so thankful to God for He chooses you to help us.
I can't imagine myself when I think back about my past life. I was a hopeless one.
But now I'm so thankful, because I have Jesus in my life!"
