The food and nutrition provided for poor children in the Philippines is more important to them than most of us realize. See below.

July 11, 2015. Someone needs an emergency ministry of encouragement. Could that possibly be you? Loving Jesus with all your heart and serving Him in His call on your life does not exempt you from discouragement and sagging hope. The very best current day followers of Jesus still, and maybe especially, need encouragement and renewal of their strength. Paul in particular was an apostle, teacher, pastor and worker of miracles. He discipled many people. Yet, he was often discouraged. He instructed those of his day, and those of today as well, to encourage one another.

 

2 Thessalonians 2:16-17 (NIV) "May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word."  Ras Robinson

 


July 11, 2015. This is the time to restrain your words. You don't want to sin. That would not be good. Now is not the time for you to pursue what happened. Now is a time for healing. Now is the time of comfort. Trust Me to comfort you. Trust Me to heal. You just do what I say, what I speak to you in the depth of your soul. Let Me handle the situation. Let Me handle all parties involved. You don't know all that is involved. Thus you need remain quiet.

 

Proverbs 10:19-20 (NASB) "When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, But he who restrains his lips is wise.The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver, The heart of the wicked is worth little." Bev Robinson

 


July 11, 2015. Your eyes are dry and your faith is cold. Because of past let downs you have experienced, you've become embittered towards things that are fresh and new. You have what some would say is a "has been" mentality. You now live in a safe zone world which is full of stories of old. Turn loose of past disappointments and come to My well which never runs dry. At times, it has been vain imaginations and grandiose expectations which have brought you to this point. These past disappointments have developed proven character.

 

1 Peter 5:10 (NLT) "In his kindness God called you to share in his eternal glory by means of Christ Jesus. So after you have suffered a little while, he will restore, support, and strengthen you, and he will place you on a firm foundation." Kevin Robinson

Ministry to Children in the Philippines

A group of sponsored children come to the pastor's home for breakfast early in the morning before school. This meal is so important to them. They don't have food at home so would go to school hungry if they go at all. A hungry child is not healthy and alert and does not do well in school. Many times if there is no food, they don't want to wake up at all and go to school.

The pastors of the children get up very early to prepare breakfast for the children. Your gifts sent to "Food for Learning" mean hungry children will have food to eat. The last 2 months we have had to reduce the amount of money sent for food because, for several months, we sent more than we received and came to the end of the reserves. It has been hard for the pastors to stretch the money for food, but they continue to see God provide in miraculous ways.

Your help to feed the children does wonders. When the children get the nutrition they need, they are healthier, happier, more alert and their attendance and grades are better. Maybe you don't feel you can commit to sponsor one or more children, but you have a heart to give to the poor. Pray about giving to provide good food and nutrition for very poor children in the Philippines. You will find a link below that makes it easy to give your gift online.
