Christmas is coming soon. Your donation for Christmas for the children will put some big smiles on the faces of very poor children in the Philippines. See below.

September 26, 2015. You are to leave on a long journey, through uncharted territory. There are no guarantees. A true story: "I declared my dream. God said to declare it publicly and I did. A pastor in the state of Georgia called and said 'My elderly mother is a missionary living in the place you are to go. She can help.' I called and set out alone. She, with 15 pastors met my plane. Over two years, thousands were saved. Get ready!

Psalm 26:2 (MSG) "Examine me, GOD, from head to foot, order your battery of tests. Make sure I'm fit inside and out."  Ras Robinson


September 26, 2015. Get yourself back in order. Your mind has wandered to things you don't like. You don't want to camp there. That is a pit from which it is hard to get out. You need to set up camp in the land of thanksgiving. Keep foremost in mind the things for which you are thankful. The place where there are things you don't like cause you to ride a downward spiral. I have called you to the high road.
 
Romans 12:2 (NLT) "Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect."  Bev Robinson


September 26, 2015. I know you struggle with being overwhelmed at times. You occasionally have moments when you believe your world is crumbling down upon you. You have flashes of chaos in the midst of all the other obstacles you encounter. You wonder what to do with all the commotion. Take several deep breaths and relinquish your difficulties into My control. Surrender the reign's you've held so tightly and watch Me smooth the pathways along your journey.
 
Matthew 11:29-30 (NLT) "Take my yoke upon you. Let me teach you, because I am humble and gentle at heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy to bear, and the burden I give you is light." Kevin Robinson

Ministry to Children in the Philippines

You can make a child in the Philippines very happy this Christmas and it does not have to cost a lot. A simple toy, a new t-shirt or an ice cream cone will put a smile on a child's face. 

When you ask our sponsored children what they want for Christmas, most will say food. Sometimes we give a roasted chicken to a family for their Christmas dinner, along with a cake or other special item. We have been told many times that it was the first time they ever had anything special to eat for Christmas. If they have something more than a small bowl of rice, it is special.

Other popular gifts are bath towels, light blankets and umbrellas. You Partners, Sponsors and Friends have given so generously in past years so the children and their families are blessed at Christmas. 

Although it is early and in some places too hot to think about Christmas, it will be here sooner than we think. Your donation, large or small, will make Christmas special.
