April 23, 2016. God knows your resting place with Him. It is likely that if you ask, He will foretell to you all about your time and place in Heaven. He loves you so much and delights in you having His knowledge. He wants you to have no fear. His rod and staff are for your comfort and protection. They will instruct your mind and prepare your heart. Years ago, He told me I would have a long and good life like Abraham. I live by faith. He wants that faith for you as well.
Psalm 23:4 (NASB) "Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me." Ras Robinson

April 23, 2016. This is a warning, not to scare you, but to prepare you. You've wondered why there has been no warfare at this particular time when it usually is there. It's coming, in a way and from whom you least expect. It will hit you with quite a blow. You have earlier had something similar happen. Die to yourself. Get in My word and listen to My voice. You got through it last time and you will do so again
1 Peter 5:8-9 (NLT) "Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Stand firm against him, and be strong in your faith. Remember that your Christian brothers and sisters all over the world are going through the same kind of suffering you are." Bev Robinson

April 23, 2016. I am greater than any obstacle that presents itself before you. Nothing that will ever cross your path is able to hinder My progress with the plans I have for you. Rest yourself from the struggles that come before you each day. Don't get wrapped up in the "what if's" that can cloud your perspective. Think about what I can do for you in the present. Now overcome.
1 John 4:4 (NASB) "You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world." Kevin Robinson

Ministry to Children in the Philippines
 Anabel was a young orphan girl, the youngest of 5 siblings. Their father left them when they were still very young. Their mother tried to provide for them, but was not able. They never had enough to eat and Anabel had to quit going to school after finishing 3rd grade because her mother could not pay for the requirements. Later their mother got sick and died. Anabel lived with one sibling after another, but the conditions were not good with any of them. She wanted so much to go to school like the other children, but her siblings were not able to provide for her.
A dear lady who is like a mother to many poor children found her and told her she could possibly be part of FCM and go to school. She was so excited and prepared to enter 4th grade even though she was older than the others in the class. Her living condition was still a problem. She was vulnerable and was often harassed by those who could harm her. Eventually, using scrap materials gathered from the garbage dump, she made her a little bed and shelter in the midst of the garbage site and that is where she slept at night. Her statement is, "I made a small bed at the garbage dumpsite and there I slept on dirty soil matted with sacks. Every night I collected paper, cartons and tin cans to sell so that I would have money to buy food. During day time I went to school, but there are times I failed to go to school because I was hungry and dizzy."
The pastor asked her to move into a new room he built at Kid's Freedom Center. It was sort of a "safe house" for some of the girls. She lived there for several years until she graduated from high school and was a big help in caring for younger children and preparing food for feeding hundreds of hungry children. After graduation from high school, Anabel decided to take a 2-year course in hotel and restaurant management. She just graduated and is now ready to find a job. She said, "I'm so happy because God is with me and God is in my heart. And I believe that nothing is impossible in God. Even if in the future I encounter numerous obstacles and trials, with God I am happy to embrace it because I know He will never leave and forsake me. I've longed to graduate college and find a good job so I can help my family and other children who cannot go to school."
THE OTHER SIDE: A few years ago a young college student wrote us. She wanted to be a sponsor. Not many college students do that and we were impressed. She faithfully sponsored Anabel for several years and was able to see the transformation from the frightened, hungry little girl sleeping on a bed of trash to a young woman who loves the Lord and has the skills to be successful in life. What a blessing! I know God is pleased. We are so proud of Anabel. She has accomplished much that was once impossible. It would not have been possible without a pastor and his helpers and her sponsor.
As a sponsor, you can be a vital part of a team that can change lives for eternity. Will you ask the Lord about it? See links below for your response.
