Thank you for your gifts for helping to feed hungry children in the Philippines. Giving nutritious food to the children causes them to be healthy and alert. See below.

August 3, 2016. You said you had forgiven the one(s) who hurt you? But without the help of Christ, you can only forgive in part. Years ago I was confounded by someone who desperately wanted to forgive a severe injustice, but remained tightly bound to unforgiveness. Even after prayer for them, they remained bound. I asked the Lord for help. He said, "This one can forgive only through Me." That person chose to forgive through Jesus and was completely set free.
Matthew 18:32-34 (NLT) "Then the king called in the man he had forgiven and said, 'You evil servant! I forgave you that tremendous debt because you pleaded with me. Shouldn't you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?' Then the angry king sent the man to prison to be tortured until he had paid his entire debt." Ras Robinson

August 3, 2016. I am One who blesses. I bless abundantly. You can have a part in increasing your abundant blessings by giving and sowing. When you give or sow anything, what you give or sow will multiply and return to you more than was given or sown. Look for ways to give and sow. Keep your mind open to giving. When a grain of corn is planted, it produces ears of corn with multiplied grains. Plant in good soil.
Matthew 13:23 (NLT) "The seed that fell on good soil represents those who truly hear and understand God's word and produce a harvest of thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted!" Bev Robinson

August 3, 2016. Take the necessary steps to keep yourself in alignment with God's word. Instead of being compliant with the world around you and the trends which keep tugging and clamoring for your attention, be firm in your faith by adhering to the promises God has laid out before you. Be intentional at keeping your heart and mind on the course God has placed you on. Stay on track, not veering to the left or right of His course.
Isaiah 30:21 (NIV) "Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." Kevin Robinson

Ministry to Children in the Philippines
 These children live in severe poverty in the Philippines. The place they live has no electricity, no clean water (in fact no running water at all), no bathrooms (they go in a grove of nearby trees).
The children are lucky to have one meal a day. It is such a blessing to see how the children change when they are sponsored and begin to have better and more regular nutrition. They are healthier and more alert. They are happier and they do better in school.
Here is a note from one of the pastors charged with caring for many poor children, including the ones in the photo above. She says, "As off now, we have a lot of nutritious food for the children -- vegetables from the church garden area and the fish from the nearby sea. We can feed the children with green vegetables for the nourishment of their physical body. You can observe the FCM children that they are now gaining weight and have clear, healthy skin. They can easily understand the lessons and they are excited to learn because their stomachs are not empty."
You probably cannot imagine the importance of the gifts you send to help feed the children through "Food for Learning." I will never forget visiting a garbage site where we sponsor many children. It was time for breakfast before school for the sponsored children. Standing around outside where many "unsponsored" children looking through the windows. They were hoping for a few crumbs to be left after the sponsored children left for school. That scene broke my heart.
