Children who have no hope are given hope. They know the future will be better for them. Thank you for your gifts to help the children. See below.

August 24, 2016. Each and every word of God is a promise from Him. He cannot, will not lie. Jesus is the Word. No one else can lay claim to such a statement. But in order to benefit from this promise your faith must be in God. The only hindrance to God fulfilling every promise is that those to whom the promise is made cannot believe what God has promised. His promises are often outrageously strong and just.

James 2:5 (NIV) "Listen, my dear brothers: Has not God chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him?" Ras Robinson

August 24, 2016. Don't give up hope. Move on into faith. Don't entertain any doubt or unbelief. Refuse it at all costs. You will see how this alone will begin a flow of blessings. The circumstances don't appear hopeful, but don't go there at all. There will be a breakthrough when you least expect it. It won't take a long time. You won't have to wait like you have had to do with some things in the past. Rest in My word, Beloved.

Hebrews 4:7 (NLT) "So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today." Bev Robinson

August 24, 2016. Things that normally do not bother you have risen to the top. In fact, those issues have reached their high point resulting in situations that have your emotions boiling over. Know that you are not alone. Jesus often encountered difficult situations and troublesome people and He overcame them. Find a way to remove yourself from the heat of the moment and find rest like He did underneath the mercy and strength of Almighty God.

Psalm 91:2 (NLT) "This I declare about the Lord: He alone is my refuge, my place of safety; he is my God, and I trust him." Kevin Robinson

Ministry to Children in the Philippines

This is a family home built on top of a garbage dump in the Philippines. Notice the packed down trash and debris that form the foundation. When they say their house is built from "wood," it is not what we might envision. The walls are scrap wood or sometimes sacks or or old discarded tarps and other materials gathered from the trash.

Most of the possessions of this family are items that were scavenged from piles and piles of trash. Unless the children are sponsored or assisted in some other way, they don't go to school because their parents don't have money to buy uniforms and school supplies and pay numerous other required fees. So the cycle of poverty continues as the children grow up uneducated and without work skills.

That cycle of poverty and lack of education can be broken. When a child is sponsored, it sets in motion many changes. They go to school and get supplemental nutrition. The sponsorship opens a door to evangelize the family. It is common for entire households to be saved and baptized and discipled together. Hope rises as the children and their families anticipate a better future.

What a joy to be part of God's plan to rescue children from poverty and help them prepare for the future. Would you like to be part of His plan for this transformation? For only $1 a day ($30 a month), you can sponsor the education of a child and help transform that child's life.

Maybe you are not at a place where you can commit to sponsor a child. The pastor who ministers to families in the garbage dump shown above has 17 feeding centers across the area where he feeds and ministers to hundreds of very poor children. Any amount you can send to help with food for the children will be a blessing to them and to you. Many of the children only get to eat one small meal a day.
