Remembering the extra blessing

I just had to repost. I was asking Christa: "What else did you get the sponsored children?" and she wrote with a list for these pictured children.

Yvonne got a mattress, sheets, blanket, lantern, pens, pencils, paper, erasers, books, toy, water tub, washtub, cups, bowl, toothbrushes, toothpaste, vaseline.

Asman received the same as Yvonne

I was so happy to remember going to these homes! We drove around our part of the countryside passing out delight! I blogged about my peak life moment at Beverlyne's home. (Thank You, Jesus!) and I just wanted to express again the joy and delight of giving.

Thanks to our Kenyan team who works day in and day out with our children and community. They also love the giving and participating with God in the blessing! Thank you to our donors who keep the whole machine going by the Grace of God in their lives and through their abundance of generosity.

I was sending a note to the sponsor to these children: Darla Partridge. She lives in Illinois and is not online so she never sees my usual reports, emails, blogs, facebook posts, webpages (www.TGDonline.com and now www.TGDKenya.com ) or newsletters. I just write her a few lines and add a few photos like the above--and they are just printed out on regular paper (cheapo, I know.)
But thank God she is helping because Asman's guardian, his grandfather, was down with Typhoid. Our team took him to the doctor, got his test results and got him needed medication. Pray with us for Nelson, Asman's grandfather, to recover as he is the only one to care for Asman. We need him! Asman needs him!

You may remember that Grace and Everlyne (Everline?) lost their grandfather right after he witnessed the joy of seeing them accepted into the program. I think he was just holding on for them. Now their aunt has them, but she also has other children AND her son Shadrach has muscular dystrophy. Shaddy is a complete invalid plus the uncle has a huge tumor on his head plus some mental disturbance. The family suffers but the support of these bright girls makes all the difference in the world. God is praised!

So we really pray God protect the lives of the guardians and parents to these children. May they receive provision, health, salvation, deliverance, and joy in every area of life. Life is not money and Jesus even said it is not food or clothes! But we know we all have basic needs and we must have good relationships along with air and water. We pray for the families and homes these children live in that they would be strengthened in the basics and that a firm foundation would go up in their lives so that God could shine through and allow them to become a blessing to those around them, in Jesus name.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
