Hi everybody and happy Tuesday to you... sometimes I am amazed at how children
who struggle, who go without, who've come through difficulty have such a maturity
in them. You know, when they understand who God is and how much He loves them
they embrace faith and and they just exude the love of God themselves and
they trust God in the midst of their lack. I find this such a remarkable
quality. I'd like you to go with me to Costa Rica today to meet a precious
family there that we have been able to invest in on several levels. You'll love
these two little girls and you'll see that we've given an additional gift that
will make all the difference in the world for one of their tomorrows, but for
all of them as a family. Nicole and her sister Keidy live in Costa Rica. Their
economic situation is severely limited, which makes it hard to provide meals and
medical care. Those were very difficult times. We got up in the morning
but I had nothing to give to my children. Her children attend school, but there was
something that was holding Nicole back in her studies. For me school is kind of
hard. I can barely see the blackboard and
sometimes they'd have to help me. Nicole's mother found out about the
Orphan's Promise Hope Bunker program and thanks to this program they now receive
a balanced and healthy meal. I love to go to the Hope Bunker because I
can eat play and because my cousins can go with me to listen to the Word of God.
When I went to the Hope Bunker for the first time, I felt like God was telling
me, 'Come! I am already here. Come I am your Father! And I said this is my place. I'm
going to stay here. When I get older I'd like to take my own kids there.
She now has better health because she now can have lunch
and she's even getting fruit. It has helped us a lot! As an act of gratitude
Nicole's mother now helps in the kitchen of the Hope Bunker and all her family is
attending church. They are all learning more about Jesus! Now my life is joyful
and beautiful. I've learned lots of good things from Superbook... I love it! I want
to make the world better to make a world that knows Jesus Christ and what He's
done because He gave His life for all of us!
Thanks to Orphan's Promise donors we made sure Nicole had an eye exam and after
the exam, Orphan's Promise decided to surprise her with something that would
chang e her life!
I feel very happy because now I could go anywhere and I will be able to see.
What can I say? I wouldn't trade places with anyone
right now! I feel like the happiest mom ever! When I
remember Orphan's Promise, I will remember this day when you gave my little sister
the ability to see! Imagine the joy in a mother's heart when she knows that her
children are being fed every day, and in this instance not just fed physically,
but fed the Word of God as well! What a boost in faith for this whole family, but
then to see that glasses were provided for a daughter who simply couldn't
flourish in school because she didn't have the ability to see.... thank you so
much! It's your generosity and kindness and compassion that makes this possible,
so on behalf of Nicole and Keidy's mother, I say thank you to each and every
one of you!
