Only God can open the doors to save orphans lives in Eastern
Europe; only the Holy Spirit can speak to the hearts of the nationals about
adoption. Obediently we carry
Christ’s message about “Adoption And The Gospel”. We hope you will prayerfully follow us on our
journey.
Is it enough to know that human traffickers have so targeted
orphans that 60 to 70% worldwide will fall into their hands? Their life expectancy will be 8 years or less
when they leave the orphanages unless they are adopted. We want to see as many as possible adopted
by Holy-Spirit-filled-families.
Our message is: through Christ we have been adopted into God’s
family, given His Name, and, we will share in the inheritance with Christ. We were all spiritual-orphans until the Holy
Spirit made us truly alive (Rom. 8:15, 8:23, 9:4, Gal. 4:4-5, and Eph. 1:5). God
has already prepared local families who want to adopt. They need their church community to empower
and support them with resources and prayer. Isn’t that what Jesus did for us?
Orphanages have become incubators for the worst kind of
human beings (human animals). Jeremiah
5:26-29 is a message God spoke over these “wicked men who lie in wait”. “Like a cage with birds, their homes are
filled with evil plots.” These children
need us to understand their reality, and to bring remedy to their impending affliction.
There are nearly 200 million orphans worldwide. Orphanages are needed short-term, but nothing
replaces a Spirit-filled family. These
kids want a mom and dad forever; without which, there is little hope that they
will ever know the love of Jesus.
Eric Henderson and I leave August 27th for Bucharest,
Romania. We will spend one month in Romania,
one month in Bulgaria, and about a week in Kiev, Ukraine.
We need your prayers and support; moreover, these orphans and
families need your support. My personal
expenses will be about $6000 with travel.
I’m willing to pay all out of pocket, but I remember how blessed I was
when I was sent to Nigeria by many of y ’all. Many of you empowered locals to build the fish
pond.
Only God… knows the real needs.
Blessings
