Praise
report in the last 2 days we have had 2 more children sponsored. We have 4
left waiting for sponsors and school started June 10th in the Philippines.
Please call us, or email us to sponsor a child. Thanks
to Apollo from Florida for sponsoring a needy child. We
still need new sponsors for four children in the Philippines. These
precious children are waiting and praying they get chosen for school in
2008. I believe if we will all pray in agreement for those new sponsors,
God will send them. |

Years ago I heard a
story about a little boy who had gone to bed, but as soon as he fell
asleep a thunder storm came through the area and the loud thunder both
woke and scared this little boy. So much so that he ran down the hall into
his parents bedroom and jumped into their bed. The father who was a
Christian took his son back to his own bed and assured him that there
nothing to be afraid of because Jesus was right in the room with him and
that He wouldn’t allow anything to hurt him. This seemed to comfort the
little boy until the next loud clap of thunder which caused him again get
out of his bed and get into the bed of his parents. Once again the father
him took back to his own bed assuring him again that Jesus was in the room
with him. But once again after another loud clap of thunder he was again
in the bed of his parents. This time before his father could carry him
back to his own bed, the little boy said to his dad, "I know Jesus is
in my room with me, but I need someone with skin on." Won't
you please step out today and be the one with skin on that shows God to
these little ones.....Thank you! Darrel
Mason "Take heed
that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in
heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in
heaven" (Matthew 18:10, NKJV). You
are the Advocate for all the little children who cannot speak for
themselves, the Defender for these little ones who cannot defend
themselves. With a fierceness of love You fight for their right to draw
near to You, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not stop
them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs"
(Matthew 19:14). And with that same fierceness of love You warn those who
would harm them in any way, "If any of you put a stumbling block
before one of these little ones who believe in Me, if would be better for
you if a great millstone were fastened around your neck and you were drown
in the depths of the sea" (Matthew 18:6). Lord
Jesus, You love the little children, all the children of the world. You
love those who joyfully sing the praises of Your name and You love those
who do not yet know it. You love those who spirits are filled with Your
breath of life and You love those who are created and carried in their
mother's womb before they breathe their first breath. Your angels watch
over them and fight for them until the day You gather them out of this
broken, fallen world into the arms of Your presence to see Your face
forever. "Little
ones to Him belong; they are weak, but He is strong." Thank You for
the strength and power of Your love. Nothing can ever separate us or any
of these little ones from the strength and power of the God who is Love (Romans
8:37-39; 1 John 4:8).
In Jesus' name I pray, Amen.
