Arts for Orphans

The other night as I prayed with Isabelle, she prayed fervently for orphans around the world: that God would protect them, that they would be safe, that they'd have everything the need to survive, and that people in the world would help them. I felt very challenged by her belief & fervency that the orphan crisis going on the world could be taken care of if we would all do a little something.

As we finished our prayers, I could tell something was on her mind. She looked at me & said, "Mom, how did it happen that we in America have so much & other places have nothing?" Wondering her thoughts I responded, "I'm not sure, what do you think about that?" She simply said, "because God wants us to help them." For a 6 year old, it is so clear & straightforward. There are no thoughts of how much can I give out of my paycheck, or what about that bill, or what about retirement. For her, we have been given & we are asked to give it away!

These children need us. There is much that you can do:

1. You can go to Isabelle's blog, the link is to the left entitled "Arts for Orphans". She continues to sell her handmade cards & her Nana has made & donated 2 quilts for her to sell. Isabelle loves quilts & my mom desired to help Isabelle in this journey.
2. You can contact Kevin & I about sponsoring a child through C3 ministries. Our family desires to partner with other families, couples, individuals, or businesses to fully fund homes that have been built by C3. By God's grace the construction costs of many homes has been given by God's people, but there is a great need for monthly sponsors for the children in those home. 100% of your $40 monthly commitment goes to the child. There is no money taken out of your donation for administrative costs. Isn't that awesome! In the future we'd love to take a trip with all those who partner with us to fully sponsor children in a home in Haiti - so we can meet the little ones God is connecting our hearts with.

Please pray & ask the Lord how He is asking you to be involved. If you would like to partner with us in fully funding the monthly support of a home in Haiti, please contact us as soon as possible.
