This week our eyes have been opened because of one little girl, Katerina.
Because of her, we were made aware of the desperation of the Lost Children of #11.
Liliana is 11 years old. ELEVEN. She weighs 10 pounds. Her arm is 3 inches around. Can your mind even comprehend this?
This orphanage is filled with the weakest, most neglected children imaginable.
It hits especially close to home for us because all of these children are in Shannon’s country.
If ever there was a rescue mission, this is it. Children who may not make it to see their next birthday. It will take special famillies
to entrust themselves into God’s hands…faithfully.
It can be done. God brought these Lost Children before our eyes. When they could have been hidden away…a secret to the outside…He stepped in and made their presence known. He has placed them before us…and now it lies in our hands. Do what you can. We can ALL do something. Whether it be pray, donate, or adopt. Not one of us in unable to do something. Let it weigh on your mind. Let it burden your heart.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” Galations 6:2
And there are more…there are SO many more. Some are unable to be adopted, most in are in horrible condition. All deserve to be loved…
“Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will never fail, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”
Luke 12:33, 34
We are called. We were made to do this.
“…Freely you have received; freely give.” Matthew 10:8
We were given the greatest gift of all…for free. Certainly, each one of us can afford to give back. Do it quietly. Do it wholeheartedly. Give without guilt…without complaint. HE will know what you do...
