Caring for Orphaned and Abandoned Children

We sat in church this morning, hearing and sharing the many photos and projects of two Ozzie missionaries in Zimbabwe, Africa.
 
Laurie, is a builder and has used his many talents in teaching and building dwellings to help the local community.  He shares with the older children and staff how to make concrete bricks to later be used for housing, churches, hospitals and schools.
Jenny is a school teacher and assists with educating. 
Instead of commencing with a prep class and kindergarten, the children begin with a class 00, then 0, prior continuing on up with the various ages.   

Can you imagine how heart wrenching it is, to find children abandoned on the streets. Some of these kiddies parents have died, leaving them to fend for themselves. And yet, they are happy and smile.  They are appreciative for all they receive.

To the mission fields is where the God of Love has been sent in Action, as well as in Word.

Money is required to help with this work of helping others to help themselves....

In Matthew 25:35-40, 
Jesus Said......
 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?  
 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 
When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’
 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’


Photos taken by Laurie......


There are so many needy in this world. We may not be able to help all of the time, but every time you give and bless another, you receive a blessing from God in return.

James 1:27
"Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."

                                Smiles come from knowing they are valuable.

PRINCES and PRINCESSES

 We, Who Believe, are Princes and Princesses...

Because Jesus is the Prince Of Piece

And God is the King of Heaven

 

Number 1 Crown:

2 Timothy 4:8

New International Version
"Now there is in store for me the CROWN of RIGHTEOUSNESS, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing."
(I am using the easy Bible version for all to understand.) 

Yes, a crown awaits all believers in heaven..

I like to think we wear spiritual crowns now.. 
So whenever you are tempted to say something ugly about another, or use a bad word...remember, we wear a crown and we'll cause it to fall.
  
Five (5) Crowns awaiting in Heaven.
Crown No2 The Incorruptible Crown:  2 Timothy 4:8
Crown No3 The Crown of Life:            James 1:12    Rev 2:10   2 Tim 2:15
Crown No4 The Elders Crown:            1 Peter 5:2-4
Crown No5 Crown of Rejoicing:          1 Thes 2:19   Dan 12:3
Look them up and read about them yourself.

"I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that NO ONE WILL TAKE AWAY YOUR CROWN." 2 Timothy 4:8

Yes, you can loose your crown, so, take care, and wear it with pride knowing you must 
take care of your words, actions and thoughts... 
However, we are saved by the Blood of Jesus and when you know that in your heart....
Then Nothing can take it away.

So True


The neurosurgeon Dr Ben Carson's mother read this poem OFTEN to her two son's .
What a wise mother!!
She worked hard as a single mum, to develop her boys into responsible adults...and, it paid off.


If things go bad for you
And make you a bit ashamed
Often you will find out that
You have yourself to blame



Swiftly we ran to mischief
And then the bad luck came
Why do we fault others?
We have ourselves to blame


Whatever happens to us,
Here is what we say
“Had it not been for so-and-so
Things wouldn’t have gone that way.”


And if you are short of friends,
I’ll tell you what to do
Make an examination,
You’ll find the faults in you…


You’re the captain of your ship,
So agree with the same
If you travel downward
You have yourself to blame   By Mayme White Miller

Gifted Hands by and about Ben Carson, M.D., is the inspiring story of an inner-city kid with poor grades and little motivation, who, at age thirty-three, became director of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University Hospital.
