"God, teach me lessons for living so I can stay the course.
Give me insight so I can do what you tell me- my whole life one long, obedient response."
Psalm 119:32 The Message

Hello friends,
I only have a minute but had to give a few updates- so this post is sorta lkie a buffet-it has a little bit of everything!
---Please join me in giving God some Praise...we are 1 Indian orphan away from having all 40 new ones sponsored and 30 recommitted to for their 3rd year. Praise him loudly grils! He deserves it!
---Back to school for many today! The Drain children fared well other than one 10 year old boy's hair woes. That is a whole post of its own!!! ha!
---I am knee deep in the Word (my favorite place) preparing for a ladies retreat this weekend! I sure would appreciate your prayers.
---Lastly, please lift up a friend for me who is in the hospital. I would be most blessed by your intercession!
And, just because I love each of you so much I endured typing from my phone to post and several misquito bites!
Love to all,

India Orphans
Hello friends,
I couldn't wait to share this picture with you! These are the orphans in India that I have written about several times. Please notice the group has grown! There are 28 new babies joining this crowd! Praise be to God! I hope you notice the 'thumbs up' we are getting in this picture. Aren't they darling? Words aren't enough to describe the joy these sweet faces bring me.
Some in the picture are without parents, some have one parent, and some have both parents. All are unable to be cared for by either their parent(s) or relatives due to finances or life situations that the parent(s) or relatives are in that are unsafe for the children. So, they are brought to the Nash Campus at Redemption Ministries in Chirala, India and are cared for here. They receive not only basic needs (food, clothing, shelter and medical care) they also receive an education (reading, writing, and math) and on top of all that and most importantly- they learn about Jesus Christ and his lavish love for them.
I must share a very proud Mommy moment with you. One of these sweet babies was sponsored by my daughter, Shelby. She worked some this summer for her father and saved her money. She gave up almost her whole summer savings to sponsor one of these sweet children. She had $20 left to spend on herself. What is so neat about it is she came up with the idea all on her own. Chad or I never asked her to sponsor a child- nope- it was her idea! So proud of my young lady! I'm sending her a 'thumbs up' today for allowing God to use her to impact the life of another!
There are several more children who need sponsorship. Once sponsorship is received they are brought into their new home. And, it's only $20 per month per child. Let me know if you are interested!
Blessings to all,
Lori
