The Incredible, Amazing love we are all loved with . . .

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

-Ephesians 3:18-19











These past few days have been filled with complete joy and a deeper understand of how wide, how long and how deep God's love for each of us really is. We have had the joy of welcoming four new girls into our ministry, this week. Hearing their stories, seeing how God has rescued them from these horrible situations and redeemed them from pasts of abandonment, neglect and loneliness helps me realize how deep God's love really is for each of us, we are all so precious in his sight.


Rose, a spunky ten year old is a single orphan was brought to the ministry after her life was at risk from her family and her community because of her involvement in a cult.



















Patience a sweet little girl, also ten and a single orphan was brought into the ministry because she was neglected by her family.


















Happy and Sandra, funny little sisters, ages 9 and 6 were brought to us by their aunt who took them out of a broken, polygamous home.






















I have had the great privilege of spending the past few days with these girls. We have spent time praying, taking long hikes in the hills (these girls are FULL of energy, we tried to tire them out, but they seemed to tire us out before they showed any signs of slowing down!), drank a few minerals, colored, jump roped, ate lunch, sang songs, hugged, and just had a good deal of kid time.







These girls require and need a great deal of one on one attention, so it has been great having the four of them in their separate house. Please keep our girl's ministry staff, Mama Praise, Kaka and Mama Sati in your prayers, they have a lot of work on their hands, and are doing a wonderful job.
