Matt 6:25-34
"Once our eyes are opened, we cannot pretend we don't know what to do. God, who weighs our hearts and keeps our souls, knows that we know, and holds us responsible to act."
Proverbs 24:1
"Commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." Deuteronomy 11:18-20

About Me
- chavafor4
- United States
- I am a Mom to 7 kids and love every moment of our crazy life. I want to live each day asking "Could it be today?" that I see my Savior’s face, either through death or his coming back to earth. I don’t want to be known for having money or a fancy car, but that I made an impact in others lives for Christ. He paid the ultimate sacrifice for me. I am humbled by His love. Our children come from birth, S. Korea and China.

Unreached People Of The Day
"He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot loose." Jim Elliot
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!" Author unknown

143,000,000 ORPHANS:
It is estimated that between 143,000,000 and 210,000,000 children are orphans. That’s at least 143 MILLION children in the world today. (Recent UNICEF report.)
To give you an idea of the enormity of this need, keep in mind that the approximate population of the US is 300,000,000; and the population of Russia is 141,800,000.)
There are more orphans in Sub-Sahara Africa than ALL of the children
