Meet Sweet Daniel

Daniel is an incredible kid! He is 6 years old and has been at the orphanage for almost two years. He and Soraya (Daniel's 4 year old sister) came to us from a tragic situation. One day Daniel's mom asked he and Soraya to go with her in order to gather fire wood so they could sell it in the market and have money for food, school fees, etc. Daniel's mom put Soraya on her back and they went out in the jungle. Sadly, Daniel and Soraya's mom stepped on a landmine. She was killed right there, Daniel had his leg blown off, and Soraya was miraculously unharmed. Daniel courageously untied his little sister as he was bleeding to death from his leg being taken and brought her to safety.

Daniel is a brilliant kid who has an incredibly gentle spirit. Please pray the Lord will use him as a mighty man for the kingdom. Pray God will comfort Daniel in his afflictions so he is able to comfort others (2 Cor. 1:3-5).

Love Truth

Isn't it amazing how we take life for granted? The orphans continue to be in my prayers. Often times I "hold" them in my arms & pray they know God loves them & there ARE people who love/care about them even though they're far away. What amazing "teachers" they are!!!!
