Our dear friends, Terry and Mike have arrived safely home from Africa. Thank you SO much to everyone who gave so generously to support the orphanage ... ALL of their needs were met and more for the year. The donations they received will enable Grace, their "Mom" to dedicate her time to establishing ongoing support for this very important ministry.

Here is a slideshow of their time with those beautiful girls ...

A Time for Prayer ...

Posted by Ms. Stephanie at 1/11/2008 03:12:00 p.m.

I found this video below and wanted to share it with all of you. It seems that there have been more reasons than usual to pray. Although, I'm sure that it is my own perception and the Holy Spirit's presence that is causing this increased awareness :0)

Sometimes I wonder if I'm "DOING" enough for God - if I am truly a servant at heart ... but then, in the quietness of my soul as I take those 'time-outs' with Him (not often enough - for sure), I begin to understand that it is not my doing that matters to God ... it's my response to his call. He is the one who will take action, I only have to be open to his prompting to pray and then watch and wait as His glorious plans unfold.

My heart is full of hope and prayer for friends who have family members in need of healing and comfort (spiritually and physically) as well as those who are experiencing loss, suffering and hardship. God knows our needs - He knows our hearts' desires and He cares ... He will never leave us nor forsake us - He is our hope ...

Amazing Grace

Amazing Grace (How sweet the sound) That sav'd a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see. 'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears reliev'd; How precious did that grace appear, The hour I first believ'd! Thro' many dangers, toils and snare, I have already come; 'Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me. His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be, As long as life endures. Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease; I shall profess, within the vail, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who call'd me here below, Will be for ever mine. John Newton wrote the words to one of the most beloved hymns of all time between 1760 and 1770, while working as an evangelical pastor. Son of the commander of a merchant ship, Newton was captain of a slave ship for many years, until he underwent a dramatic religious conversion while steering his vessel through a storm. Repenting and regretting the misery he had inflicted on the thousands of human cargo he had transported across the Middle Passage for many years, he devoted his life to the Church, and wrote the lyrics to many hymns which are still popular today. In 1780 Newton left Olney to become rector of St. Mary Woolnoth, St. Mary Woolchurch, in London. There he drew large congregations and influenced many, among them William Wilberforce. Newton continued to preach until the last year of life, although he was blind by that time. He died in London December 21, 1807.
