Sorry I have not updated in a few weeks. Time is flying by. It honestly scares me that I have just a little over a month left here. The progress I have made with the kids here is truly only by the Lord's grace. When I first arrived here, I had to work to love the kids. Then, slowly they allowed me to love them more and more. Now finally, they have surrendered to my love and willingly and openly come to me for it. It was truly a blessing for me to be told by the pastor here that the children tell him they get love from me. I know that this ministry is important and meaningful. This is God's future army, and it is so important that they know and receive love. What a blessing for me to give that to them. I honestly cannot describe to you the love I feel for them...deeper than I ever imagined.
I have a request for all of you: This children's home is supported by only man and his family and they struggle monthly to send the support needed. I am asking you to prayerfully consider partnering with him by agreeing to support one child every month. These kids need your help. It is so important that this home is not shut down because it is a safe place that provides food, shelter, and most importantly the love of the Lord for these kids. So please, if you want to help, contact me at kellylynne23@yahoo.com I will give you further information through email at that time. Please contact me if you have any interest or any questions. I will get back to you as soon as I can, but please realize internet access is limited here. Thank you for considering this.
A few prayer requests:
-First for health, as it is so hot here, we have all been struggling. Pray that the Lord would prevent any future problems.
-Safety
-That the Lord will open the doors for me and make my next step clear after leaving here
-That the Lord will already be holding my broken heart together as I know I will one day have to leave the children I have come to love so deeply (and will knowingly break many of their hearts as well)
-Strength, patience, and grace to abound in my life....that i will do nothing out of selfish ambition
-I will continue to learn more Hindi
I am so appreciative of all of your prayers! I could not be doing this without all of you. Life is wonderful here and truly the Lord is working in my life in extraordinary ways. I love you all. Blessings until next time!
