We could not be more excited about the possibilities that lie ahead! God has blessed our progress these past few months, and we can honestly say that God has directed our path each step along the way. I have never been more confident that what I am doing is pleasing to God than helping build a village in Haiti or the Dominican Republic. Honestly, God doesn't need us to accomplish his plans, but how exciting and humbling it is to know he gives us the privilege of being a part of his plan by serving and loving others.
After tonight, No Longer will be about so much more than the 9 of us who have decided to do more for the least of these in our world. Our hope is that No Longer will now include hundreds of other people who are coming together to say, “We will no longer sit by and simply feel sorry for the 147 million orphans in the world.” It is time that we turn our sympathy into a movement and start using the blessings that God has given us to make a difference!
It’s going to be a fun ride and we hope that you will join with us!
Wow-what a great night! Thank you all for challenging us in such a powerful way to be active in caring for the "least of these." Praying for each of you as you follow His lead in this ministry that has HUGE potential in sending hopelessness down the path of the wooly mammoth.
ReplyDeleteMy friends went to the dinner and shared with me about the ministry and I just couldn't wait to read all about it! I am adding you to our prayer list...and can't wait to see how else the Lord might lead us to get involved! My heart sings at your story of 9 people...ordinary people...doing something extraordinary for the orphan. God bless you abundantly!!!!!
