My last 2 girls are sponsored


Praise the Lord, my last 2 girls are sponsored.  Both of the girls were sponsored by families that had previously sponsored children but they "shifted", meaning they moved away from Family Legacy's service area. Juliet was so sad to not be going to school and as smart as she appeared, she really needed to be there.  Fridah was the little girl that Kevin & I were sponsoring and she somehow slipped through the cracks and appeared to have shifted.  Then she found me in the compound this summer when we were witnessing in the neighborhood.  What a blessing this is for those precious girls and us.  Please pray for them as they will not begin school until January and that may be confusing to them.

For those of you that are sponsoring children, this is a great time to write to them.  It is so easy to do and you need only share a few things.  The main goal is that they know someone cares for them and is praying for them.  You may refer to us as Auntie Lori for the girls and Uncle Kevin for the boys.  All of the kids are believers but could use encouragement and support in how to live out that life.  They learned about putting on the Armor of God this summer and all received a New Testament Bible.  Sending a prayer or scripture to them is most valuable.  And always remember to ask them about their prayer requests.  That's a great way to get them to write back and for you to check in on their situation.

Thanks to all of you that are sponsoring our kids.  They are so precious to us.  I am still in awe that I get to be an advocate for them and love them all the way from here to there.
