Rwanda: God Places the Orphans in Families

I am overjoyed about hearing of the Rwanda adoption program just starting through All God's Children International. These children are victims of extreme poverty and most have been abandoned. Many are dropped in outhouses when they are born and saintly people rescue them and place them in bags in front of a St. Theresa's orphanage. The sweet nuns from India tirelessly love and care for these sweet innocent ones and nurse them sweetly back to health. There tough beginning makes the start of life very difficult but love is so powerful. All love comes from God. God bless these sweet women making this their life's work. Saving these precious children. More information can be found in this beautiful article: Rwanda's Orphans . Pray for these babies.
"Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world." James 1:27

"I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you." John 14:18

What does it mean to live a prophetic life?

First of all it is anything but boring! Living a prophetic life means being open to adventure, realizing nothing is coincidence. Most of all it is being in a consistent state of expectation stemming from a life of prayer and trust in a personal creator. It is exciting! God warns me or should I say counsels, advises and alerts me of what is to come. He gives me little hints. I often wonder, was that God? It this really going to happen? But then when it does I am in awe. Our Creator is an Almighty One that is in the details. Little details add up to unmistakenly know:
God is here.
In the photo above I am meeting one of my two little twin girls in Ethiopia for the first time. Just a few years before I would have never have dreamed I would be doing this great adventure and being part of such a grand plan. My family's life being linked and sewn together with little ones in Africa needing desperate help.
Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think- according to the power that works in you- to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
Ephesians 3:20

 
Can You Raise The Dead?
Jesus said to Raise the Dead. How do you do it?
