First of all, I love being back in San Diego, but I cannot wait to get back to the kids in Bali at the Yayasan Permata Bali Children's Home! My heart is yearning to just be with the kids, to mentor and disciple them, to pick them up, hold them, and watch them grow. The opportunity to be out there supported by so many friends and family in not only a blessing in my life, but in the staff and kids life at the home. Thank you all again, those who are standing with me in this journey to love God and His children.
Over and over again, I have been seeing God do some incredible things. He has provided automobiles, work, a cell phone, a place to stay, a community to plug into, and has answered so many specific prayers. He really does hear us, He really does love us, and He really does want the best for us.
I have about 6 weeks left in the states, this time back has been new, fresh, and full of God's abundant joy. Things have not always worked out the way 'I' wanted them to, but in the end, I have seen the faithfulness of God to work all things out for good, to those who love Him and are called according to His purpose. (Romans 8:28)
I hired a great creative director, named Chad Willkie, of Encinitas, CA, to brand our new orphanage building non-profit organization called Loving Orphans Global. Wehtahnah Tucker, of Cardiff, CA, has so graciously helped, using her skills as an attorney getting the paper work put together. So, we are a 501C3 in pending. Now companies can donate to us, and we will be able to issue them tax write offs. This is great news! If you know of any companies that might want to donate to building a new orphanage, please send me an email, lovingorphans@gmail.com.
1 John 3:18 Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
Blessings,
