Overseas

There are some things that money cannot buy, like the squeal of a young girl when she receives a set of warm clothes, or the laughter in a village when they share a sack of donated rice. For everything else, we use our MASTER’s card ;p

There is so much more we can do to help the people. More than material sustenance, we can give them our hand of friendship, a smile, a laugh, that gives them more warmth than blankets through the winter cold, more energy than a mountainous bowl full of rice. Every prayer, every petition to our heavenly Father to touch these lives is like rain to a parched field.

Nothing is too big and nothing is too small to share. A simple whispered prayer works as great a wonder as a cheque written to feed 5000 people. Making a trip there yourself to put an arm around a little one, priceless! You’ll be amazed at how every gift gets amplified and multiplied to the people and back into your lives.

Many blessings for the new year!
