Last night on the way home from my last volleyball game, I had to tell a girl on my team that the twins had died. She had no idea they had died last week, and she cried for the lives of those tiny babies like they were her own. I had no consolation for her, as I have struggled with the "why" of tragedy several times in the last week. However, I do know that had our agency not stepped in to help this orphanage by offering support and helping to find families for truly orphaned children, we (and thousands of other people) would never have known about the tragedies taking place in that village. Therefore, we would never have had the opportunity to step in and get involved in what God is doing. And we believe He is using this for good, no matter how awful it is. We are hopeful that the GOOD is in saving lives and giving orphans homes where they are safe and healthy.
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care." Matthew 10:29
Most of you know that a week ago we learned of the devastating loss of our two Littles--along with 31 others--in Congo due to dysentery. (Dysentery is most often caused by dirty water.) Since receiving news of the first wave the disease two weeks ago, we--along with countless others and our agency--have been researching water purification options for the remote village in the middle of Africa where clean water and resources are extremely hard to come by. Our agency has now outlined a battle plan, and we are begging you to help the children still fighting for life in this orphanage.
