Over the past few months we have been sharing openly our story, Rose's story. We have asked you for help, for prayers, for support, for advice, for encouragement etc... You all have been utterly amazing! It is one of the hardest things to do to be on the side of "asking." It is much more fun to be the "giver!" God has shown us through this experience that this is not about us. It is not about my feelings, not about my pride, not about my image, not about me in any way. After getting over that, my husband and I have put ourselves and Rose's story out there. We opened it up so that you could also be a part of the story... and that.you.are!!!!
I have been overjoyed with tears as so many of you have been doing so much for us and more importantly for the children and families in Nigeria. I am really capturing a picture of what the body of Christ really is and what it ought to be. No gift is too small. Some have been the hands that have given, some have been the feet that have literally taken our passports to the Embassy for visas, or walked the stores to find bookbags, some have been the mouth of encouragement, advise, prayer, some have been the mind of wisdom, some have been the heart of love...each gift that you have given and role that you have played has been exactly what it needed to be! They are all important so for that we say thank you!!!!
God is working! Rose's body has been released from the hospital and will be prepared for her funeral. This is a huge answer to prayer as the hospital had Grace upon Rose and our family and has kindly worked with us to remedy her HUGE hospital bill. God is Alive!
We have also been working on another project looking for a hearing aid for a 5 year old little girl (my niece). It was a far fetched request to find one in the matter of days but God did it. We were able to get in touch with an amazing doctor that was recommended by many of you and He graciously donated one which will be picked up tomorrow morning. I am so thrilled that for the first time this little girl will have a shot at being able to hear and talk and progress in her life. I am also so excited for my sister in law (the mommy) to be graced with this gift. What a gift. Can you imagine how blessed she is going to be that she will now be able to help her little girl. Amazing, just amazing ! This is HUGE!!!! Thank you! God is surely Alive!
We have asked for donations of bookbags, clothing, school supplies etc....and in the matter of a few days we have more than enough! Thank you!!! What a blessing it is going to be to give these to the people back home and see how the small things that we have access to on a daily basis will bless their heart and will be useful and helpful to them in so many ways! Thank you! God has provided and is truly Alive!

| Just a few of the donations that have been given this past week. |
Your monetary gifts have also made so many things possible. We have seen so many of you take part in investing in what we are a part of. If we were millionaires we would do it ourselves, but God has decided that it is best to allow others to join us in His work! We appreciate and value you so much. No gift is too small. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving. This is what I call IMPACT giving! It has eternal rewards! Thank you! God is soooo Alive!
We hope you join us for this ride and see what else God has in store. We are His mobilizers being obedient to do all that He has asked us to do. We cannot do it without the rest of the body! Thank you so much, we truly love and appreciate EACH and EVERY ONE of YOU!!!!
