Go ahead and Stand Up!! Stand up and Praise God for His goodness!! I think that I am overwhelmed with joy, peace, excitement, grace, and pure giddiness. Today was a HUGE day for all of us. By "us" I mean those who have been supportive through prayer, those who have graciously donated, and those who have partnered with us by sharing this blog. This journey started with my husband and myself, but through a common cause to love and support these little ones, it has expanded to an amazing and loving collective body.
Through God's incredible mercy and working through the heart's of some truly wonderful people, we received donations today totaling $1689!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I checked, doubled checked, and tripled checked. God is good....ALL the time. I think one of the things that I appreciate most is that I don't know how much people have donated. So, God is the one who gets all the Glory.
We are only in need of $1097 to reach our goal. Please continue to pray and pass along this blog.
On behalf of "us" Thank you. Thank you
Why we're here..
Numan Orphange is located in Asela, Ethiopia south east of Addis Ababa. It is a 3 hour drive by car; beautiful and breath taking the entire way. If you have ever been there it is a place you will never forget. Numan orphanage serves it's community by being a refuge for children in the midst of extremely difficult transition. Children ranging from 0 months to 15 years call Numan their "home", some for a very brief moment and others for an extended period of time. It is a place especially close to my heart since it was a "home" for my son during his time of need.
Numan is experiencing their own transition and moving to a new facility. Since they are expanding and will most likely be meeting the needs of more families. They find themselves in need. This Blog was established to help Numan attain these items in order to aid them in becoming more efficient in helping families and children in their community while making life more comfortable for those who live there. There are currently 27 children at Numan. We hope that through fundraising and donations we will meet the needs of the children at Numan and for those caring for them.
I would also like to clarify that this blog is not a part of Children's Hope International. They are being kind in allowing us to use them as a vessel to serve Numan.
