Children of the World

Today I had the wonderful opportunity to see the "Children of the World" International Children's Choir, sponsored by World Hope. These exciting, dynamic and energetic children from Uganda, Philippines, and Nepal have been soicially and economically deprived. Some have lost their parents to disease, polluted wter, tribal warfare, even AIDS. Some of their parents simply could not afford to take care of them. But despite theier tragic circumstances, they have the love of God in their hearts. They are children of hope because someone reached out to them and rescued them. They have been sponsored by people in America and now have good food, clothing, shelter and are receiving an education. They are learning everyday about God's great mercy and grace. And they have a wonderful message to bring in song! Go to www.worldhelp.net and find out where they will be performing next. You won't want to miss it. All through their worship performance, I had to wipe the tears from my eyes. I kept thinking to myself, they could be my children! My boys had been abandoned but were rescued and brought to an orphanage. The God allowed us to bring them to their forever home in America.

Please take a look and think of sponsoring a child or in the least, allow the Lord to bless and touch your heart for the children of the world. So many can live if they only had clean water. $15 can supply water to one person for a very long time!
The blessing will be yours
