Wow! Is not a lot whether that?How it can be with so little support?How it could happened? Isn`t God`s love astonishing and generous?
It remind me a very famous Bible story with five barley loaves and two fishes.(John 6:9-14)
"There is a lad here, which hath five barley loaves, and two small fishes: but what are they among so many?
And Jesus took the loaves; and when he had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, and the disciples to them that were set down; and likewise of the fishes as much as they would. 
Then those men, when they had seen the miracle that Jesus did, said, This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world."
 Yes, we were concerned and worried where and how will find finances to help many orphans here? How help many kids in their needs? But what we could do?We could only beg and plead Jesus Christ to bless and provide needs of poor and forgotten orphans.

Oh, yes!We had so many times when we did not have finances to visit our beloved kids.Oh, how many times we could not help them in their needs.We prayed, our faith was so small and weak but God blessed by His mercy!What a surprise was for us so many times to see how our Saviour provided and sent what we needed.We were sooo happy and blessed!

And so many times we could see hand of Jesus in personal lives too!
Honestly, I do not like to speak about it.Lord knows everything.I can not account how many times we hungry went to our beds for rest at nights, how many times we did not have breakfast.How many times days or even weeks we had only potatoes on our tables, that was all.Some members of team ate only eggs, cucumbers every day and nothing more.Because could not buy.How many times we worried how to pay utilities for places where we live.How many times we thought where take finances for medicine when we were sick, how many times we worried where take finances and buy a clothes or shoes what were need for a member of team.And much more and more and more...I believe many of you came through the same trials and even more heavier.

We are not sorry about it.Did it was heavy?Of, course.But that is our choice to minister Lord Jesus and bring hope and joy to those who have more trials and worries, fell lonely and unwanted.That is our choice to visit orphans in their afflictions.It`s our choice to go to them what would not happen in our lives or families.

With beats of heart and joy and tears in eyes I`m typing and crying.Crying because of Love of Jesus.Some one will think Isn`t crazy?Hmmm!Probably. But Apostol Paul says:"We are fools for Christ's sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong; ye are honourable, but we are despised". (1Corinthians 4:10)

One of my favourite verses:"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 8:35-39)

We absolutely are not sorry not little bit! No!Instead of that we are very happy! Really! It`s even fun and interesting to have adventures! Because God provided and cared sooo many times.Oh, how many times God sent just in time and huge blessings!We were shocked and amazed!!!We are not sorry because God taught us, He is faithful to His words even we are not faithful, He cares about His children and servants, even no one know but He knows.He bless, He cares, He is our strength, our glory, He is our tower where we can hide in heavy times, He is Heavenly Father, Saviour, Friend, good Shepherd, He is our breath, life.He is everything!!!

 When God blessed so fast and huge that we could speak nothing. Only praise the Lord and lift up our hands in prayer and glorify our Heavenly Father!!!It overwhelmed our hearts and we did stand on knees in prayer of glory.

With tears of happiness, grateful, joy, thrilled and overwhelmed heart I`m typing.It`s tears of happiness because of your love, dear friends!Yes!The reason why I decided to update this blog to tell you thanks!Big thanks for your faithful support, prayers, encouragements and love!
