Releasing children from poverty in Jesus' name {Two post today}

Email Header - w/logo

For many years I've wanted to do foreign missionary work.  But for one reason after another, I always had things that came up, prohibiting me from experience my dream and taking action.

At this point in my life now, I am finally seeing God slowly moving in my desire.  I must say that, He is moving in a new and very different way.  From the comfort and safety of my home, I am able to sit at my computer, write to you and share my hearts desire of wanting to help children ocean miles away.

The video that I am choosing to share with you today is a "webisode from Missions in Actions highlighting children in poverty where Compassion works."


Dear friend, just like me, you have a voice and a sphere of influence.  You may not be able to jump on a plane to go help a child in impoverished circumstances, but Your God and their God has given you a way to help them in the name of Jesus.


Today, please slow down.  You can start by slowing down long enough to watch this video and then help someone.  Help someone who is less fortunate than you.

Get involved.

Please visit the site and read the story of one of my favorite Compassion Bloggers.  She and her husband has just recently, I think Nov. 12, returned home from a mission trip... seeing first hand the difference they are making as sponsors and her being a Compassion Blogger.

Her blog is here, A Holy Experience.

Thank you.

    Angela - thank you so much for sharing this. I loved reading about your heart for missions and how you are allowing God to use you even though, right now, you are not directly in the mission field. Thank you for using your voice to speak up for children in poverty. It is powerful!

    Bri — thank you so much for responding.  So many people don't respond when I share this story.  I almost didn't share because the quiteness is so loud when I post about Compassion, but it it my heart and I love it so.

    Thanks!!!

 FYI: ' Walter & Valerie Shepard  As many of you know, I love Elisabeth Elliot.  It is through Elisabeth Elliot, my mentor, that I came to accept and learned how to accept God's will for my life.  Last year, Valerie, Elisabeth and Jim Elliot's daughter honored me by letting me interview her.  She was vague because she has plans on sharing her family story in some manner in the near future, but knowing how I felt about her mother and how much this interview would mean to so many of you she spoke with me via email.   How does your family celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas? We had company often for Thanksgiving, and we always had a " Pilgrim reading " and saying what we each were thankful for around the table. For Christmas we were not often inviting people for dinner because our older children wanted " just family ". We always opened stockings around 7-8 AM, had a Breakfast of baked apples, and either a sweet bread or their favorite "s...

Many of you have inquired about injuries that Lars Gren and his wife Elisabeth Elliot Gren sustained in their car accident.  As of June 14, 2012: Lars is in Ma., staying with friends since he is not able to drive til Aug. per Valerie.  He fractured a c-2 in his neck and had surgery for a screw to be fused to the bone, and is not getting as well, as quickly as he'd liked. Lars and Valerie had to make the decision to put Elisabeth in a facility because Val could no longer care for her. Elisabeth's stay in the facility will be brief, as Val plans on taking her back to Ma, once she returns from the UK {Val is helping her daughter Elisabeth with her 4th baby}. For those of you who would like to send Elisabeth well wishes, I have her mailing address, just e-mail me and I will give it to you. Many have asked if you could download the picture of E.E & Val.  I'm afraid that you can't.  I really do appreciate you asking before taking the liberty to do s...

I n January 1956 the world was shocked when learning that five American missionaries had been speared to death in the Equardorian jungles by the Auca Indians who were reported, at that time, to be the most savage tribe on earth.  "What seemed to all the world like a tragic ending of the missionaries' dream to reach this isolated tribe was only the first chapter of one of the most breathtaking missionary stories of the twentieth century" In the video below the wives of the five men speak of their husbands. Below are some pictures of Jim & Elisabeth Elliot's daughter Valerie Elliot Shepard and her family.  For any of you who have Elisabeth's book The Savage My Kinsman , she's the little blond haired darling who is all grown up now with not only children of her own, but grandchildren too.  Valerie gave me access to these pictures to share about a year and a half-ago now.  I had them up on one of my blogs, but took them down because folks were dow...
