“Bright eyes gladden the heart;
Good news puts fat on the bones.”
Proverbs 15:20
If good news puts fat on the bones,
we are getting mighty fluffy with all this good news coming in!
Some of the treasures at House of Praise.
Yesterday I put the call out to help build a home for House of Praise.
There was a matching grant given to IVO
The Lord knew the need and stirred a bunch of your hearts.
At this moment, with about 30 people contributing, we have raised just over $10,000.
The Matching Grant is for 12,500.
So adding the $10,000 to the Matching Grant – that is $20,000.
{To those who donated to House of Praise these last couple of days, check your inbox on Friday morning, Lord willing, there will be a special treat there! Yay!}
Dw and the team were driving to Emma’s home as I shared
the news of the donations.
There was some serious joy going on in the van!
The June 2013 GO Team cannot thank you enough.
The children at House of Praise cannot thank you enough.
We cannot thank you enough.
God is so good
and you guys are such a blessing.
PS If, by chance, you are still wondering about donating,
there is still $2,500 in matching grant money, thanks to those very generous
friends of the orphan and IVO.
Rejoice with us!
Those who give to the poor
will lack
nothing!
Proverbs 29:27
WAHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rejoicing with you and YES YES YES!!!!!! GO GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Totally Waaaahoooo!! God is faithful and really, all praise and honor GO to Him and Him alone!
Praising God! Wonderful news…
Oh my friend – such wonderful news indeed!
Jeremy is part of the Go team. I am home with the 6 kids- I have thought many times the last few days that Jeremy is in Africa, I am home – we deserve to eat out! HA! we don't deserve anything- we are so blessed. So instead of eating out – we just made a donation. I can't wait to hear the stories when Jeremy gets home.
Awwww Kim, we have done that many, many times as well. We talk daily about the 925 million people around the world who are hungry today. We are so grateful that Jeremy went along. Thank you for encouraging him to GO
Oh Linny I am going to join the donations as well. Just got crazy over here. I know we have not connected yet and I know it must be crazy with DW gone. If there is any chance you can get in touch with me that would be great so I can figure out getting this to you. I hope that makes sense. Hopefully you remember my email. So excited to pray and give and see the miracles He does for these children.
Love
Lori
I have your number – I will call. It always takes a few days after he goes for life to kind of "settle". This week-end! xo
Such wonderful news!! Praising God who stirs the hearts of those who faithfully and joyfully give!!
Thank you Jen. It's such a blessing to see so many care about the kids at House of Praise. Thank you so much for being one of them!
awesome!!! my eyes widened at the $10,000 donation from 30 people, that is just awesome news! praise the Lord!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀
Isn't it amazing? God moves because He has a plan and it *will* be accomplished. Such joy for all those who are part of this in one way or another…He is faithful!
All Glory to God! His hand is not short! His Word is true! His love is long reaching! His judgment is pure! When He puts a work to be done into the heart of man He provides and sees it thru leaving no stone unturned and provides all that is needed. Praise God!
He has done above and beyond all we could think or ask. He is amazing!
Dear Linny and DW,
I just mailed IVO a $3,000 check from my small business. I'm letting you know now via the comments because it will take several days to reach you. And I want God to get all the glory for the business He has graciously given me. He provides for me and my 4 internationally adopted kids, 3 of who have significant special needs. And I want to help get all of those matching dollars!! I share your dedicated heart for the orphan. Thank you for providing an avenue for me to participate in this important work.
I am ever so grateful for the willing and obedient hearts of all of your family members.
Thank you!
Susan
