PLEASE take the time to watch this video
It is beyond difficult to know that we have TWO children sitting in an orphanage
in one of the most dangerous countries in the world
It is heart breaking knowing that they go to sleep each night without the love of a family
It is so hard for us to sit and feel as though we are
POWERLESS
Did you know that the Democratic Republic of Congo is the SECOND most dangerous place in the ENTIRE WORLD for women?
Can you imagine knowing that you had to wake up EVERY day of YOUR LIFE with great fear that you could be raped, mutilated or murdered?
Can you imagine someone breaking into YOUR home and taking YOUR children just to build their army of hate?
Can you imagine YOUR wife, YOUR mother YOUR sister or YOUR daughter being taken and used as a sex slave for hate filled warriors?
Where MY children are... it is called the "rape capital of the world"
What if YOUR children were there?
It is said that nearly 48 women PER HOUR are raped in the Democratic Republic of Congo
48 WOMEN EVERY HOUR ARE RAPED
When I ask you to pray for our children does this help you understand the URGENCY of the need?
When I ask you to pray for me, their mommy, it is because I am awake WEEPING trying to NIGHTLY place them in the Father's hands.. knowing I can do NOTHING to comfort, protect or help them.
Do you understand that when I BEG for your financial help, it is not because it just takes the burden off a us a little... NOT AT ALL! It is because I do NOT have $40,000 PLUS dollars sitting in an account and I NEED IT! I need to bring my children home and that is one HUGE step in getting them here.
This week has been very hard for me
I don't think I have ever written a post like this but my heart is OVERWHELMED
God has called us to be their parents.
They are OUR responsibility
Until now They have had NO ONE fighting for them, no one being their VOICE!
The second we saw their faces... ALL OF THAT CHANGED!!
This is
US
FIGHTING FOR THEM
" Learn to do right! Seek justice, encourage the oppressed. Defend the cause of the fatherless "
Isaiah 1:17
PS...sometimes a MOMMA SNAPS ;)
