That time of year again.

How many years have we been doing this, 5 years now!

We rescued some Christian Refugees fleeing ethnic violence in Rwanda. We provided them clothing and a nice Christmas. Today that family is totally integrated into the Cincinnati local community and very active in church and just about everywhere. They actually give back to those in need themselves

Then we provided Christmas for two young ladies who didn't even have sheets for their bed. They got a nice bedroom set each, warm coats, clothes, and gift certificates. That one was anonymous and included a bible each. Today those families struggle but we did show them Godly love.

We paid the rent for a mexican family, bought them some gifts, and gave another Mexican family the only gifts they got one year. The first family, once facing deportation was rescued by an act of God and today still lives here in the US. Their children were stellar students. THe youngest was chosen by the American association of physicians as the one person most likely to succeed to herself becoming a physician, and today she is in college climbing those steps. The oldest son graduated a 4 year university with an engineering degree and has gone on to now almost finished with his masters in engineering.

Last year we provided furnishings for a Veterans home which had just opened and was devoid of any trappings or nice things. Today that house houses, I think 6-8 otherwise homeless veterans.

Which brings us to this year.

I never like to get out in front of anything God is doing, so I just sit back and wait for him to speak. Well the other day while visiting with Nick at his shop, where we were supposed to be discussing the engine layout for the Burb, we found ourselves talking about homeless kids, and folks in need, and charity. He told me about a home for abused children he volunteered at and right away I knew we had to sow into this place.

So with a tug on my spirit from a mush stronger and infinitely better one, I think we need to get behind several kids, well as many as possible and buy them Christmas. I'd like to dig deeper into this and figure out specifics, as in who needs/wants what. The whole operation is somewhat guarded so that other children will not find out these kids "Live in a home."

But they have to live there for their own safety. Their parents are either abusive, strung out on drugs, missing in action or who knows what. They are not doing what they should or as God intended and while Satan has them wrapped up in his world, I'd like to, on our behalf, show these kids what the kingdom of love has for "the least of these"

Anyone in?

Donate same as always, and if you want to jump in for the first time, please do. as always 100%+ of your donations will go for the kids, none to any of us. We hope to gain nothing, we don't want nor need any recognition, and would perfer to do this in secret.

So let's get at it, see if we can hit $100,000

(Wow, wouldn't that be nice!)

I am humbled by what I see in all of your actions...
