How can we understand the plight of an orphan if don't walk in their shoes? Communicating the needs of millions of voiceless children around the world, helping the Holy Spirit prick the hearts of His people, restoring hope to the hopeless.
The story is not mine. It is theirs. And for many, it is being penned with tears of great suffering. Their story has all the twists and turns of a best selling novel.
It is the heart-wrenching and heartwarming story of more than 143 million orphans. The ending of the story for many of these children has yet to be written. For some death is certain and for others it is still unclear.
But with a little effort and a lot of prayer WE can write the ending.
This is my journey, the journey of a lifetime: to be a voice for the voiceless, a hand for the helpless, a shelter for the homeless and a shield for the defenseless.
Sounds ambitious ... it is! This road is not easy, the pathway rocky and sometimes dark and treacherous.
But I will not be afraid because there are giant foot prints leading the way -- imprinted by the feet of the one who sees them completely, knows their suffering and loves them more than what is measurable.
My only act is to follow His steps with great love and great passion one step at a time!
