Watermark in Africa

On November 13, I told you a story about a child-headed home we met that was in great need of help.  Click here to read the story.

When I arrived at the office this morning, I received an update about Richard and his siblings.  We have been able to provide for their most urgent needs, such as mattresses, cooking supplies, sheets, and food.  When Molly brought the provision to Richard, he said “I thought nobody cares for us, but God is great.”  His sister, Sheila, was so overwhelemed that she was speechless for several minutes.  Then she spoke of the miraculous provision.

We also received a proposal to build them a new home.  Watermark humbly approved the proposal, as we thank God that He is allowing us to play a part in being His means of grace to these children.  We will be sending the funds to ALARM immediately, so construction can begin as soon as possible.

Please be praying for Richard and his family, as well as Molly and the others ministering to them.  Pray we would continue to look for God’s hand and calling around us, that we would have ears to hear and eyes to see, as well as a willing heart to respond.
