Hope in Haiti…One Couple’s Journey to Change (from Philip & Kim Ellis)

I met Carlos at the Anahiem Boys & Girls Club. He is 5 years old & wants to either be a policeman or a soccer player.  Right now he comes to the Boys & Girls Club because his dad works & his mom is in Mexico. He said he doesn’t see her much.

…all Carlos wanted was for me to play soccer with him.

I’ll probably never see him again, but being present with him for just a few hours makes me realize just how much I have to be grateful for.  I gave Carlos the small Disney pin I was wearing and prayed for him as I left.  I realize that may not be enough, but our time together gave more to me than he may ever realize.

The Anahiem Boys & Girls Club serves approx 3,000 children ages 5 to 18 a week most of whom live in hotel rooms.  Laundry Love could be an incredible blessing to these families.

Love this post from People of the Second Chance titled “Chase the Prodigals

“We must zealously search the forgotten places of our world looking for the fallen”

I have three things I’d like to say to you today. First, while you were sleeping last night, 30,000 kids died of starvation or diseases related to malnutrition. Second, most of you don’t give a shit. What’s worse is that you’re most upset with the fact that I said shit than the fact that 30,000 kids died last night

A morning at The Farm after a rain reminds me that everything is in His hands & hope is still very much alive in the world.
