In Matthew 15:34 Jesus asked the
disciples "How much bread do you have?" they replied, "sevel loaves, and a small few fish."
WHAT? ONLY this to feed the multitudes, the thousands that are hungry? The thousands that are seeking something from a man who brings hope for a future, dignity to the poor, health to the sick, peace to the hurting?

The other
day, one of the LAMb missionaries posted a blog with all of the needs that they
have facing them personally and the LAMb team in general. Surgeries, home
for transitional teens, Dayspring sponsorship's, orphan sponsors, senior
sponsors, training supplies, travel needs, the list goes on. Want to see
what I mean: Act of Kindness.
Take a look. It can feel overwhelming. But the needs are
legitimate. Can you imagine how much this weighs on the hearts of the
LAMb team to want to help, to want to make things just a bit better, to bless
those they come in contact with? It takes support. Support from
those of us here in the comforts of our North America homes where we have
SOOOOO much more than those in these third world countries, those who live with
unstable governments, those who see there is so much more to be done in their
own country if only they had a little help to get started.
Today I was
talking with a friend about Randy and I going to an adoption conference this
weekend to represent LAMb. My heart is heavy with the burden to find
support. It hurts not knowing how to get the word out. My prayer
each time we do this is to reach a heart of an individual, a pastor, someone
that sees that they can do something to help support a missionary team and make
a difference in the life of someone whom they may never meet. She
mentioned that she wishes and prays for the day when they have the money to support
missions. I realized instantly that we so often don't even realize that
$10 a month can make a BIG difference. Why? Because one $10's here
and another here comes to $20. Maybe someone can donate $20 a month or
more and then the support goes up! We start to meet the needs that we
mention because one person realized that their $10 DOES make a difference.
Look at the boy and the seven loaves of bread and a few fishes . . .
Jesus didn't scoff and such a small amount when faced with the thousands . . .
He multiplied the givings and fed the thousands. God still works in the
land of miracles. He hasn't stopped since Jesus went to be in heaven
with Him.
I want to
get the word out that $10 a month to help an orphan, senior or a family in need
will grow. It will grow and those who give will be blessed. God
doesn't look at the amount, He looks at the giver and the deepest part of their
heart and blesses them for helping those in need.
Please DON'T
EVER think that $10 can do nothing . . . if ONLY you knew what God can do with
that $10!!!!!
Be blessed
my friend!
