Robi

Normally on Fridays I do a Word post from the Word of God.  Today I am including an important update just received from Wesley Home.


In the last couple of days a girl named Robi, 11 years old was rescued by The Rescue Ministries.  Robi has been orphaned TWICE.  First she was abandoned by her birth mother and was adopted by a Filipino family.  In December 2010 her adoptive father, Pedro, passed away.  Then in May 2011 her adoptive mother passed away.

After the burial of her mother, the siblings of Pedro put all of her things outside the house and padlocked the house so that Robi can't enter.  They believe that because she was the only child of Pedro it will be discovered that she is now the owner of the shanti house.  They do not want her to receive the money for the home if it is sold.

The extended relatives are not willing to care for her because she was adopted into the family and they believe she is not a true relative. 

Robi is dealing with serious trauma because of losing the only parents she has ever known.  Now she has been taken from her home without knowing why her relatives are treating her in this way.

Many dangerous people will have an interest in Robi because of the land and shanti home that she now owns.  Also gang rape is rampant and this child desperately needs to be in an environment where she will be protected.

Please pray for this child's emotional state and that she will feel safe and comfortable in Wesley Home. 

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN SPONSORING ROBI PLEASE CONTACT US! 
TheRescueMinistries.org or email sherylmgent@yahoo.com

She will need the financial support and prayer support of a committed sponsor.


Be fair to the poor and to orphans.
Defend the helpless and everyone in need.
Rescue the weak and homeless from the powerful hands of heartless people.


Psalm 82:3-4

I look forward to seeing Robi in just a few days. There are over 10 other kids that the government has identified in similar situations from that small area that needs our help as well. I look forward to seeing how many doors may be opened up for us so that we can rescue more youth. thanks for posting.
