Word

Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words.

Romans 8:26

Prayer

I would like to ask you to join us in prayer. 

We are asking God to provide the funds to complete Step 1 of Building WHY.  We are already 1/3 of the way there.  Land has been donated and now needs to be cleared and secured with fencing.

Please pray with us as we begin this new chapter!

And of Joseph he said, “Blessed by the Lord be his land, with the choicest gifts of heaven above, and of the deep that crouches beneath, with the choicest fruits of the sun and the rich yield of the months, with the finest produce of the ancient mountains and the abundance of the everlasting hills,  with the best gifts of the earth and its fullness and the favor of him who dwells in the bush.

Deuteronomy 33:13-16

Second Chance

This song has been in my mind and heart today.  I am so grateful for many second chances that God has given me during my life and will continue to give.

My future hangs on this

You made preciousness from dust

Please don't stop creating me

Your blood offers the chance

To rewind to innocence

Reborn, perfect as a child

Oh your cross, it changes everything

There my world begins again with you

Oh your cross, its where my hope restarts

A second chance is Heaven's heart

Countless second chances

We've been given at the cross

Countless second chances

We've been given at the cross

Fragments of brokenness

Salvaged by the art of grace

You craft life from our mistakes

Black skies of my regrets

Outshone by this kindness

New life dawns over my soul

Oh your cross, it changes everything

There my world begins again with you

Oh your cross, its where my hope restarts

A second chance is Heaven's heart

Countless second chances

We've been given at the cross

Countless second chances

We've been given at the cross

The words "A second chance is Heaven's heart", these are the words that dig into my heart and mind.  How precious to know that our savior wants to give us more chances!  We must only come back to the cross.

Thankful, Sheryl

Word

Hebrews 7:25

Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.

John Noel

**There seems to have been a glitch in the posting of the information about John Noel.  I don't want to take a chance on this child being overlooked so I am reposting to make sure it is highlighted appropriately!



Eight year old John Noel joined Wesley Home for Youth in December 2011. He is small for his age, but very independent.

When John Noel arrived, he and his two younger siblings had been living with his grandfather.  His mother is a working single mother and is not able to care for the children. 

At a young age he has learned to become independent and takes care of his two younger siblings. At home he helps doing the household chores and does simple errands for his family.

John Noel is currently in grade 2.  He maintains average grades in school but could excel with supervision and extra study time.

John Noel is currently in need of committed monthly sponsors.  What can you give to help this child?  Click here to donate today.

Thankful, Sheryl

Container

The Rescue Ministries exists because of one God-sized event after another.  And yet we are experiencing another!

A generous donor is using his time and his resources to provide shipment of a large shipping container to the Philippines!

So now we need to pool our own resources and fill this HUGE container!  That's the easy part, right?

We are confident that God will supply all our needs, but we must ask. 

Below is a list of potential items that we would love to send over.

Bibles

Vitamin C

First Aid items or kits

Sewing Machines

Flip-flops

Books

Craft Supplies

Basketballs

Volleyballs

We are also looking for one particular item and maybe you have one available or know someone who does.  We are in great need of a large van, small bus or a similar vehicle.  Vehicle are very expensive in the Philippines and we currently don't have a way to transport our kids.

Where can you help?  Consider your resources... do you have Bibles stacked on bookshelf that aren't being used?  an working sewing machine that hasn't been used in a while?  craft supplies overflowing in your craft room?

Consider giving!

Thankful, Sheryl
