Free Book Offer!

Why not start off your summer reading with 2 free books? Check out this link for information:
http://tomdavis.typepad.com/tom_daviss_blog/2008/06/how-can-i-get-c.html Tom Davis is the author of Fields of the Fatherless, which is an excellent book and a must read! The Bible is very clear about our responsibility to care for the most vulnerable. Truly, this is at the very heart of our heavenly father. Jesus says in the Bible that he will not leave us as orphans, but will come to us.

Pure and faultless religion is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.
(James 1:27 NIV)

Happy Father's Day!

I wanted to wish all the Dads out there a very Happy Father's Day! The holiday is also a reminder to me of those precious ones who are without a father this father's day. 143 million orphans. Wow. I know the numbers are staggering, but if we just start by reaching out to one. We are the hands and feet of Jesus, and the Bible is clear that the church has a responsibility to respond to this plight. Please prayerfully consider what the Lord is asking of you. I wanted to share a link to a YouTube video that I think is moving: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJmRPdogf7U

I love this quote:

If you think you are too small to make a difference, you have never spent the night with a mosquito. -Saying in Kenya
