Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this : to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. -James 1:27

Dyana we will miss you!!




Sorry there are doubles, it won't delete for some reason.

Yesterday we had some shocking news that has sadly impacted the children's home. Our wonderful nurse came back about 3 weeks ago from being home for her brother's funeral but hadn't been feeling well since she had returned to Uganda. Yesterday she went into town and did tests to see what was wrong. To her surprise her white blood cell count was extremely too high, indicating that she has Leukemia. How? Why? Since when? We don't know.

So by the blessings of the Lord, flight details were worked out for her to leave tonight back to the US to start treatment.

We had a wonderful prayer meeting to pray healing over her and we know (from experience) that our God is a miracle worker. So we (as staff and kids) are believing total healing over her and that she will return to us one day.

We can't always know or understand things that happen but we know that God does know and that God is good.

Dyana seems in shock, sad, but also hopeful. His grace is sufficient for her and she is holding fast to that. Please be praying for her!!!

What a blessing that prayer meeting must have been. God is so faithful and I agree totally that He is good and works miracles. I am sad for all of you and for Dyana. Thanks for the blog updates Natalie.
