1 Amazing Week of Fundraising - BFL'

"In you the orphan finds mercy.”

Hosea 14:3

The week of our 'Bread For Life' Christmas Open House,

we raised a total of

$2,000!

Only. God.

I mailed my check today to IVO so when they travel

to Uganda in 9 days, this money will help start

the building process of Praise's new dormitories for the girls!

Woo-Hoo!

I'm PRAISING the Lord because I KNOW it's ALL HIM.

He IS the Father to the fatherless

and He is using this little bread ministry

to provide for His children.

It is such a blessing to have a front row seat at God's Work.

Altogether we had 163 loaves of bread and from that,

we raised $2000 and even had bread left over!

God is TRULY AMAZING!

Thank you to EVERYONE who purchased a loaf of bread

or just gave generously through 'Bread For Life' for this project.

Without your support, love and prayers

we couldn't make such an impact

on so many little lives.

So thank you!

Really, thank you!

Would you believe me if I told you...

this little bread baking ministry is 1 year old

and I believe we are pushing the $20,000 mark!

It's true.

I am blown away!

(I'm doing my books after the first of the year and I will let you know

but I think we are pretty darn close.)

Unbelievable...

Or is it?

NOTHING is impossible with God!

When we step out in faith, God holds our hands.

He does things that we could not even imagine would be possible.

The Bible says it all. We just need to believe!

"Jesus looked at them and said,

'With man this is impossible,

but with God all things are possible.”

Matthew 19:26

Together,

we are helping a child,

one loaf at a time!

Happy New Year!!

Today our family is on a mission. However, our story began back in 2003. We were married, blessed with 3 beautiful children and the world’s best loving little Shiz-Tu of a man-dog! (We really love him. Probably too much. But that is not what this blog is about!) My husbands name is Chris but my kids and I call him ‘Papa’! We have been married for over 8 years. We have seen some amazing mountain tops in our marriage and we have also swam in the depths of the oceans floor. We know that God is alive, working and ALL POWERFUL. We are living proof! Our children are amazing. They REALLY do make us laugh. So many times we just look at each other and shake our heads because they are so cute and unpredictable. They force us to learn humility, mercy and grace constantly and we fail daily. It’s actually very sobering. We are completely broken people. Sinners in need of grace, forgiveness and mercy like you need air and water. We give our brokenness to Jesus. We turn in all our failures and sinful ways in hopes that Jesus will use these vessels (our lives, our bodies) for His ultimate and complete Glory and unto His Kingdom. What is this blog about? It’s about Jesus and Orphans! As you will read, we are now on a mission. To love the orphan! To serve HIS children and help provide for any urgent needs we encounter. We originally were praying about adoption. However, we are now praying that the Lord would just SEND US, if that is His plan. We have started a ministry called, "Bread For Life" and we bake and sell bread to help raise money for children in need. It began in December of 2011, we have raised almost $20,000! This little ministry is being turned into a non-profit and we are seeking the Lord for what He has in store for us next. If you can get past all the misspelled words, run on sentences and confusing grammar than sit back and be encouraged! God is on the move in our hearts and we are thrilled! We invite you to laugh, cry, pray, rejoice and hope that Christ be glorified through our lives. There is a war to fight and we are headed to battle! This is our mission, Our Story. (To start at the beginning of our blog, click here. The first few post tells the story how all this gave birth. Happy Blog-Reading!)
