Update

11 02 2009

I’m sitting on the Venable’s wrap around porch in New Zealand right now, not far from the ocean, trying to process all we’ve seen and heard over the last six weeks and asking the Lord how He wants my life to be different as a result.  Please do pray with us that we would hear His voice clearly and respond in obedience and joy.

So many faces surface as I think about our trip.  Ahmad is surely among them.  We got an encouraging update from PLC the other day and I wanted to pass it along.  They are now only $5000 short of the $90000 needed to not only send Ahmad to surgery but all the children that were screened that day we just happened to be Iraq!  Thank you for giving and if you haven’t yet but have a desire to, please consider helping finish up this last $5000.

You know, I’m not a very emotional person and with my job I often have to weed out the “frauds”, but after reading this post I teared up w/ joy. I don’t even know these kids, but it’s comforting to know that they’re getting the help they need. Thanks for all the stories, ladies…it warms my heart to know that faith and patience still exist and that God answers when you call. I think I’ve forgotten that lately.
