In just 44 short hours, you helped us raise $2,255.
Combined with the previous total from earlier in the week, that makes $3,535!

We were able to get the necessary money off to Mary today, which means that she will be able to pay for all four children to enter high school in just 3 weeks! What a HUGE answer to prayer! Furthermore, $1,335 will remain (and grow, thanks to a few new monthly sponsors) in an account that we have started here. We are confident that we will be able to use the money from this account to make payments each term and help all 4 children graduate from high school over the course of the next three years.
Because of God's leading and your willingness to respond, share, pray, and give: every single orphan at the Offin Children's Centre will now be receiving an education that could potentially change the course of his/her life. No one will be left behind because of insufficient funds. No one will wonder when it's going to be his or her turn. Every single child will have the hope of a productive and fulfilling future.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
I came across the following quote this afternoon {someone else always seems to say it better than I can.}
It's from an interview with Dr. Jane Aronson, founder and CEO of Worldwide Orphans, a nonprofit organization that provides direct services to orphaned children globally. The entire interview is definitely worth watching, but her words below are what really struck something in my heart today.

Adoption may not be for everyone. Sponsorship may not be either. But orphan care IS.
In the past week, YOU {our community, whether in our town or in our hearts} heard about a need and you responded. The challenge is to never stop listening, and never stop responding.
Thanks for partnering with us as we accept this challenge and expect God to move!
