To Our Faithful Supporters: As we progress through an unprecedented time of financial crisis many of us are confused and possibly very angry. Having lived through the early 1930s economic depression, I recall my family losing everything. We lived in a “rat infested apartment” with the neon lights blinking all night out side of my bedroom window. No central heating and a quarter in the water meter would give us enough water for one bath. There was no shower! Even as a young boy every day was a fearful challenge. God was so distant and somewhat of an illusion in my daily life. And then World War II shook our nation into action! I am sure many who read my personal reflections have had similar experiences. However, I had no concept of how God fit into my life. This is my point in sharing my brief remarks. In times such as we now experience our world seems to be in continued global moral and economic bankruptcy. Perhaps that is too strong description. However, the third chapter of Genesis strengthens that statement. I now know how God fits into my life. He has given me a new life by freely accepting Him personally into my life. Consequently, what I can say positively is that a Biblical view of current world events grounded on truth has given me an inner peace. In other words, and this applies to both Anne and me, in serving His abandoned children as we have done for over twenty years, we have invested in riches that are eternally secure ”where moth and rust cannot destroy.” In a worldly sense we are poor but miracles have saved the lives of many, many beautiful children. “The fruit of righteousness will be peace; the effect of righteousness will be quietness and confidence forever.” Isaiah 32:17

God blesses those who love Him!

Ed and Anne
