| "Pure and genuine religion in the sight of
God the Father means caring for orphans and widows in their
distress and refusing to let the world corrupt you."
James
1:27 (NLT)
Miraculously, God of Wonder
Ministries, Int. received all the necessary paperwork to be
recognized as a Non Government Organization (NGO) in Ghana
in less than a month!
Weeks
of traveling, looking at land, potential children's home
sites, and meeting officials has finally brought forth an
'official' organization able to care for Orphaned and
Vulnerable Children.
Larry
has been busy, on the traffic clogged roads traveling from
office to office, and preparing and preaching at local
churches. The wonderful people of Ghana have welcomed us
with open arms!
Last
week, we stopped by a little store and saw a young girl not
much older than our twin 3 year olds crying on the floor.
With a high fever, the girl lay lethargically on a mat on
the floor. Her mother had no money to take her to a doctor,
and she had been getting worse for several days.
As an
American mother, Beki had Tylenol in the diaper bag, and
with the quick trip home we returned with the necessary
medication to treat the malaria she obviously was suffering
from. We checked back a couple days later and received a
good report and a happy smile.
There
are so many more needs here in Ghana. For many the simple
medications are a luxury and just not within reach.
We are grateful that God has given us
the privilege to share His love in Ghana and that He put us
in the right place at the right time.
