I read about the children you spend time with and I too am proud of what you all are doing to touch the lives of those children. What an experience for you. I will pray for your group and for the children. Sitting here in my home in Colorado Springs I feel blessed to be so safe and well-fed and comfortable. Sure does bring things into perspective. I will tell my church folk at First United Methodist about the work you and the others are involved in. Blessings to all of you and and prayers are being lifted up for the children of India. Hope you receive this e-mail. I love you very much and think of you and pray for you often. Your Aunt Kathy.

Know that you all are making a difference. Dr. Flint, Greetings to you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Praise the Lord for His sovereignty! I wanted to share with you how your team was used by God to meet an urgent need for our orphanage in India...and you did not even know it! Let me explain... First, we have wonderful news...my wife, Lijy, is expecting a baby girl in August! We are so excited, yet, the pregnancy has come with trials. Lijy has been sick and has had to cut back on her hours working at the hospital. God has met every one of our needs and the needs of our children in the orphanage. We are so thankful the Lord has given us sponsors for some of the children, but the remaining cost is covered from our own pocket. Due to our circumstances we did not have extra to send to the orphanage this month. Just two nights back I talked with Pastor Saji Abraham, the house parent of the orphanage, and told him we need to pray because we do not have the finances to cover the basic needs for the children this month. Immediately, we all began praying, the children as well, that God would provide. Then, the next morning, Brother Eric and his team arrived at the orphanage to visit with the children. They ended up taking Pastor Saji to the market and bought enough food and supplies to last them one month! Praise the Lord! He answered our prayer before the day was over! I just wanted to share how deeply blessed I was by this answer to prayer. I have attached a brochure about the orphanage. We now have 21 children and several others waiting to come into the home. Please keep us in your prayers. Your brother in Christ, Pastor Babu CJ The e-mail posted below came in to Flint this afternoon. Know that you all are making a difference.

Especially as “Westerners” we do not realize how much of the Father’s love Jesus demonstrated when he spoke to, physically touched, and ministered to the needs of people who were poor and outcast. Make no mistake — God’s heart is still for these people! May God bless you all -- and may you be like Jesus to those in need on this trip.
