Praise God!

Thank you Lord that you are always faithful to provide. Today, Charles and I got word from a pastor friend of ours, that he has room at his orphanage for Sanele. This is such an answered prayer for us and for all of you who joined us in prayer. We will be able to bring him there on the 11th. We talked to his mother today and she wants to keep him until then. We feel very good about all of this. At the orphanage, which is about 45 minutes away in a town called Hawane, they will school him through high school and teach him trades like gardening and welding. It will be such a great opportunity for him. We will still get to see him as often as we want to also. Praise God!! He is our Provider!!

Is he available for adoption or will he be? My husband and I are looking to adopt from Africa. I heard that Swaziland was not open to international adoption though.
please E-mail me @ carole_s_turner@yahoo.com if you know of any children that can be adopted there.
Thanks, Carole

PRAISE GOD! That is so incredible! I am so excited for him and for you!

It reminds me of the story of the little boy who was throwing starfish back into the ocean. An old man walked by and asked him what he was doing. The boy answered, "These starfish will die if they stay on dry ground, so I am throwing them back into the water so they can live."
The old man looks along the vast shoreline. "Don't you see how many there are out here?! You don't possibly think you can save them all do you? You don't think that you will really make a difference do you?"
The boy looked at him and without saying a word he picked up a starfish and threw it back into the ocean. He turned back to the old man and responded, "I just made a difference to that one."

Never forget that you are reaching the world by serving one. If for no other reason that Sanele, God's purpose for you in Africa is being fulfilled because of your obedience.

I love you guys. You inspire me. Thank you for sharing your stories and your lives with the children of Swaziland.
