Kids Can Make A Difference

We want to introduce you to our new friend Cara Morrison. Cara & Isabelle didn't know each other until about 2 weeks ago, but I believe God has had their hearts knit together for some time. Cara is from Northwest Missouri & she has been working to raise $4000 to buy land for an orphanage in Zambia, Africa so they can have a garden. The week Isabelle was on TV, Cara was preparing for a talent show she had organized to raise the funds necessary to buy the land. She was so blessed & encouraged to see what Isabelle was doing, that she wanted to contact her & invite her to the talent show. Unfortunately we were unable to make it to the talent show, but Cara raised over $1000 & had a surprise visit from a touring African Children's Choir!!! Isn't that awesome!!! WAY TO GO CARA!!

When Isabelle was interviewed by Harry Smith - he asked her if she really thought little kids could make a difference - her response "they can!" This is probably my favorite line from her interviews. She has never doubted that she could make a difference for orphans - EVER. She has NO doubt that other kids can do the same thing! God used Isabelle's story at just the right time to encourage many, but specifically Cara who was working hard to get her talent show ready!

Cara & Isabelle got to speak by phone a week ago & are making plans to meet in person & play as 8 year olds do! This God-ordained connection continues to prove that God is moving to create awareness about the plight of orphans in ways that as human we cannot manufacture or create. He is moving kids, adults, grandparents, college students, business owners, small groups - will you be apart?

YOU CAN DO SOMETHING! What will it be? We would love for you to connect with Isabelle's Global Orphan Project . . . please leave us a post or contact the Global Orphan Project for more details. www.theglobalorphanproject.org

We intend to post updates on the progress of Isabelle's home as they are available. She is very close to finishing the 3rd home. Thanks to everyone who has donated, prayed, & encouraged her! We will update as we have info. . .

Why I Love Orphans

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!!! I feel this year will be full of promise and God's blessings.  Lately, I have been thinking about the true reason behind why I help orphans.  My work for Him comes from three main principles:  1.  Wait for HIS timing. Waiting on Him requires patience, it's not always easy, but who said following God and having patience would be easy? 2.  TRUST His plan for me. Trusting in Him is the basics of faith!  When you trust Him, you are showing Him you believe in and want His plan for your life. 3.  I couldn't let a problem go UNANSWERED.  After hearing about orphans and the daily struggles in their lives, I couldn't just stand back and watch.  I wanted to do something more.  Helping orphans, I believe is what God is asking me to do, now and in my future life.  These children mean to much to me, as a teenager I know what it means to have a good home, a warm bed and nice clothes. They don't have that ...

World Mandate 2012

"Worship God, Change the World!"  World Mandate 2012 Waco, TX 5,000 people, awesome worship, amazing speakers, rich times of prayer, hilarious laughter, and IMPACT NOW - a creative place to engage and do something to CHANGE THE WORLD! We love the vision, the heart, the passion behind World Mandate - it's a place to catch vision, to be inspired, and to be moved into action for God's purposes in the world. In September 2011, Isabelle designed a WM exclusive card in order to raise funds to build a home in Rukore Village, Uganda.  She sold out of the 300 boxes and we had to take orders for more.  The home was built in March 2012 and the children have moved in!  This completed her 9th home!! This year for WM, Isabelle designed a new card based on photos she'd seen of the home in Rukore, Uganda.  We took 400 boxes - that's 4000 cards to sell with all of the proceeds going to the life care costs for the children living in that home for 3 years. ...
