Answered Prayer

The beginning of 2016 was very busy for me as a business owner.  Overall, I am glad to have finished 2015 well.  As a pastor's wife, I am committed to teaching children and reaching out to them, especially regarding their spiritual needs. I have been doing this since I was in high school.  Our church has been working with the children in our community. In previous years, our church had enough funds to schedule a feeding ministry for less fortunate children, and we held this program once a month.  For the past two years, we have only set the schedule for the children's fellowship whenever there are available funds.

During Christmas time, of course, the children in our community expect that we will have a special fellowship for them.  They keep visiting me at the store, asking when our fellowship will be.  I told them to just wait and pray.  You can find most of these children in the streets collecting empty boxes, bottles, and cans to sell at junk shops.  This is their families' way of earning money to feed themselves for the day.  Some of the children choose to skip their classes and stay in the market or streets to collect scraps to earn. I explained to these children that I can't always supply them with the things they need because I am not the source of blessings .  It's not appropriate to expect or ask other people to fulfill our needs.  The right thing to do is to pray and ask God for whatever we need, because it is God who truly provides; He just uses people to channel the blessings.  From that day, these children started praying as I told them.  God's answer was very quick.

Pakner4lyf received a message from his niece that her husband, Jade, is going to celebrate his birthday. They came up with the idea to celebrate his birthday by  throwing a party for less fortunate children.  Indeed, the prayers of these little children were heard by the Lord. This makes me so happy and I look forward to this event. It is wonderful that we already have food sponsors for the children's fellowship.

We have finished sending out the invitations to every children.  And I had worked on few decorations for the party and.  I am also thankful for the volunteers who pledge to help and added funds to help in the program preparation and administration.  Setting up this kind of event is a lot of work and requires finance but I still love organizing this kind of ministry.  The work gets easier and lighter because of the people who share their part to help this ministry continue.  I thank you all for your generosity and responding to God's call.

Pray with us for the success of this event, hoping that all the children can attend.  We aim to have 100 children join us for the party as we share God's great love with them. The fellowship will take place tomorrow, January 13, 2015, at 4pm at Christ Stewards Fellowship Hall.
