It really is miraculous how the Lord provides! One of the things that make Living Water Adopt A Child unique is that we don’t just feed and care for the sponsored children attending our programs, every child who comes along is genuinely looked after. We never turn a child away.
In earthly terms, this makes no sense, especially during this time when costs are rising in both Guatemala and Albania. In some cases, costs have raised by as much as 30%. Our sponsorship base has not increased by 30%, but we continue to care for “the least of these,” day in and day out.
Now that all of our feeding programs in the mountains of Guatemala are open again, many new children are coming along to eat who were too young to be part of the program before Covid. We always require the permission of parents before we register any child for sponsorship, so we recently let it be known that we would be registering children into the program on a certain day. Parents and guardians were asked to come with their children that day to sign the registration paperwork.
We didn’t know how many would want to have their child formally registered and we were blown away when over 900 turned up to register their child with our ministry.
Several sets of twins and triplets were among those who registered. What a privilege and responsibility we have to share the love of Jesus with these children and their families.
In Albania, we continue to provide food boxes for every registered child, and in some cases, we have blessed the families so much that they needed to fetch donkeys to carry everything home!
New children are always coming along to hear about our savior Jesus who is interested in them and cares for them.
Despite the strain this understandably puts on our limited resources, we are trusting our limitless God. We are actively looking for new sponsors to join us who will enable us to carry on with this model which blesses so many who have so little.
Please join us in praying that we find new sponsors for these precious children. We also encourage our current sponsors to consider the possibility of sponsoring another child. Thank you for your continued support of our mission to care for “the least of these!”
