God has helped me to get my pc fixed and better than new, thank God. I did not realize how much God was pouring into my life from this net. I have found a lot of renewal and strength pouring into my body as I am learning to soak in the presence of the Lord. I know my strength comes from the Lord the maker of Heaven and Earth. Yes I still suffer from cronic pain, but as my focus is stayed on Him and not on the pain, I almost forget about it. I have been able to do more each day as I continue to draw close to Him. Praise God for his faithfullness!
Bob

God is so good and He knows our every need, and sometimes even uses some of us to help others along the way.

Lord Bless,

I think you are on the right track. God will lead you as you keep stepping out like your doing. ActualMaureen is involve with a ministry that rescues children from the sex trade. Pastor Fred is involved with an orphanage in Africa also.
It was a great blessing for me last week to meet a family who started attending my church who actually adopted a girl from the sex trade in south America. What a blessing for us to know that this kind of ministry works. You would be blessed by the ministries God has raised up to help children. check out; www.missionfinder.org/orphanages

DEAREST, SWEET, MANDY
I WILL UPHOLD YOU IN PRAYER... MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES... MAY YOU FLOURISH AND BLOSSOM IN YOUR NEW CHALLENGE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS. I APPRECIATE IT SO SINCERELY.

TAKE CARE AND MAY YOU EXPERIENCE GOD'S BLESSINGS IN ABUNDANCE.

CHILDREN ARE SO PRECIOUS AND THEY NEED TENDER LOVING CARE ALWAYS.

I AM SO VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT CHILDREN. THEY NEVER INTENTIONALLY HURT ANYBODY AND THERE IS SO MUCH HURT WHICH THEY EXPERIENCE! JESUS CARED ABOUT THE LITTLE CHILDREN AND MAY YOU BE BLESSED RICHLY AND IN ABUNDANCE. I PRAY FOR YOU FOR STRENGTH - YOU HAVE THE COURAGE!

FOND LOVE IN JESUS
YOUR VERY EARNEST AND TRUE FRIEND
RAMONA P.

My dearest Mandy and family
Thinking of you this cold winter morning in "Sunny South Afrca" but I feel warm when I think of you... God bless you. Keep up the good work. We do not always see results but God is working in you and through you.

I am so very passionate about children and babies. They cannot fend for themselves. I also have a special charity MARANATHA . They used to collect money from my home but with the high cost of fuel I suggested that I do a deposit via internet. If each of us, who can, just give a wee bit of time or money AND LOVE we could change the world...But we can't.. BUT GOD CAN!

Let us take hands and keep praying. Let us carry someone's burdens and make the load lighter - every little drop helps. I comfort myself by saying this because I would love to give much more - reminds me of the Fidler on the Roof "If I were a rich man (woman)". Usually it is ordinary people like myself who make a difference. I think when one becomes too wealthy (not all but most) we tend not to think of the less privileged.

God bless you and give you strength and grace beyond imagination.

You are a tender child of Jesus... Stay as sweet as you are : I am convinced THAT GOD HAS CHOSEN YOU because you remind me of a Sunflower! Face up (smiling) at the sun BECAUSE JESUS LIVES! AMEN...

Fondest love to you all
Ramona P.

This is awesome, some one said recently we have to step out of our confort zone to really begin to expearence the richness of christ in our lives. My friend from my church, Anita hear about this event you all were having. It is awesome that a lot more Christian music groups are becoming real ministry tools for the Lord.
I recieved a real blessing the other night. A young man 21 years old was with a group of us traveling to a meeting. During the meeting the Lord gave me a word of knowledge that this young man was called to be a pastor. I was hesitant to give it to him because I don't know him only seen him a few times over the years because his dad was a pastor of a methodist church in Rutland. I stepped out and told him, then I told him I was just confirming what God was already telling him. He burst into weaping and was just waiting for a confirmation. I was so blessed by the whole thing. I told him that I would be thier the first day he preached when he becomes a pastor.
Well I have to get myself ready for church.
Blessings
Bob

DEAREST PRECIOUS MANDY
I READ YOUR NOTE WITH GREAT INTEREST... MARI (MY DAUGHTER) IS INVOLVED AT THE BABY HOME FOR ABANDONED BABIES AND MOST OF THEM DO, IN FACT, HAVE AIDS (HIV). THEY ARE THE MOST PRECIOUS LITTLE BABIES AND JESSICA JUST ADORES THEM. (JESSICA IS MY GRANDDAUGHTER). JESSICA WANTS TO BE A HOUSE MOTHER TO THESE BABIES WHEN SHE GROWS UP. HOW CAN PEOPLE IGNORE THE FACT THAT THE MAJORITY OF ABANDONED BABIES ARE HIV POSITIVE?

GOD BLESS THE SCANDANAVIAN PEOPLE WHO ADOPT THESE LITTLE ONES. I THINK I TOLD YOU THAT DUTCH (HOLLAND) SWEDISH, DANISH, GERMAN ETC, PEOPLE ADOPT A LOT OF OUR BABIES (SOUTH AFRICAN).

A CHILD IS A CHILD... SO VULNERABLE AND HELPLESS! THAT IS WHY I STILL WEEP FOR MY LITTLE XOLANI (GIFT).

YOU ARE SO PRECIOUS AND SO BRAVE. AND I JUST L O V E YOU!!!

TODAY I WAS SO SAD BECAUSE LAST WEEK ONE FAMILY IN OUR CHURCH (METHODIST) HAD A BAD ACCIDENT. NICO LOMBARD AND HIS TWO (ONLY DAUGHTERS) WERE COMING FROM HIS WORK (FATHER'S DAY) AND A LADY CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT. NICO WAS KILLED INSTANTLY AND NICOLETTE AND GRISELDIE WERE VERY SERIOUSLY INJURED. NICOLETTE IS IMPROVING SLIGHTLY BUT SHE DOES NOT KNOW THAT HER DADDY HAS GONE TO HEAVEN... GRISELDIE IS BRAIN-DEAD.. AND WE ARE PRAYING FOR THE LORD TO TAKE HER TODAY TO END INA (THE MOTHER'S) SUFFERING TO SEE HER LITTLE GIRL LIKE THAT. NICOLETTE STILL DOES NOT KNOW ABOUT HER DADDY AND HER YOUNGER SISTER. THE SPECIALIST THINKS IT IS NOT ADVISABLE AS SHE ALSO HAS SOME FORM OF BRAIN DAMAGE (PROBABLY NOT EXTREMELY SERIOUS).

OUR PASTOR SPENT HOURS AND HOURS WITH THEM AND HE WAS SO EXHAUSTED WHEN HE BROUGHT US HIS SERMON THIS MORNING. HE IS SUCH A DARLING AND WELL LOVED IN THE WHOLE COMMUNITY BY ALL... EVEN NON-MEMBERS OF OUR CHURCH.

THEN WE HAVE THE SADNESS OF THE "FOREIGNERS" WHO ARE BEING CHASTISED BY OUR AFRICAN PEOPLE. WE HAVE THEM PLACED IN A PLACE OF SAFETY BUT OUR CHURCH IS THE ONLY ORGANISATION IN THE WHOLE OF OUR COMMUNITY CARING FOR THESE PEOPLE. THEY HAVE NOTHING AND "NOWHERE"... THEY JUST DON'T BELONG (EXCEPT TO JESUS)!!! SO, SO, SAD! THEY ARE FROM ZIMBABWE AND DARE NOT RETURN TO THEIR HOMES AND WHEN ASKED WHY , ONE MAN REPLIED: WE HAVE NO HOMES. OUR HOMES HAVE BEEN BURNED DOWN... WE HAVE NOBODY AND WE HAVE NOTHING! I WEPT SO IN CHURCH. WE (OUR HOUSEHOLD - MY HUSBAND AND I) CONTRIBUTE TOWARDS THEIR KEEP BUT I SO WISH THERE WAS MORE THAT WE COULD DO! PLEASE JOIN US IN PRAYER FOR THESE POOR PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE DESTITUTE THAN DOGS... ROBERT MOGABE IS SUCH AN EVIL MAN. OUR OWN PRESIDENT IS HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HE WILL NOT SPEAK OUT ABOUT MOGABE'S ILL-TREATMENT OF THE OPPOSITION. MOGABE SAYS THAT "GOD" PLACED HIM IN POWER AND ONLY "GOD" CAN TAKE HIM OUT!!!! ATROCIOUS. WHO IS HIS GOD???

I FEEL SO INHIBITED BECAUSE I CANNOT DO MORE FOR THESE POOR PEOPLE AND I EVEN FEEL THAT PRAYER IS NOT ENOUGH! WORDS WITHOUT DEEDS ARE FUTILE. THE LITTLE MONEY THAT WE GIVE CANNOT FEED THE WHOLE "CAMP". OUR PASTOR HAS SAID THAT FROM THREE MEELS PER DAY WE HAVE HAD TO CUT IT TO TWO MEALS PER DAY!!! HUNGER IS SO CRUEL.

ANYWAY, MY DEAR, GENTLE-HEARTED FRIEND, CONTINUE WITH YOUR WONDERFUL WORK. GOD WILL GIVE YOU GRACE AND I AM SURE HE WILL GIVE YOU ANSWERS. TALKING ABOUT AN ADVOCATE : OUR GOD ALMIGHTY IS THE BEST ADVOCATE, JUDGE AND KING... MAY HIS GRACE BE WITH YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES.

YOUR SINCERE FRIEND
RAMONA P

I was out late tonight at my church where a bunch of us gathered to watch the revival, because our pastor is there today.
I read your story and just had to respond. You my friend are being revived and are expearencing renewal. You allowed the Lord to minister through you and it touched his heart deeply as it did mine. When you do it unto the least of these you do it unto me. Who knows? He could be an angel, the word says that many have intertained angels unawhere. But saying all that you are enjoying the blessing that comes from pouring out your life for others. The lord is looking for vessels to touch the world with.
Corrie Ten Boon prayed; Lord may I be the glove you put on and use. If you have never seen The Hiding Place, make sure you see it, it is a powerful book about a Christian family in Holland durring world war 2 who hid Jews and all ended up in a consentration camp. It is a wonderful movie very moving.
Well I thank God for giving you more hurting souls to touch with the love of Jesus. I also pray with you for Jay to recieve healing of his soul and of his body. God's mercy set you there to touch that man's life.
I think I told you God called me to be a truck driver. I have another friend who was called to be a mail man. We are both intercessors and God gave us both unbelievible oppertunities because of where we were place, just like you. May God give you many more oppertunities tto share our saviors love
Bob

What a wonderful image. Thanks for sharing it. I must say that the more I serve as a chaplain at the hospital the more my heart goes out to you who are in the nursing profession. God bless you and thank you for serving the needs of many.

Lord Bless,

Hi Mandy,

I was on Bob's wall and read what you wrote. My dear friend it moved me to tears. I even told my mom the story again today and started crying. What you did yesterday (forgive me if it wasnt yesterday) is what I believe is exactly what the Good lord would have done. Your heart is being transformed into a true Christians heart. I am beginning to really understand that God is just wanting to bring us into a simpler place where we need to just reach out to those in need and be a friend. To do what you did and care when there is no one else to care and be servants in whatever we do. People need love-God is love, people need God and the only way we can show them how awesome he is, is by allowing him to work through us. This is why we must become selfless, abandon our wills and needs so that his glory will be revealed. Oh Praise God Mandy, your testimony is truly inspiring, keep going, persevere there is hope love and peace at the end of all trials. Love conquers all.

I humbly ask right now for our heavenly Father to continue to bless and use you to minister to all those you encounter each day. May he give your strength and peace along the way and may you turn to him for shelter whenever storms may come your way. In Jesus Name. amen.

Now to respond to your post,

I am so happy it is summer!! I am gardening alot and spending alot of time outside :-) I wish it was like this year round, but then I know I would miss the seasons. I truly love his creation (nature) and it makes me feel at peace. Well I must go for now, my daughter just came downstairs and I need to tend to her needs. She came home sick today with an awful stomach flu :-(

Have a good night!!

Yous Sister in Christ,

Sarah

Hi Mandy,

The Lord has surely gotten ahold of you! Praise God! It is such a blessing to me, to see this transformation that Jesus is doing in your life. Be encouraged dear sister!

God's Strength is made perfect in our weakness. Please continue to keep me up to date on all that God is doing in your life. His Majesty is Awesome! Let us Praise and Worship the Great King of all the earth.

Love and Blessings, Carla

Dear Sister Mandy
THANK YOU FOR BEING MY FRIEND... That's all I can say..."

With love in Christ: Christy Gabriel B

Hi Mandy! Hope you are doing well and you are being encouraged by your brothers and sisters here today. I so appreciate your heart for the Lord and the way you are reaching out to others despite your own circumstances at home and at work. God bless you real good today, my sister.

I should have said I serve as a volunteer chaplain several times a month. I have not dealt directly with pediatrics and can only give some input, but these are things you already know i am sure. Love them. Do not try to ignore the problem, nor focus only on their situation. it is a real problem and a difficult time. Allow God's Spirit to work through you. Read Luke 12:12 and ask Him to give you the words to say to them trusting that He will. Sometimes just being there speaks volumes.

One thing you want to reinfoce if they question why God would do this, we must assure them that He is not the cause. This is a result of the curse that all of mankind is under. God loves their child. That must be emphasized. Be honest and tell them that you don;t fully understand why, but you know His love and know that His love is for her.

I will be praying. I know that was not a lot of help and wish I had more to say. If specific questions arise in the midst of their struggle do not hesitate to ask.

Lord Bless,

Hey Mandy,

How are you today? I trust all is well. Whatever happened to the homeless gentleman you mentioned the other day?

The number one lie that Satin feeds people is a little compromise won't hurt us. Sin always cost us more than we think, takes us farther than we want to go, and keeps us longer than we imagined. You can see this so clearly with drug pushers. They will give the drug to thier clients free the first few times until they are trapped in adiction, then the addict has no coice but to pay what ever the pusher demands. When I hear stories like the one you shared, it is heart breaking knowing what is a head of her. I have a friend whose 18 year old is having to descide if he is going to glorify God with his music or compromise his convictions and write songs that are ungodly to acheive fame. Pray for him and also for my oldest son 23 who is multitalented in music, but is not following the Lord.
Bless you and your family
Happy 4th July1

Isn't it cool that we are on track by encouraging one another here on the net. I can see how it keeps us from developping hardness of heart because we have to continually be abiding in Christ to help others. God bless and I hope you are slowing down a bit at your work. In the love of Christ.
Bob

Just calling back to see how your talk went.

It was wonderful to hear how God blessed you!!! I think this is only the beginning Mandy.
I hope your husband recovers quickly and that you are able to get the rest you need.
x Reta

I know God can heal so I will pray that his 10% chance of recovery will become God's 90% ability to heal bodies He made in the first place. God is able to do more than we could imagine. Do not hesitate to lay your hands on him and pray for his healing.
The scripture says to lay hands on the sick and they will recover.
Mandy get him to watch these 2 videos I am leaving you here.
You will see why once you see them.
In the love of Jesus.
Bob

God bless you my freind. I pray that as you take a few minutes to seek the Lord that He will renew your strength during this busy time in your life. He is always with you in all that you do as a wife, a mother, a nurse, and a minister of the grace of God.
I know this song represents your heart.
In the love of Jesus.

Eight years ago we set up an orphanage in Vellatur, which is seven hours from Hyderabad by train. At the orphanage we help children abandoned by their parents. An ultimate goal for Good Samaritan Orphanage is to gather 100 helpless and unwanted children. The orphans come from slums, leper colonies, poor families and tribal villages. They come from the streets, rejected by their families and society and left to beg for the very necessities of their lives. In India about 40% of the population suffers because of starvation. They come to us for shelter, clothing, food, education, and the Gospel message. Our main goal is to help and educate poor and needy children. We are helping 58 children now, but this is just a small percentage of those who need help. We do not have any special financial support to run Good Samaritan Orphanage. Everything is funded by the generosity of people like you. We have managed to find sponsors for 26 children, but 32 of them still do not have any regular financial support. We welcome you to become a part of this ministry by supporting one of our orphans. We are living in a

rural area in very simple conditions, however our children are very skilled and together we create a big and happy family. We would like to ask you to help us by sponsoring a child. We call it adoption of heart.

How to sponsor a child?
To become a sponsor, just send an email to Our USA Director George Dougherty at dougherty.george@gmail.com informing us about your desire to be a part of this program. In the email, please include the name of the child you would like to sponsor. We welcome you to stay in touch with your child. We will send you pictures, translate letters from your child, and send regular reports of the child’s progress in school. Most of the children speak at least a little English so you can be in direct contact with him/her

hi it's nice family

Mandy it is so good to hear from you. I have a song that I know will touch your heart. I pray God will continue to give you grace during this difficult time. I am glad that your husband is doing better.
In the love of Jesus.

Deare sister, it is so hard to find a moment to replenish ourselves when we are in the trenches of life. We can do all things through Christ who gives us strength. I am glad that you
are taking time, even if breafly to spend time with the Lord. It is something we all face in this journey those times like your going through right now. Do not allow the enemy to heap condemnation on you because your not super women. God will bring you through this and your husband will recover, and these financial presures will let up. I will leave with a couple of videos you might use to replenish yourself. Know that I will keep you in my prayers as well as your family.
In the love of Jesus.

Mandy,

Hebrews 3:6 but Christ was faithful as a Son over His house whose house we are, if we hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end.

Hebrews 4:14 Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession.

Hebrews 4:16 Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 6:11 And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end.

Father God we come before you and thank you for the wonderful salvation that is ours through Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit help us to hold fast our confidence and the boast of our hope firm until the end. Help us to us hold fast our confession and draw near with confidence to the throne of grace to find mercy and help in our time of need and may we realize the full assurance of hope we have until the end.
In the name of Jesus we pray.

In the love of Jesus
Bob

Dear Beloved in Christ,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We would like to offer salutation to all who are concerned about the kingdom of the Lord and the welfare of humanity. Many thanks for your prayers. We hope that you are safe under the shadow of His wings.

We saw your website on the Internet and we would like to invite you to India to preach the good news and bring the people from darkness to the light of Jesus Christ our Saviour. While we have made great strides in increasing the size of our congregation we need your help. Your presence here in India along with your team members to visit India would be a great help and much appreciated.

Here in Vellatur we run a successful orphanage with 60 children who would otherwise be on the streets. Many of their parents have died from AIDS or other illness. We also run an old people’s home for destitute elderly people which houses 20 of the poorest elderly people of the district. Our ministry also extends to medical camps and relief for the victims of the Tsunami.

Kindly remember our ministry in your continued prayers. May the Lord speak to you and help us to reach the unreached in rural India. Let's join hands in continuous victory for our Lord.

We will pray for you and your work for the Lord. May the loving Lord bless you abundantly in the days to come.

Winning them together,
Pastor..Ratnam

Hello Tammy,
How are you? It has been a while since I left a message on your page. Im sorry. This year I have vowed to make more time for my loved ones,friends and most definately the Lord. So far, I have fulfilled that resolution, but we have 11 months left! So, was it you that has been calling me? I have become friends with another Tammy here, and she has my number too so I odnt know who is calling me. I would love to hear from you. I have been busy,too busy to get back to people there for a while, so Im sorry that I didnt call you back. Anyway, let me know what is going on with you and what you did for Xmas. Mine was not that great of a Christmas. Mother issues like always. So I was disapointed this year. There are many other years to come so Ill just work on moving on. Anyway, I have alot ot say but I wont go into all of it right now till I hear back from you. Hope all is well. I love you and miss you dearly.

PLEASE KEEP ON SERVING THE LORD IN THIS SITE BECAUSE YOU ARE NEEDED HERE. GBY

I am being made aware that Jesus is coming sooner than many think. Many will not be ready for His return. We need to be ready, wise virgins, keeping oil in our lamps.

Please do keep on praying for the request of mine down below, and I know I can count on you to do it:

Please "WIN the 10/40 WINDOWS" for JESUS CHRIST.
The 10/40 Windows (located between 10 - 40 degrees North of Equator - between West Africa to East Asia) need Missionaries, have no church at all, and there live about 40 percent of the world population. INDONESIA, my country is in the 10-40 windows though we have churches. Let's get on our knees, praying hand in hand with me for their revival. I look forward to the day when the Lord who I kneel to worship will be recognized by all the living and the dead as the One True Lord.
Thank you so very much

With love in Christ: Christy Gabriel B

In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:2
