The
Lord bless you, Heartdwellers, for your kindness to our mission.
I
wanted to share the Scripture with you... And above all things have
fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the
multitude of sins. I Peter 4:8
It
has totally warmed my heart that all of you have been so generous
with us, so we've been able to buy jackets for the children on Taos
Pueblo. Their tradition doesn't allow them to wear used clothing, so
we really helped them by supplying new jackets. Scarves, gloves and
boots will come along, too, as we are able.
We
also were able to help with food cards and utilities for families who
were in danger of losing their water and electricity.
Thank
you so much, Heartdwellers, thank you so very much.
As
this holiday season approaches we are also working on helping others
as much as possible. As the holiday season approaches, we're also
planning on complete turkey dinners for the elderly and shut-ins that
don't have anything. We've got plenty of things scheduled for the
weeks ahead.
I
really wanted you all to get a sense for our outreach here in Taos,
so we are making an Outreach page on the Heartdwellers web site. We
have just started collecting photographs and testimonials today, but
it should be up within two days. And I'll remind you when it's fully
up.
On
this page of our website, we will have photographs and testimonials
and details of who we've been helping here in Taos, as well as even a
few receipts for food cards and a testimonial from Kit Carson
Electric, who call us regularly when someone is about to have their
electric cut off.
Among
those who are struggling are grandmothers who are alone in raising
their grandchildren, some of them with five or six children, and some
of them are teen agers. And you know, teenagers eat a LOT OF food!
There
are all kinds of programs that help with lunches and things on the
Pueblo itself, but special needs come up where there is just no way
the Pueblo can provide for everything.
We
had one young couple with four children that needed help with an
electrician, to get electricity run to their cabin that they're
building. And they needed other building materials for their cabin.
And she works very much in charity - she's constantly doing things
for other people, and she has a little store, which is a free store,
which people go in. The Giving Tree, and get whatever they need for
free. And we cover the rent of her give-away store every month.
You'll be able to see photographs of that on the Outreach page. So,
she was really worthy of our help, and her husband is building their
house. They both collect food and clothing for the poor. So, we
helped her with the electricity and with the cost of having water
piped in to their house. They live on the Pueblo, also.
But
you can't imagine the poverty here, it really breaks your heart to
hear about some of the situations, especially when a parent dies.
But
because of the Lord's loving favor, we've been able to make a
difference.
I've
been busy getting photos together for the Outreach page, so please be
patient with me about brining forth a message.
Last
night the Lord asked me to write. And I said, Lord, what do You want
me to write?
Oh,
my goodness - that could take a LONG while! But I began before I got
sleepy, 'cause yesterday was a hectic day.
~Lord,
you have taught us how to handle our foes, and delivered us from
their hands.
~You
have provided amply for our poor.
~You
have brought peace to our borders and health to our bodies.
~You've
given us new hope, and a fresh anointing and told us how vital our
sufferings are to Your plan. And how grateful You are for them.
~You
strengthen us with Your grace every day, and You teach us. And You're
constantly protecting us.
~You
are working behind the scenes to make sure the right man is voted
into office...
Jesus,
I could go on forever about Your goodness. And You've given us new
songs, to boot.
Yes,
Ezekiel and I are both working on music and I have to tell you, there
are some very good songs ministering God's Love and Our Love for Him
coming soon. But for now, I am going into prayer to see what the Lord
would like to say to you. And get a message together for tomorrow.
So,
please forgive this short message.
We
love you all and appreciate you so very, very much.
