HAVE YOU GOT WHAT IT TAKES?

That might sound like an aggressive statement ... but read on and you'll understand what I mean.

According to the US Department of Labor, every month, the average US household spends:

• $50 on personal care products
• $65 on tobacco and alcohol
• $157 on apparel
• $222 on food away from home
• $225 on entertainment

Now some of these figures might not reflect what YOU spend, but they are the national average here in America.
So, back to the original question, "Have you got what it takes?" What it takes ... is only $15 a month.
That's how much of an investment it takes to save the life of ONE orphan by providing ONE meal a day ... every day.
So have you got what it takes ... Do you have $15 a month? Your gift of $15 a month will provide ONE meal everyday to a needy orphan ... and save his/her life.

So, please, trim a little here, cut bak a little there ... just do whatever it takes to feed and save the life of ONE orphan.

Pray for Esmeralda

I'm asking you to pray right now for little Esmeralda, a 5-year-old orphan I met in Peru. Esmeralda was conceived as the result of a brutal rape. Her pregnant mother tried to abort her by drinking a bottle of aspirin. Born blind with only one-fourth of a brain, tiny Esmeralda was given no hope. The doctors gave up on her and her mother abandoned her. A feeding tube was inserted and the nurses waited for this innocent child to die.

Eventually she was sent to the orphanage where she was held, fed and loved. There she thrived.

Esmeralda learned to eat and loves to be held. For five years, she successfully fought for survival ... all because someone simply took the time to show her some love.

But now Esmeralda is in poor health. Over the past 6 month, her little body has deteriorated at an accelerated rate ... and again ... the doctors expect her to die.

Because of your donations, Esmeralda has experienced the loving touch of her caregivers, other orphans and the love of Christ.

Thank you for praying for this little girl and those who love her.
