ali's american adventures

please, keep bringing these needs to your blog. you've been given the opportunity to see these needs first hand, perhaps so you can give representation to those missions and ministries that have none. few may respond, fewer still to your every plea but God will direct the readers to those causes that He has in store for their lives to be forever impacted and changed. who knows but that you are traveling through the world for such needs, at such a time as this?

I understand completely. Don't stop asking - you will always reach the person the Lord has for His answer. I'm so glad to read this today as it seems you are beginning to feel better. God bless you, Ali.

Totally understand. Once you have a chance to figure out how this will work and of course be sure the money goes directly to the children please let me know. I would love to help. siby12@sbcglobal.net

This is way it is so amazing to follow your blog to see what God has in store. Truly beautiful.

I'd be happy to sponsor a kid or two. Numbers dependent on whether it's a lump sum now or an annual amount or a monthly amount, and of course on the potential difficulties of getting money from Australia to India...

Ali, I think it's awesome what you and the HoJ are traveling the world with eyes wide open. I pray that God leads and directs you as the two of you prepare for what comes next. I also pray that the needs do not become overwhelming for you.

I arrived in Haiti for a 10 month stint about a week ago. I am quickly learning that education is a luxury many people cannot afford. It breaks my heart that so many children are not able to go to school. If you figure out a way to set up a sponsorship at the preschool, I would be interested in helping out. britneyLsmith (at) gmail (dot) com

Count me in too! I mean if I am doing the math correctly then basically $50 a year provides a scholarship for one child for the whole year. I spent that much at Barnes and Noble on books last week.

Ali, you bring me right into your world with your words. Thank you for doing that. I need a bigger panorama of The Church. I need it.

I, too, am interested in helping when you figure out the details.

By His Grace,

Kim

YES! I understand! Such children in Zambia caught my attention (Gift, and Precious, and Prisca...and Aggie, the school secretary). I'm sponsoring a child already, but my heart wishes for more. Let me know how, and I'll see if I can!

Ah man! You had me in tears.

My heart is breaking as we sit here a year and a half into our attempt to adopt our fourth child - a five year old boy - from India. We aren't sure if it is going to go through the courts. Seeing pictures of those sweet faces - I can hardly stand it!

Thank you for sharing. I want to sponsor!!
