February 2021

“I shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has granted us, And the great goodness toward the house of Israel, Which He has granted them according to His compassion And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses” Isaiah 63:7

The Warmth of God’s Love

Did you notice in the verse above all the words that mention and describe the Lord’s dealings with His beloved people? I hope you remind yourself of His goodness and loving dealings with you. Sometimes we need to talk to ourselves and recall His past faithfulness so that we can see His present mercies!

These 5 little one’s have been placed in the care of Auntie Barbara in the Philadelphia 2 Residentional Home in Hatfield. Barbara has been our house mother in this home for around 12 years. She has never married and usually awakes at 4 or 5 in the morning to begin washing, cooking, cleaning and getting 7 older children ready for school. Recently some dear friends provided lovely warm blankets like these for 4 HOH homes that have young children. We are so grateful.

Out in the Cold

This little fellow recently celebrated his 3rd birthday at our Otter HOH home. His Mother left him with someone who would leave him unattended for hours. Someone reported the case to the authorities. When he came to us he had severe malnutrition. He was admitted at Parirenyatwa Hospital for close to a month. But as you can see Savior is now a healthy growing little boy.

Mentioning God’s Faithfulness

None of us know what 2021 holds whether it be in the US, Zimbabwe or anywhere in
the world. What we want to make mention of is that, “The Lord’s lovingkindnesses
indeed never cease and His compassions never fail. They are new every morning
great is His faithfulness.” We praise our Lord for His faithfulness these past 20 years
and thus we have hope for 2021 and until our Savior returns. Thank you for your faithfulness.

Because of Jesus,
Glen and Patty
