St Luke's Blessing

(Pastor Noren presents Dave with the offering for Children's Cup at a coffee following the Sunday morning service)


St Luke's Church in Faribault, Minnesota, blessed Children's Cup this past Sunday. They are making it possible for one of our precious carepoint children (who suffering with several illnesses) to have a new, safe place to live. Her former caretaker, Sisana, recently passed away, leaving her without a home. Now, thanks to the caring, loving people at St Luke's church, a little one in a land far away will have the shelter, love and care she needs at this critical time of her life, as the church sponsors the construction of an added on room at the home of a loving teacher who will take this needy child into her home.

Thanks, St Lukes! You are awesome.

Pastor Mark and Gail Noren are old friends of Children's Cup (and of Dave and me). So we enjoyed being with them as well.

Jean-
We miss you both! You've been on my heart. I was sad when we found out you weren't in BR last week when we went to check out Elevate. Looks like Hannah will be down in August, the details are in His hands as to the hows,etc. Children's Cup is in our prayers, as well as you both. Wanted to let you know we haven't forgotten you!
If you are driving through, please give us a call.

Praise the Lord for the home for this little girl. I read about Sisana on the Rehymers blog. How did the mother die? Were there any other children in the family? My kids still pray faithfully 3 times a day for the children who are sick and don't have food, and don't have mommy's and daddy's.

We thank God for you guys and the ministry of Children's Cup.
