A Hero and Champion for Orphans

Bright and early tomorrow morning, 

a Hero and Champion for Orphans - Stacy Richards, 

(Stacy and her hubby Paul)

along with 6 other amazing women 

(Ann, Tracy, Karen, Tanya, Paula and Kimberly)
will be running in the LA Marathon (26.2 miles) for Team Love Without Boundaries 

to help raise funds that will provide medical care 

for precious treasures in China.

Please keep all these ladies in your prayers.

Stacy is running for a beautiful treasure named Heather 

who is Hep B+ and in need of surgery for her cleft lip and palate.

James 1:27 - Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this:
to visit orphans and widows in their distress, 
and to keep oneself unstained by the world. (NASB) 


Psalm 68:5 - A father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, 
is God in his holy dwelling. (NIV)


God's heart is for the orphans and widows of this world.
He commands us to take care of them and provide for them.
Pray and search your heart to see where God is leading you.
There are many opportunities in this world to help those in need
and so often we are too busy and turn the other cheek. 
You don't have to go far to find someone in need - 
there are folks in need in your own community, 
the state or country in which you live,
and many in foreign lands suffering from a lack of food, 
shelter, clothes, medical care and love - 
that simply need someone
to reach out and lend a helping hand.


Step out in faith and see how God can bless others through you!
You will be amazed at the blessing that you receive, 
simply by being obedient and faithful to His word!
