Each person and family has a story. Severe loss and trauma escape none of their personal histories or lives. You and I are on a journey with these precious ones.
Sometimes it all seems like a drop in the bucket … $6K spent on food here … $2.2K spent on heating fuel there … … $150 given for a severe case of asthma in another place … $150 given for X-rays for a fallen damaged elbow of an 8-year-old girl … $200 given for location permanence costs … it can never end.
Yet none of this life we live is really about funds.
Relationships, yes.
Some relationships are ever so brief, only a half-hour interview, at times leaving one with a type of vacuum of heart … what just happened back there? Another has been built over several years now, ever-deepening in each of our times together. Most are somewhere in-between.
We are working with such great teams over here. They know how to love … a lot longer and deeper and better than we do in these contexts. We are so grateful they are here, living close, able to relate and give much more in a relationship, as we are here for such a brief time as this.
A lot more is happening outside these camps, in other relationships and venues we savor.
More to come in our next update … cannot thank you enough for your being here with us and them in prayer and financial backing !!!
