Yea! Breakthrough. Can't write much, but just wanted to share that we have seen great exciting progress here... Two churches have agreed to each adopt a slum community. This means they are committing to two years of involvement- spending time in the community, building relationships, trying to assess the greatest needs of the community, trying to meet those needs as well as teaching the people how to meet their needs themselves (empowerment/teaching skills/social networking etc). I love the vision of slum adoption, it is amazing what God can do through it. It has the potential to seriously meet physical, social, spiritual, mental and psychological needs. I am such a fan.
This will mean a much busier schedule, so keep me in your thoughts and prayers.
Also, in follow up with Jantik- new mother. I have it on my heart to fundraise money for their hospital bill and to possibly buy them a new mattress- which I found out would only cost about $100-150 USD. Keep this in your thoughts and prayers.
until my next rushed entry hopefully a week from now...
thanks faithful readers!
There is always more....
- The Incarnate Gospel
- Wonder why God doesn't do miracles like he used to? Well... he does. God is definitely NOT boring or inactive. He is longing to work and move through his people - us. Like these stories show, he is willing to do amazing things, if we'll let Him. I hope you will enjoy these stories of what God is doing, and that while you are reading your faith will grow for what miracles can be done through your surrendered life.
Me, Denver, Courtney and other friends

You are awesome, Claire Griffin! Keep carrying with excellence the torch that God has given you, bringing light to dark places and dispelling darkness as you go, just by being who you are in Him. Love you!
