children from the Lamb Center was adopted by a beautiful couple in Australia. The family loves their child, who is now in his teens. They asked if they could send large boxes of things for the orphanage to show their appreciation and love for the Lamb Center.<\/p><p>They started sending a box of things like sheets, baby wipes, toys, and stuffed animals for the children, usually mainly used teddy bears they picked up at yard sales or discount tables. The items they sent were clean and in great shape, and our children are always thrilled to see a box come into the home.<\/p><p>Of course, we sometimes are overwhelmed with stuffed toys because our children get attached to their one teddy bear and do not like the idea of changing, so needless to say, we have many extra teddy bears.<br \/>Last November, our church secretary asked me, &#8220;What shall we do with all these old teddy bears&#8221;? She has a tiny office, and her desk and files are all she has room for, so the big box of teddy bears took up a lot of space.<br \/><br \/>I responded to her that we would wait for Christmas Sunday and give them out to the children of the church members. Our church has many children, so that would be an excellent way to clear out her office. Our island has suffered from the covid pandemic for almost two years. Many people have lost their jobs and have taken tremendous financial losses. Our island has turned into a tourist attraction over the years, so the airport lockdowns caused many families to suffer.<\/p><p>Thinking things could not get worse, on December 17th, our island was hit with the hardest typhoon ever recorded in our area. The storm took down trees, destroyed houses, broke bridges, and caused much pain in the lives of our people. The following Sunday, people walked into the church. Roads were impassable by cars or motorbikes, trees were down, and power lines lay in the streets, but over 120 people walked to the church despite it all. After the church service, the church ladies brought out the big box of teddy bears. The children lined up and picked out the teddy bear of their choice. Smiles began showing on their faces. Some began to laugh and jump up and down with their new teddy bear friend. Joy came to the parent\u2019s faces to see their children happy again.<\/p><p>In the midst of all that had happened, the children knew there would not be any Christmas in their homes. Some children did not have a home to return to after the typhoon. There was no electricity, no internet, and no running water for weeks, but they all had a teddy bear to hold onto and hope for a brighter day. I thought about long before the storm hit our place, that lady began buying teddy bears earlier in the year. Who would have thought they would be used to putting a smile on a child so far away and many months later?<\/p><p>Sometimes we feel like old teddy bears just hanging around. Sometimes we think that we are in the way of others, not knowing where we fit in or if we could ever fit in the work of the Lord. Keep in mind that God has a place for old teddy bears. It might be something as simple as putting a smile on a child\u2019s face that has no hope, or could it be just giving a hearing ear to the elderly by letting them tell us their story. Could we use our resources to encourage someone to keep on going for Jesus or use our finances to further the Gospel to the lost? Yes, God has a place for old teddy bears. Think about it.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section

school students are back on the streets telling people about Jesus. Pandemic protocols have been somewhat lifted, and we are free to take the Gospel to the people again. This year we have some of the most outstanding students that have ever been in our work. We have some young (and old) adults who have given their lives and futures to be full-time for the Lord.<br \/><br \/>It is a blessing to work with these guys the Lord has put in our school. Pray for their future ministries as the Lord sends them throughout the Philippines to do His work. Thank you for your prayers, love, and support for these students and the bible school.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section

She is six years old, and her matching to a new family has been delayed by the paperwork process. Jenny began feeling left out when she heard of the other old children preparing to leave for their new families. She could not understand why she was being left behind. When Miss Debbie arrived back into the home, all the children ran up to her, excited to see her. She tried to spend time with each one calling their names and working with their English Tagalog speech. After seeing all the children, Jenny went up to Miss Debbie and took her hand. She looked up with her sad eyes and asked, &#8220;Will you be my mom, will you? \u00a0Miss Debbie looked down at Jenny and said, \u201cJenny, I will always be your mom as long as you like.\u201d<\/p><p>I don\u2019t think Jenny meant for us to adopt her, but she needed some assurance that somebody cared about her. That&#8217;s the whole story of the children in the orphanage.\u00a0 They need to be cared for, whether it&#8217;s food, medical, or just a hug from Miss Debbie. Those three little words, &#8220;I love you,&#8221; goes a long way when you need a friend. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of their lives.
