Many of these children have been in such a state of hunger that they have been drinking “saltwater soup” for their only meal. We have seen so many cases of malnourished...
“Facing the Hard Stuff” We all have to do it. Not everything will go easy every day, no matter how we pray, or give, or go or do. This is real life. We all love to do the nice things... visit the sick, take food to the hungry, comfort or pray for someone. But each and...
