Kid Orphan Sponsor Featured on TV News

KELOLife Television in Aberdeen, South Dakota ran a feature about one of our Osanidde sponsors, an energetic 10-year-old, named Ethan, who’s been selling lemonade (for three years!!!) to support his orphan friend, Allan, in Uganda. Ethan really takes his sponsorship commitment seriously!

It’s a sweet news clip . . . and a blessing!

You can view the TV station’s video file right here. And if any of you could take a moment to log in to view the article on the TV station’s website, it would be wonderful to add some positive comments about the feature. Please keep Harvest Ministry and all of our orphan children (currently over 700 kids!) in your thoughts and prayers.

P.S. Ethan was inwardly “moved with compassion” with a specific burden on his heart; he felt that if he didn’t raise that last $4, his orphan friend would “die.” We’re all so inspired by Ethan’s commitment; but be assured that if any of our sponsors are unable to meet their commitment (of $1/day), we’ll simply trust God together for His provision!!! Amen???

Audio #1 – VISION

To fulfill God’s purpose for our family, we need God’s perspective and His vision. God’s heavenly perspective is so much bigger than ours. God sees from the vantage point of the entire universe and all of eternity!

Audio #1 – VISION

Listen to the first audio in Ann’s 3-part-series, “Living Joyfully as a Mission-Minded Family.”

Audio #2 – COMPASSION

God’s compassion is nothing to fear; it’s compelling and exciting. If God “moves” your heart with compassion in regards to a specific need, rest assured that He will provide all that is needed (in finances, wisdom, and connections) to do all that He’s called you to do!

God has a specific “mission” – a plan and a “bulls-eye” destiny for your family. He has a purpose for each member individually and for your family as a unit. You’re called to be a part of God’s bigger eternal picture. Your family is called to expand God’s kingdom!

The Challenge: DAY 40 – God’s MISSION! #5

His MISSION

Welcome to the final day of your 40-Day Mission-Minded FAMILY CHALLENGE!

Thank you so much for being a part of this motivational adventure. For this final day, we’re concluding our 40-Day Challenge by focusing on the big picture of God’s Great Commandments and God’s Great Commission. As mission-minded families, let’s aim toward God’s purposes, and be eternally minded.

Note: According to Joshuaproject.net, the statistic need of today’s unreached people is even greater than quoted in this video. This source says that there are currently about 2.71 billion unreached people. This number is SO large – it is equivalent to the total population of ALL of North America (the entire U.S., Canada, and Mexico), ALL of Central America (minus the Caribbean), and ALL of South America . . . TIMES THREE!!!
