Help now: Villagers in Africa desperate for water

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only…and you will be blessed in what you do." James 1:22,25

A few weeks ago we sent you this powerful video showing desperate villagers in Kenya digging through dry riverbeds to find life-giving water. The situation in these remote Kenyan villages is still critical as extreme drought lingers across the land.

Watch this story to learn how partners like you can help.

It is only through the generosity and compassion of Operation Blessing partners that we are able to bring relief where it is needed most—like drilling clean water wells in Kenya. By taking part in our special 7 Days to Live Your Faith campaign, you can be a part of the effort to ease the suffering of families around the world.

Whether it’s providing clean water, food, health care or emergency relief, your monthly gift of $25, $50, $100 or more will bring relief to impoverished families in desperate need. Or, give a special one-time gift today to bless the destitute poor.

May God bless you,

Bill Horan, President
Operation Blessing International

P.S. Will you help us spread the word about the desperate need for water in Kenya by forwarding this message to your friends and family?

10 Days of Constant Prayer : Day 6 22 May 2012

Day 6 : 22 May 2012

Take Heart, I have overcome!

Lord Jesus Christ, You are the Head of the Church.

You said that we should rejoice in all kinds of tribulation, especially when we are persecuted for righteousness’ sake.

We pray for our brothers and sisters in the faith who are persecuted because of their faith.

Fill their hearts with unspeakable joy even in the face of death.

Strengthen their faith, comfort them in their sorrows and encourage them to stay faithful and to continue to speak the word boldly.

Have mercy on them and let their faithfulness and endurance become a testimony to those who oppress, persecute and torture them.

Help us to resist the spirit of fear that causes us to compromise our faith and our testimony.

Open our eyes to see the suffering of our brothers and sisters around the world.

Arouse our compassion and love for them, fill our hearts with faith to wrestle in prayer for the souls of those who are the perpetrators.

Prepare our hearts for the time when we are called to endure suffering for your Name’s sake.

Help us to endure to the end.

Use this testimony of suffering, persecution, endurance and faithfulness to establish and advance the kingdom of God in this world.

Amen!

Then one day, at the bottom of my pit, I raised my weary head and dirty, tear-streaked face to the sky. And redemption drew nigh. God knew the plan He had for me.

You can get out. And I do mean you. But here's the catch: You can't get yourself out.

We need a Deliverer who is in for the long haul. Philippians 1:6 tells us that God, who began a good work, is faithful to complete it.

--Beth Moore, excerpt from her devotional gift book: Looking Up When Life Is Looking Down.

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

10 Days of Constant Prayer : Day5 21 May 2012

Day 5 : 21 May 2012

Repent and Believe!

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, it was your kindness that led us to repentance.

We pray that your kindness will touch the hearts of unbelievers through our lives.

We confess that instead of loving and accepting sinners, we have judged and scorned them.

We turn from our wicked ways to reach out to them with a heart of compassion.

Lay the words of truth in our mouths so that when we testify and minister to them, they will hear and see the truth of the gospel in our words and actions.

Empower us to reach out even to those who hate us and resist the gospel.

Fill us with boldness and love that compels us to deny ourselves and to love others even if it means that we should lose our lives.

Let the Church once again become a testimony of faith, love and hope.

Your gospel is a gospel of repentance and forgiveness.

We want to partake of that forgiveness so that we can offer it to a world that is lost in sin, hatred and selfishness.

Fill our hearts with the joy of those who are forgiven.

Pour your love into our hearts.

Here I am, send me!

Amen!

Will you help orphans like little Tamarah?

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only…and you will be blessed in what you do." James 1:22,25

Dear Linda,

When little Tamarah was born with a disability that would prevent her from walking normally, she was abandoned by her mother. Now four years old, Tamarah has a loving caregiver, but she still needed our help.

By becoming “doers of the word” partners like you changed Tamarah’s life. Watch her story.

Thanks to compassionate partners like you, Tamarah is now able to walk like her friends, and she won’t have to face the shame and teasing her disability would have caused. As a monthly partner with Operation Blessing, you can give hope to orphans like Tamarah all around the world by providing medical care, nutritious food, educational opportunities and so much more.

Today, will you choose to live your faith with a monthly gift of $25, $50, $100 or more to bless the poor? Or, would you consider a one-time gift during this special 7 day campaign to bring life-changing relief to families?

Your support is so critical to accomplishing the work God has set before us—thank you for living your faith!

May God bless you,

Bill Horan, President
Operation Blessing International

10 Days of Constant Prayer : Day 4 20 May 2012

Day 4 : 20 May 2012

Know the Truth!

Lord Jesus Christ, we believe that You are the Way, the Truth and the Life!

We confess that our generation has lost its way because the Church has in many ways compromised the truth of your word because of fear, ignorance and deception.

Forgive us! Lead us into all truth by your Spirit of truth. Restore to your Church the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Write the truth on our minds and our hearts.

We pray for the truth to be preached with boldness and without compromise.

Remove the lie from our hearts, our minds and our lips.

Strengthen us in the knowledge of who You are.

Give us divine weapons to tear down strongholds and ideologies that are rooted in falsehood and which the enemy uses to blind the minds of unbelievers.

Help us to speak the truth in love and grace for the hearts of unbelievers to be pierced by the light and truth of the gospel once more.

We want to open their eyes so that they can turn from the worthless things of this world to the living God. Your Word is truth.

Your Word is the lamp for our feet and the light for our path. We will walk in the light of your truth.

Amen!

7 Days to Live Your Faith: Are you ready?

"But be doers of the word, and not hearers only…and you will be blessed in what you do." James 1:22,25

In James, Scripture tells us to “be doers of the word, and not hearers only.” We’re so grateful that Operation Blessing partners like you are stepping out and living their faith, becoming doers of the word and making a difference in the lives of the impoverished.

Over the next seven days I’ll be sharing powerful stories of lives being changed, like today’s story about 4-year-old Kitty. Kitty spent her days sifting through garbage at the city dump, looking for food to eat, as well as items that could be sold to help her and her grandmother earn enough money to survive another day.

Watch Kitty’s story to see how your generosity and compassion helped rescue her from the dump.

Thanks to partners like you, Kitty doesn’t have to sort through garbage anymore searching for food—but there are still more children who need our help. Will you live your faith and help change the lives of precious children like Kitty with a monthly gift of $25, $50, $100 or more? Or, give a special one-time gift to bring critical relief to those in need.

Thank you for choosing to be doers of the word!

May God bless you,

Bill Horan, President
Operation Blessing International

P.S. We are so thankful for your heart for the impoverished. Will you take a moment to share this special 7 Days to Live Your Faith campaign with your friends by forwarding this message?
