Psalm 72:3-5; 11-13. “He will bring justice to the poor of the people; He will save the children of the needy, And will break in pieces the oppressor.” For He will deliver the needy when he cries, The poor also, and him who has no helper. He will spare the poor and needy, And will save the souls of the needy."

Dear Family in Christ,

Greetings and blessings to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray that you and your family are doing well. Thanks be to God, we have had a few relatively cool days here south of I-10! I hope it has been a blessing to where you are. Whenever God chooses to bless us is an enjoyable time. Maybe it will be a bit cooler for your Labor Day holiday. Anita and I will be in Guatemala doing the work of the Lord Jesus that day. I know you will be praying for us.

Thing when I read my chapter in Proverbs, one verse that stuck out to me, as it always does, was Proverbs 28:27; “He who give to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses.” Every day when I have my first time with Jesus I simply ask, “What do you want to me to do today?” Verses like I just shared with you are usually in the list for me. How do I need to spend my time, my gifts, and my resources to do God’s will in my life.

God has promises us that whatever He want for the day, we “will not lack.” We will not lack time. Have you ever said, “There ae just not enough hours in a day?” That is NOT true! There are just enough hours. Or have you ever said, “I wish I had the talents of that person.” God has given us the exact talent and gifts that He want us to have. Perhaps we have said, “If I win the lottery, I will give most of it away.” We have ALREADY WON the lottery when we received Christ! Whatever He tells us to give, we will not lack ANYTHING!

Enjoying every minute of the day is a blessing Jesus has given us. Enjoying the talents and gifts He has given us is a blessing. Even enjoying giving the resources He has blessed us with will be a joy unspeakable! What a wonderful, loving, gracious Lord we have! May God bless us with enjoying all that He has in our life.

As you ready this letter I pray you will blessed with the photos and words that I have written (I usually write the second page first).” Thank you for your love for me and for the Lord. Thank you for your heart for Jesus and for sharing what He has blessed you with through DLEA Ministries. I truly love you from my heart. Please, pray often for me.

In His Service'

The smiles of the children show how happy they are as they sit down for a hot meal, no matter it might be. In our country how many times do we or our children look stand in front of our refrigerator or pantry with the door opened and say, “We don’t have anything to eat!” Many of these children go back to their home knowing they got the only hot meal of the day. DLEA Ministries makes it possible for them to grow up healthier than they would.

In this political season in our country, we hear a lot about “food insecurity.” These children thank God for what they are about to receive through the love of God’s people. They always thank God for YOU before every meal they have in front of them.

In James 1:26-27, it says, “If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless. Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.”. It is vitally important to fulfill this command from God as best we can. If we fail at any of those points (seem religious or bridle our tongues), lets not fail to take care of “orphans and widows in their trouble.” If do that, we will not have time to be religious, not bridle our tongues, or get messed from the world.

We receive photos from our staff week after week of the wonderful ways that the precious of Guatemala who touched by the precious supporters of this ministry. The children get a hot meal after their morning sessions. The younger children (grades preschool-6th grade) have classes from 7:00 to 12:00 and the older children (grades 7-9) go from 1:00-5:00 in the afternoon. Most of us cannot imagine what a difference it makes in the life of a child through a hot meal, listening to a Bible study or playing on our “futbol” field with their friends. They get to be normal children for the time they are with us. YOU make that possible! I cannot thank you enough.
