A few weeks ago I wrote a blog about a sweet little girl named Onesta. I talked about how she would have the chance at a better life. I wrote about how she would live in a nice home with loving parents who would encourage her to attend school and trust in the Lord to provide all she needs. I believed the Lord would provide the financial support for this sweet girl and her brother, and the Lord did. He provided in a way where I least expected, which always encourages me because HE is in control. People I didn't even know personally gave with a generous heart for these sweet kids.
Now I'm writing with another child heavy on my heart. And again, I believe the Lord will provide for this child. Her name is Lillian Banda. She is 14 years old and was rescued off the streets at the beginning of this year. In my previous blog about Lillian, I talked about how she lived in a two roomed house and slept on the floor with a blanket. She is a double orphan and previously lived with her grandmother who could not support her and her younger siblings. Because of this, Lillian was separated from her siblings. She never attended school because she couldn't afford it. She would sometimes get food and sometimes wouldn't. When my mom spent time with her at camp, she found out that Lillian had been selling herself to men in order to have food. Because of the neglect Lilian was getting, a social worker came to visit with her on the last day. Less than 6 months later, Lillian was rescued from her situation and placed in one of Family Legacy's Community Resource Centers. She has been living there for almost a year now and is thriving in school! She has gained weight and looks healthier than ever! She has made friends and confided in the Discipleship Leaders who love her unconditionally.
As Family Legacy shifts children out of Community Resource Centers and into Residential Homes, sponsorship increases to provide the BEST care for them. In order for Lillian to continue in the Residential Home program, my family is in need of $150 PER MONTH. It is extremely expensive to rent a nice home, provide a nutritious diet, pay for upper grades school and school supplies, and supply Lillian with her daily needs.
The Lord calls us to give and give generously for His Kingdom. The supporter of Lillian will build treasures in Heaven because his or her gift each month is literally providing for her to LIVE the way God intended her to live.
If you would like to be a part of God's movement by giving for Lillian each month, email me at megan@familylegacy.com OR find me on facebook!!
