What can one person do?

There are times when the 147 million orphans just overwhelm my heart and I think to myself "Just what can one woman do, Lord?"  Let me introduce you to April Fjeld.  She is a wife to Joe and a mother to three absolutely beautiful children and on top of all that she is a reading specialist in the local school system.  She has a huge heart for children and for the disadvantaged.

I first met April when the Orphan Care Ministry was collecting school supplies for Mountain Mission School in Grundy, Va.  April, as a teacher, had collected school supplies for her own class requirements.  She decided to share her storehouse of supplies with us and I immediately discovered her great heart.  The story does not end there. 

As soon as April heard that we were sending baby formula to Brighton Their World, she went into high gear and all on her own initiative, April collected all the formula shown in this picture. 


Then the other day I received an email from April...she has 13 more cans of formula which she will bring to me at church!   So what can one woman or one person do to love on orphans around the world?  Ask the Lord to show you what to do and then love like April Fjeld.
