Over the past 3-4 weeks, we have started the International Justice Mission Bible study for teens during our Connections time. The study led us through an exploration of those God is especially concerned with. Over and over we looked at scriptures that put "the fatherless" at the top of the list.

What an overwhelming demonstration of God's love for the fatherless, as the various volunteers who have been loving and serving the kids provided funds or brought thoughtful gifts for the students!

The students kept asking, "Who is this from?" and it was a joy to tell them and see the surprise and delight in their eyes. I love being in between the people God loves and those He sends to love them!!
