A Jon Post
There is much brokenness here. There are broken families, broken spirits, broken bodies and broken hearts. We swim in it.
One shares about a faithless husband who brought a deadly virus into the bed with him which only adds to the mountain that she must climb to find health…
here is brokenness…
Rosa
One shares about the family that sent her away because they were afraid of her cancer and her tumor, thinking it was infectious and that the plague of cancer must be driven from their house…
here is brokenness…
One shares of a child not 5 months gone… lost to malaria, tuberculosis, or some other preventable sickness… and now cancer is ravaging the child’s mother…
here is brokenness…
One shares of a 6 year old son who misses his father beyond words… and while the father sits in my back yard his little son cries out to his mother to please let me talk to daddy on the phone first!!!
here is brokenness…
But there is still life.
There is life when Anita comes out of her room singing praises to God in the morning.
There is life when Pedro plays checkers with me and doesn’t want to stop.
There is life when Inês laughs.
There is life when Rosa finds her appetite again.
Though these small things seem inconsequential and minor in comparison to the agony that threatens… these humble signs of life are the driftwood that we find in this tempest of cancer.
Pedro
So this is our broken little family; Jon, Layne, Anaya, Jovie, Karasi, Anita, Inês, Pedro, Rosa and Gasher.
Pedro and Rosa just joined it last week.
We need help.
Our family is running out of money. Pedro and Rosa both need some special care (they both have open wounds that we clean and dress every day) and that only adds to the speed that our bank accounts are drying up.
We need help.
I know there are a lot of people who read this blog and pray for us. The biggest focus of this blog is to keep those who already DO give to us informed and to try to help them feel a part of what is happening here with Casa Ahavá. But beyond that, I know that there are many people who read this who haven’t given.
Please. We need help.
Family Dinner Time
Would you share this on your social networks, tell your friends, tell your church, try to find someone who can do what we cannot: Fund this thing.
We need about $1000 more per month to keep this family going.
We will continue to try to be the hands God uses to heal the brokenhearted and bind up their wounds.
Would you help those hands keep working?
To those of you who are already helping; thanks. We really, really, really do know how much of a sacrifice it is. We do. It’s not small. It’s not forgotten.
Thank you.
Life
thank you Jon, I will continue praying for you both and your ministry. The Lord will provide to keep His people working to heal His hurting children
God bless you and protect you
Thank you Jon for sharing the need and I believe God will work through your plea. Thank you for loving your patient’s like family, I believe God has blessed them to be a part of your family for a time :) God pour out on Casa Ahava all they need to serve your broken children, Amen.
Before I read this post the Lord had already prompted me to send you an extra $50 this month. He already knew your need and was beginning to provide for you and I am praying that the others He is speaking to will be faithful to hear and respond. We serve a wonderful powerful God and our Father will care for you and those you are caring for with His provision. We love you all and praise Yahweh for His faithfulness.
i will help in asking :)
this is rough to have to say.
