Are You Guarding Your Treasure
Hi,
Yesterday as I had my morning devotions, I finished up the book of first Timothy. Talk about saving the best for last, in the very last verse of the book, it says "guard the treasure that has been entrusted to you." That really struck me. I began to think of what had been entrusted to me. 150 orphans who call me Pappa Tom and sometimes crowd around me and squeeze me with all their might.
89 students at our school, none who would receive an education or daily food, without Grace Emmanuel School
200+ in the village of Merjay, receiving love, hope and the life changing message of the Gospel, for the first time
A church of several hundred, preaching the gospel, making disciples, teaching them to do the same
A $9200 monthly budget to make this ministry happen and feed over 500 people per month
A staff of over 30, (including school staff)
And most importantly, 19 young people and children who call me dad. Yes, I have been entrusted with much, an overwhelming amount of treasure. I am guarding these treasures with my life, as I am supposed to. Thanks to God, and to you for making this possible. How about you, do you know the treasures in your life, have you added them up, are you guarding them..............with YOUR life? Just asking. Take care, tominhaiti
Thank you for your support
