A few months ago, a group of Baptist missionaries who are connected with some of our Filipino missionaries heard that we were helping orphaned children and migrant workers’ kids at Love For The Poor center. They wanted to help out in some way as well. “Why not buy shoes for the kids?” one of our missionaries suggested, so they immediately went on a shopping spree!
This is really becoming a wonderful partnership between Within Reach Global and Love For The Poor, as ministries and individuals from around the world unite to bless “the least of these.”
“New shoes on us!”
True religion. It’s about orphans and widows and those in need. We believe it makes God smile.
They donated heaps of toys to the kids as well, and smiles could be seen around the whole room. It was very moving to watch.
Just recently we took a couple visiting partner pastors from America to Love For The Poor center. They shared a quick encouragement with the orphans, but more importantly, their presence blessed the children. Many college students from The Hub were there as well, volunteering their time to bless the children.
One of our visiting pastors noticed that the children’s beds were simply wooden boards with sheets on top. “If it’s not good enough for you and me,” we thought, “it’s not good enough for these precious little ones.”

So we immediately went down to the foam outlet and purchased top notch mattresses for these children. It was a quick and easy decision––a WWJD moment! And the children were incredibly touched. They wrote us all letters, one of which translated says this:
“Thank you for buying mattresses for our beds. I am so grateful. I believe that God will bless you greatly. Thank you for coming to see us too. I am very happy. I know that you love us with the love of God. I have no way to repay you. I am only able to think of you often.” ~Lily
Moving. It tugs on your heart strings. It also moves the heart of God.
This is what we want to encourage you with now:
Do you have an active part in fulfilling the Great Commission? (Statistics say that only one out of one hundred believers do.) It’s the Great Commission not the Great Suggestion: “Go into all the world.”
We want to encourage you to take part in sowing prayerfully and financially into the 10/40 Window––the final frontier, the last region on earth where they are still waiting for a single chance to hear the name of Jesus.
Feel led to give? Why not start sowing monthly into this ministry. You can donate on our Donate Page.
Thank you for your prayers and support! You can truly make a difference with us.
