Our February Prayer Letter
February 1, 2009
Dear family and friends,
WOW... what an evening! Two nights ago Grace Children’s Home (GCH) hosted its first fund raiser event. The purpose of the event was to raise funds to further the construction of Grace Babies Home (the next phase of GCH) that will someday host up to 20 orphaned babies. It was an absolute joy to be surrounded by people who have prayed for, served at and supported us and GCH. Words cannot express how wonderful the evening was for us and to see God provide the funds to build a home for babies.
One of the highlights of the evening was when George and our good friend (& Yugo board member), Victor Mena, joined the guest musician to sing “Blessed be the Name of the Lord”. Not only did they sound great, but the joy of the Lord was evident in them and throughout the crowd.
Speaking of the baby home, two weeks ago the foundation was COMPLETED! The foundation had to be made to specs, as a San Diego-based company is donating pre-fabricated exterior walls that require precise measurements. In the photo you can see the perfect pad, ready for walls!
And speaking of miracles, after four years of waiting and asking, the government FINALLY began the work to bring us water! This has been a prayer request for a long time. With our current situation of having water trucked in, it costs us at least $23 daily. Earlier this week, we found the great surprise of a backhoe and workers, busy digging the trenches and laying the water pipes. You can see the pile of dirt from the trench in the foreground in the photo of the baby home foundation.
As you can tell, the blessings are incredible. We are so grateful to see God’s hand moving all around us. Thank you for praying with us and supporting us so that we can continue to be a part of what He is doing here. It’s amazing to see such generosity in the face of economic hardship; it’s evidence of God’s presence. We are eternally grateful for your partnership and love!
Rejoicing with you,
George and Stacey Palau
