Emil saying thanks to you all!

Here's another video with the very playful Emmanuel.  :)

Happy Campers!

Sorry for this delayed update because I got under the weather a bit and I had to attend to my dental concerns as well. I agonized for a day but it got done quick so everything is fine now.
Anyhow, kudos to all the sponsors namely:
Brian and Becki McGuffin, Mr. Song, Jinkie Honggo, Gilton Solis, Kimie Oshima, Kazuo Ugai, Hisatake Yamashita, Hiroyuki Ikegami, Fuji Hajime, Mitsutaka Tsuboyama, Masao Tanaka and Hajime Fujii. 
Also to my prayer partners:
Yang Carcueva ,Fely Batilo, Mafe Racasa, Delia Villafranca, Niall and Joanne Corral, Kristie and Paul Benjamin and to all who silently followed the story and prayed.
Thank you all for the support and love shared to Emil and Emmanuel. So far the father and son have already settled in their new home. Emil got a job and Emmanuel is one happy camper. We have provided them not only a home but also a hope in this tested economy. God allowed all of us to be part of this big change in their lives.

                                                 

    All smiles for you, all!

 A very happy father and a very cute son!

 look who's active and giddy! 

                                                   

I haven't taken a picture of the bathroom yet as I was busy arranging all their stuff inside and talking to the owner of the property at the same time.. We were also trying to figure out where to put their cooking materials as we have to secure them away from Emmanuel because he's a whirlwind!
We have covered their provisions pretty much! Although the best treat is yet to come because we have arranged a good dinner and some stuff for the coming Christmas! We can all have a merry one! It's a relief to have the project done before we get to leave, but I ask for your continued prayers for them. We made it!

GOD IS ALWAYS GLORIFIED! THANK YOU, LORD!


P.S.
I will be uploading videos after I figure out how to flip them.  Later! :)

Updates (Emil and Emmanuel Brigade)

The mission is rolling! God is using generous people in letting this mission happen. Currently, the tiny hut is under construction and supplies are pouring in. I can't believe that it's going to be finished before we go to the States.

Although there were some hurdles along the way but God's plan always succeeds. He doesn't let anybody interfere. So far, the house is going to be finished on Wednesday thus it is also the moving day for the father and son. Next would be their health check up, prolly on Thursday. We are thinking that there might be a chance for Emil to at least glimpse a little bit of a sight. He can distinguish brightness and darkness so it is possible.

Moreover, he gets a job at the place where they will be living! He gets to take care of a farm and still be with his son 24/7. The bond of the two is priceless. He doesn't allow people to take pity on him when it comes to caring for his son. He knows what he's doing.

Alright, here are some pictures of the construction and the supplies ready to be used upon their moving in.

It's a delight to be part of this project.

God is awesome! :)

Note: These goodies in the picture are just recently bought. I have already bought some last Saturday. I don't have a vehicle to carry one big luggage and transport it back and forth. After all, I am just wittle (little). :) 

Until next time! :d 

Emmanuel means God's with us

The word Emmanuel always reminds me of Christmas and of course Jesus, a great friend and savior. This time I met another Emmanuel in the person of a sweet little boy. He is a year and 4 months old. They live on a waiting shed(sort of like a bus stop shed). The father is a hard working guy. Emil doesn't allow his physical limitations to hinder in providing for his son. My husband and I witnessed how he takes care of him. Their small bag is packed with foods for his son and a bottle of milk. He sees to it that he gets odd jobs to support  him properly. Emil is a bit skinny because every time he gets a chance to buy food he buys it for his son. These father and son need a shelter. They need to have at least a decent place to sleep and rest.

Me and my husband have invited them to our house last Wednesday.I gave the baby a bathe so that I could apply an antiseptic to his wounds. We also fed them and gave them warm blankets. Emmanuel is very playful. I had a great time playing with him. He loves bananas! Emil is always smiling, you can't trace any bitterness when he speaks. We found out that his wife left him and his son last year. Since then he made it to a point to always care for the little boy whatever he does and wherever he goes. He doesn't beg for money. He asks for odd jobs. He told us that his body is strong and able so why not get a job. We were touched by that statement. Unfortunately his efforts are not enough. There is a little boy involved. My heart breaks for the kid so I told myself that something needs to be done here. They need help.

A very nice old woman who has a small store who is also their friend has offered a tiny lot for them to build a hut. The lady told me that she's willing to donate it to them. She asked me to help her make that hut happen. Have it built for the father and son. We talked it over and she said we will be needing at least $250.

My mission now is to feed them, educate the child and attend to his health condition as well.We will be needing help in earning that $250 because my income and my husband's will not be enough considering we also have other bills and concerns to attend to. If ever you read this post and if you feel like God is talking to you, please don't hesitate to contact me. I will make sure that every donation will be spent accordingly. I will produce receipts and records or even pictures during the construction of their tiny house.


A little amount will make a big change to these lives.

God bless you, all.

The yellow brick road

 Apparently someone is very giddy already for her trip next month. As Dorothy followed the yellow brick road, I myself am going to follow my own itineraries for this trip. The mission is to stop and explore at every possibly exciting and fun filled place in Kansas! Fortunately I will be flying by plane and not in a house sucked by a tornado. Isn't that a relief?

I didn’t forget to purchase my own red shoes if that’s what you were looking for. Hubby and I got them last weekend although I didn't choose the sparkling ones as to not show much of the obvious. I just hope that I will not meet the witch and the wizard. Nah, I don’t need them. No thanks, I can manage. Ha ha!

I wonder what Dorothy and Toto are up to when I get there. In the mean time try not to let a house fall on you all, okay? Ha ha!



Toto! I mean, Tatuh!  :)
