HOW SHALL THEY PREACH, EXCEPT THEY BE SENT?Romans 10:15, "And how shall they preach, except they be sent? As it is written, How

beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of

good things!"It is interesting that God calls the feet beautiful. Godould have called the lips beautiful, or the mouth; but He

aid the feet are beautiful. Why the feet? Because it is

with ones feet that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is carried

o a needy world.

Throughout the Bible there is a mandate to GO, and

we have gone. Direct contact with the children has

roven to be one of the most powerful ways to

ommunicate our hearts and Gods love to them.nointed ministry like this is life changing and creates a

ohesiveness with the workers and children that is

mpossible to get without being there and touching them

ersonally. Ministering one-on-one has an impact like

othing else we do.

Over the years those who have gone with us have

een a blessing to the children and have been blessed

themselves. They come home changed by their

experiences and become real champions on behalf of

the children and the ministry of God Loves Kids. We

invite you to come with us if you are led by God to do

so.

To go forth into the most remote places in the wor

and preach the Gospel of Grace and Peace, we must

have the funds to pay for the airfare, lodging, food, ga

and many other expenses necessary to travel. Yourfinancial contribution would make it possible for us to

GO FORTH. If you want to send a donation for trave

please designate that it be used for the Travel Fund.

For The Children,

In 2012 God Loves Kids will

be making two trips, one to

India, Nepal and Nagaland

and the other to Rwanda and

Uganda.

You can help make a difference!

God Loves Kids ministers to children

who without our help would face a life that

is hard for most of us to imagine without

seeing it firsthand. Most of the children who

come to us have faced the hardships of

extreme neglect and abandonment,

immense poverty and hunger, and lack of

education and care. Every day we have

more children who need help.

As a mission trip participant, you will

provide hope to children who have already

lost so much, also help prevent at-risk

children from losing the little they have. You

will be a steward of Christ ministering in thewords of Matthew 25:40:

Truly, I say to you, as

you did it to one of the

least of my brethren, you

did it to me.

The sharing of yourself with these

children will bring grace upon their lives.As a mission trip participant, you will help

God Loves Kids provide hands that minister

and protect children from extreme,

unfathomable difficulties - allowing for a

bright future for children who have very little

hope without us! Together, we can share

the love and grace of Christ and make an

eternal difference in their lives.

We are also depending on you to m

a difference by helping us communicat

God Loves Kids story to your family,

friends, church and community. Both d

the trip and after you get home, God L

Kids needs champions who will help us

motivate people to help the children.

In order for our teams to travel and

minister affectively, the available space

these trips is extremely limited. We are

opening these trips up to a maximum o

eight people who will work with Lovie

Phillips and the God Loves Kids team.

The trip to India in May will begin b

going to one of the most remote and

beautifully breath taking places on eart

We will be ministering at Moravian Mis

School which is located in Leh, Ladakh

very secluded part of India, high in the

Himalayan Mountains. It is the most re

region in the country, where travel to th

school is only possible 5 months out o

year. We will then travel on to Nepal, th

poorest country in Asia, to the Nepal

Childrens Home, and then on to Naga

Mission School in Nagaland, India.

The trip to Africa will be in Septem

and will include a stop at all of our sch

in Rwanda and Uganda. If you are

interested in going with us on one of thtrips, please indicate it on your respon

form or call our office. We will be happ

send you all the details!

GOD LOVES KIDS

"Then the King will say to those on

s right, 'Enter, you who are blessed by

my Father! Take what's coming to you in

his kingdom. It's been ready for you

nce the world's foundation.

And here's why:

I was hungry and you fed me,

I was thirsty and you gave me a

rink,

I was homeless and you gave me a

oom,

I was shivering and you gave me

othes,

I was sick and you stopped to visit,I was in prison and you came to me.'

"Then those 'sheep' are going to say,

Master, what are you talking about?

When did we ever see you hungry and

eed you, thirsty and give you a drink?

nd when did we ever see you sick or in

rison and come to you?' Then the King

will say, 'I'm telling the solemn truth:

Whenever you did one of these things to

omeone overlooked or ignored, thatwas me-you did it to me.'

In our western

culture we are taught

to be as efficient as

possible and to be good

stewards of our time and

money. Following this thinking, we

might be led to believe that

spending money on travel would

not be a wise thing to do.

However, God is relational in all

that He does. He didnt just send a

check or wire funds. He sent His Son, in

the flesh, to dwell among His people.

Personal relationships and physical

presence bless our partners in ministry

and the children in ways that just

sending money cant. As often as

possible we need to do more than

provide meals for the children. We need

to sit down and break bread with them.

The latter is a picture of the Kingdom

and much more encouraging and

spiritually life-giving. Rather than simplyreceiving food, they receive the

encouragement and support of knowing

someone cares enough to show up.

Thats huge!

Our active presence also blesses

us and our ministry staff in the

States. I wish I could recount all the

incredible blessings weve received

simply by spending time with thechildren and our workers in India,

Nepal, Rwanda and Uganda. A few

years ago, I was in India four times

in one year and although I was

teaching in Bible colleges and

preaching in churches in the

evenings and on Sundays, during

the week I would visit the schools.

The simple act of just being with them

and ministering to them definitely

encouraged them. So many of the

children are orphans and theydesperately need to feel our love for

them in person. In return, we are

encouraged and energized. Our heart

always to sow the maximum amount o

resources into the childrens lives. We

come home and testify of Gods

goodness, power, and grace which in

turn strengthens the Body of Christ.

No ministry funds that aredesignated to be used for the children

projects ever go to pay for travel. We

raise money specifically for travel and

the team of volunteers raises their own

support. Could we save money by not

going? Not in the long run. For the hea

of the ministry, we should go more and

take more people with us. Everyone

knows that man shall not live by bread

alone. There is a huge need for someo

to go in His name, touch with His hand

speak His words and wrap His arms

around them and bless them in His

name. Our God is big enough to provi

the resources needed to carry out the

ministry to which we are called by

allowing our sponsors to help us to GO
