:Adullam House has now been reaching at-risk children, by:the power of the Gospel, for over 20 years.: Hundreds of lives have been touched and changed! The thrill of:seeing these kids rescued from destruction and misery will never fade!:What could be more wonderful? Over the last couple of years God has;begun to challenge us greatly to enlarge our vision and our borders.: Two years ago we began to partner with an amazing:ministry to young people in eastern Europe-kids at risk for sex:trafficking. This ministry has wrapped our hearts around its;vision more and more with each visit, as we see lives being:transformed and rescued! They are just like children whoseparents are in prison, like those brought to Adullam House,iwho are statistically at high risk of sex trafficking. With no one;to care for them, they face the same neglect and danger.; We feel their pain and long to meet their needs!!~

God is certainly on the move!

And now in Kenya we have also seen first handthe pain of hundreds of children orphaned-not by ne-glect or abuse -but by HIVIAIDS. We saw their faceswhen we visited last November; faces like Queenters(front cover) who can hardly raise her eyes to meetyours; faces that pleaded with us through hungrystares; faces that haunt you after you go home.

We couldn't walk away.These kids don't struggle with phone use or sulk

about cutiews like their-western counterfJarts. Por-nography isn't on their radar. They are thinking abouthunger, not sports or grades. They have seen theirparents die from a horrible, rampant disease. Theirevery day struggle is for survival-food-water-clothing.

These kids are now on our radar.I believe God has put them there.

We are praying much as we move forward, asking theLord how He would have us involved. What God isdoing right now, we aren't absolutely sure. We onlyknow that the need is the call and these needs havebeen placed in our lap. He is enlarging our borders.

Precious in His Sight.

These 5 little siblings have found new life insus at Adullam House here in the USA. Eachone with personalities that light up a room, theyhave blessed our staff with their appreciation ofall that God is doing in and for them. It is 6months now since they arrived. __During that}~,=

time they have never waivered in their requests ....for prayers at bedtime or for hugs of affirma-tion. They are sweethearts. God help us to

help them and to be what they need.All they needed was a chance!

As you can see the needs are pressing andAdullam House is working hard to meet theneeds of the Children that God is bringing ourway. From the long standing work in the US,to the children overseas who so urgently needour help, when you give to Adullam House youare making a huge difference in the lives of so

many kids who need you!

A Celebration of Joy.It was a day that was a milestone for us all. ForColton and Trina it was their wedding shower-another step closer to their wedding day. For

others it was a flood of memories of the beautifullittle baby boy who carne to Adullam House attwo days old and who has now grown into a

young man who loves the Lord and has found thesweetest young lady to call his own. Colton and

Trina met almost 3 years ago at Summit lnt.School of Ministry and have decided to tie the

. knot! Congratulations Guys!The beautiful quilt? Well that is another story! Itcarne from Askewville Assembly of God in NorthCarolina. When Colton was very young, theirladies made all of our children a hand stitchedquilt. Whenever Colton saw them through theyears he would remind them, " I still have my

quilt!" You can imagine his joy when he openeda beautiful Queen size quilt, made by those same

ladies almost 20 years later. You can't buyfriends like that! Thank you Ms. Johnny

Mizelle and all the lovely folk from Askewville.

Last weekend was a difficult one for two of our boys -brothers, who have been at Adullam House now foralmost 7 years. Their father was shot and killed atjust 38 years of age. They didn't see him very oftenbut the sad news rocked their world. The other boysrallied around them in a silent show of sympathy andsupport. They felt their pain.

The funeral, which was 3 hours away, wasflooded with Adullam House Staff and children whoset off in the wee hours of the morning to be there.None of us could help but think that, but for thegrace of God, our boys could have been apart ofthat scenario. How grateful we are that Godbrought them our way How grateful we are that Heallowed us to raise these boys. When you give tohelp Adullam House you are literally saving lives.
