OPERATION BLESSING BLESSES THE HOME
As the Bible says in everything there is a season. The month of August, the mission was experiencing a severe financial crisis. But God allows these experiences to happen to let the children and the staff bend their knees in prayer. In Aug. 24th 2010 God answers prayers when Zarah Bantug from the Operation Blessing let Erik Castillo drove the car carrying the 4 sack of rice and toiletries to the Jireh Home. It was a surprise to the children; they were screaming joyfully seeing the 4 sack of rice. We have been lucky to have this opportunity to be chosen by the Operation Blessing to be one of the beneficiaries of the OB Orphans’ Promise. The Jireh Home for Children appreciates so much your support. We wish you great success of your organization. God will richly bless you pressed down, shaken together and running down all over.
