Sacrifice…surrender, selflessness, pain.

Praise…joy, thankfulness, celebration.

A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.

Life in a slum community where there’s never enough food, space, privacy, beds, or water and always too much pain, brokenness, abuse, and crime.  But there is a light in the form of a new building that brings hope to the hopeless.  A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.

Expenses are rising for utilities, water, and employee pay.  But hope is rising too in the form of a library and a computer lab and a place of refuge.  A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.

Challenging leadership decisions, loss of camp location, and hurting people.  But now a new camp by the beach with new partners and more space.  A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.

Saying good bye to our social worker assistant Marigold, and needing a new person to disciple the girls of Arm of Hope.  But so happy for Marigold’s scholarship and a peace that God will provide the right person at the right time.  A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.

Abandonment, tears, fear, and struggle.  Voices singing, hands raised, and joyful worship.  A SACRIFICE OF PRAISE

Betrayal, suffering, and death on the cross.   But resurrection, life, and salvation.  JESUS IS THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE OF PRAISE.
