"Take care of my sheep... Feed my sheep." It bears repeating afterall, since Jesus, himself, said it three times to Simon Peter after asking him "Do you love me?" (John 21:15-17)
"Formula One Life" is headed to Guatemala this November to feed some of the littlest lambs by delivering baby formula to orphanages in dire need on account of the country's severe food shortage. Compounding the hunger crisis is the orphan crisis- only worsening since the country shut down its' adoption program some time ago. After contacting three different orphanages today, I received three prompt replies within hours... Here are some excerpts from those replies:
"Wow! This is an answer to prayer! We have a number of infants, and spend about $1400/MONTH ON FORMULA IF WE DO NOT GET IT DONATED. THIS WOULD BE A HUGE BLESSING! Thank you!" (Amor del Nino)
"We service about 20 infants with formula and have more mothers asking us everyday... We could use a lot as we have many mothers without milk because of the food crisis. We started the formula program after the baby of one of our workers died because the mom had no milk. Thank you so much for this offer." (Casa de Sion)
"Yes, we need support... At the moment we are looking after 30 children, and our goal is to duplicate that next year... Thank you very much for your offer." (Hannah’s Hope)
Please hear the urgency in these petitions from Guatemala and consider being a vital ingredient in this "Formula One Life" mission. A can of baby formula-- or enough to cover the cost of one-- will truly become a bottle of love for a baby in need.
