God, The Great Provider

by Whitney Williams

When Luisa Sicay lost her husband in a tragic accident seven years ago, she questioned how she could ever provide for the needs of her young family.

Turning pain into poetry
The work and witness of “Mi Especial Tesoro,” a healing home for once broken girls

Beautiful. Valued. Loved. Special. Pure. These words seem foreign to many of the girls living at “Mi Especial Tesoro” (My Special Treasure) home in Guatemala.

God Uses iPods to Speak Volumes

When a church youth group from Winnsboro, Texas showed up to “My Special Treasure,” a girls’ home in Guatemala, with iPod Shuffles in tow, they weren’t just some rich Americans bearing gifts—they were evidence of a God who listens and cares.

‘The Lord Connected the Dots’
Getting to know our director in Honduras, Austin South

Much like a child’s connect-the-dot game, a lot of stuff we go through in life seems random. At least until God draws in the lines. And so it was with Austin South, our director/coordinator in Honduras.

Traveling to La Paz

We traveled to the small village of La Paz in Honduras on the newly built road from Tegucigalpa to San Pedro Sula. In that village is an orphanage in a building that looks as if it has been recently bombed or is an ancient ruin. It is run by a former nun who by faith felt the call to help orphans and children of the street have a safe place to live. No resources except her faith and love the Lord has provided a donor who is building her a new campus on land the city officials gave her. Orphan Outreach came to know her through our Director in Honduras, Austin South. It is amazing to see how the timing of our connection happened at a time the donor who is building the building was hoping someone could help her run the home. He felt called to build her a campus but had not knowledge on how to manage and children's home and knew Edith needed help.
