We celebrated American Thanksgiving here this past week and I am sure that most of you celebrated with family and friends back home. Thanksgiving is a time to think back on all that we have to be thankful for. What are you thankful for? Most people I know would say they are thankful for God, family, a home and several other things. Now I want you to think what it would be like to not have that family, that home the knowledge of God and your faith. Life would be much more difficult and it would be harder to find things to be thankful for. Well it is only with your prayer and financial support that the kids we serve can have these things to be thankful for.
American Thanksgiving in Philippines
Every year for Christmas We try to take our three orphan kids on a little get away and do something fun. Last year we went to Cebu and gave them each a budget for a new outfit and a toy. This is always something extra and cost some money but it is something we do to make the kids feel special and give them a chance to see more of their country than their little village.

School kids
With your help we also are able to provide all of our school age children with an education. They can learn and earn an education with the hopes that they will be able to have and provide themselves with a better life than they would of had if not living with us.
We have to keep them contained somehow. HAHAHA
I close by asking that you would prayerfully consider how you might be able to be a part of our ministry. We celebrated Thanksgiving and then I am sure some of you went black Friday shopping and maybe even some of you used cyber Monday to spend money. I am asking you to consider supporting the kids we care for and help us provide them a nice Christmas get away again this year. Consider the Lucas Shelter For Children as you consider what you can give on giving Tuesday. Thank you and God bless.
