“There are times in human history when man needs more than anything else REAL HOPE.”

One of the top highlights for me this year has been getting involved with ESC Works to bless orphans and the nation of Mexico.

On Thursday April 12, I received an email from Laurie Roberts titled “PLEASE HELP TODAY! THANK YOU!” In her plea for help, Laurie said she needed to raise about $3,600 within 12 hours to be able to fly with her 11 year old daughter from Mexico to Los Angeles for an important 9-day trip.

Within 4-6 hours, someone stepped forward and offered to cover the $1668.00 cost for the training by AMTC (Actors, Models, and Talents For Christ). Then another $1106 was donated by 8 different people after I sent an email to half of my list. It was enough to purchase the plane tickets and send Laurie and Ieeaha on their way, even though they still need another $800 to be gifted in the next few days for their expenses in LA.

After the long day yesterday, Laurie wrote, “Today was amazing seeing Ieesha SHINE! She has so much fun in her, so refreshing and full of life. What an amazing team here at AMTC WORLD. Their faith and encouragement to each participant is evident in all that they do. Thank you again to all of you who prayed and gave!”

Ieesha is called to be a model of hope to millions of other young women, especially to Hispanic youth and Mexicans.

Jesus hears the cries of the brokenhearted. When you have the Father’s heart you will too. Today I was led to this touching YouTube video by an email from Claire Parker-Chauvet in the U.K.

Cry Of The Broken – Darlene Zschech

 
Lyrics for Cry of the Broken by Hillsong

Lord I come
Lord I thank you
For your love
For this grace divine
Love and mercy
Undeserving
You gave it all
The greatest sacrifice

You were wounded
For my sin
And You were bruised
For all my shame
You were broken
For my healing
Only by the cross
I’m saved

You’re the mender of the broken
To every outcast
A friend and comforter

We are desperate for Your presence
We are helpless here without You God

I come boldly to your presence
Lord I bow before your throne
You’re my healer
My redeemer
You’re my hope, my life, my all

You hear the cry of the broken
You hear the cry of the broken
You hear the cry of the broken
[x2]

You answer the cry of the broken
You answer the cry of the broken
You answer the cry of the broken
