Dear Friends of Lesotho/LGM
Month after month God makes it possible for the budget to be sent to Lesotho, to the orphans and to the pastors/directors. It is incredible what He does when He can find obedient and passionate people like you to respond. Thank you for A L L your support.
Just a note about this period we are in now. The entire world seems to be coming awake and alert to the evil that is being done by the elite dark caba and leaders of all nations. All except the Main Stream Media in the USA. We are continually being lied to and falsely led astray by the powers that control our world, and yet people everywhere are being awakened by some "power". Whatever is afoot will come at the permission or hand of Almighty God, I have no doubt. We must be ready at any moment to give a reason for the hope that is within each of us for the "faith that was once delivered to the saints". We cannot falter or hesitate. We must be ready.
Having said that I cannot sidestep this opportunity to throw out to you that the demands in Lesotho Africa among the AIDS orphans and the abandoned children. A growing number of them die every year to be replaced in our program many more than we have the ability to care for. AIDS and the HIV virus is something that is not going away soon and we are committed to care for as many children as we can. The needs also of the new generation of people in Lesotho who have never heard a gospel message is ever before us and we are challenged to continue to reach into this group.
The month of June and July brought us 3 new people who have never contributed before which we are very thankful. However, they simply replaced some who have had to drop out of giving because of the difficult times we are in. We are in great need of more contributors to catch the vision of helping an African country of a decreasing population currently at 1.7 million with more than 400,000 orphans or abandoned children roaming the mountains and valleys. That is staggering and I am once again stricken with the realization that we must do more. The ages of this group are from birth to 30 years and they are ripe for the harvest of the Gospel.
If you are a praying person would you ask God if He would have you give any amount toward this most worthy cause. It is not only humanitarian, but Missions oriented with the command of God as it's impetus, "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." James 1:27 NIV and Matthew 28:19 "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
These two charges are what keeps us going and there is no stopping point.
This letter is also a prayer request letter. The Lord willing, Bettie and I will be going to Lesotho in October and will need your prayer backing and support. We would like to raise extra money to help pay our expenses. We do not take money out of what is given to LGM for any support of our own, only for the operation in Lesotho and our directors. Any extra we raise between now and then will go toward our expenses. We are praying to receive $4000.00 extra which is a minimun for both our expenses and believe that someone out there might get it on their hearts to help us.
Could I take this opportunity to thank you, but to challenge you: "Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble; 11 for so an entrance will be supplied to you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Stay ready to meet Christ at any moment now. Our redemption draweth nigh.
Yours for Jesus Christ our Lord,
Ladell and Bettie Patterson
