Update ...

We just wanted to pass along the most recent information we've been able to get on the food situation at the orphanage... this is the letter that Angel, the Liberia program director, wrote:

"I spoke with our adoption director in Liberia on Monday and food had been secured for the children. Christian Adoption Services sent $1000and a couple of donors sent $2000. A container of food was shipped from the US in October and should be arriving at the port in Liberia shortly. Please pray that it will beeasy to get it out of the port. It can sometimes take up to 3 weeksto get it out of port and to the orphanages. Christian Adoption Services is working on a new sponsorship program where people will have the opportunity to sponsor children at the orphanages for $40 a month. The website for the program should be finished in about a week. I will post a link to the site when it isfinished. There has been a small sponsorship program maintained by a family in Pennsylvania, but less then half of the children are sponsored and monthly donations are at about one-third of what is needed to maintain the orphanages. The family in Pennsylvania is excited about this new opportunity that will provide better communications between children and sponsors. Please continue to pray with us that God would provide abundantly. Blessings, Angel"
