The Shepards Fold

Be sure to check out the newest link on my blog for the Shepards Fold.

The Shepherd’s Fold USA, Inc. is a Christian registered US 501C(3) charity that helps support formerly abandoned and homeless children that have been taken into the care of one man and his family in Guntur, India.

Although some people might see this family home as an “orphanage”, Jacob , its founder and leader, hopes this will always be a real home to every child who comes there. Both his family in India and the Fold’s supporters in America are a real family to the children. They are considered aunties and uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers, brothers, sisters and cousins - regardless of age or background.

Each child has a story that speaks of hopelessness before he or she was rescued. Through our charitable organisation, we try to provide support for food, shelter, clothing and education. At present, there are 28 children who need our support and love. More are waiting, but permanent housing and funding are needed before we can help them.

God Cares

Sometimes when we are going through tuff times it is easy to start thinking that no one cares what we are going through or that we are alone. Sometimes even well meaning friends forget to call and check on you or let you know they are thinking of you. Life gets busy. Take a moment today to reflect on the goodness and mercy of God. He cares for you and no matter what you are going through there is an answer in his word. God loves you so much that he gave his only son to save you. He numbered the hairs on your head. I love my children so much but I can tell you I do not know how many hairs they have on their heads. Take time today to thank him for the good things in your life and focus on what you do have instead of what you do not have or what you need. Think of someone you can pray for other than yourself. I can tell you when we get our focus on God, off our problems, and on what we can do to help someone else, Our Lives will improve drastically! Be Blessed today!
