This is Jim preparing to help a 2 yr. old after he uses the side of the road as a bathroom. This is what we did in Mae Sot, Thailand last May. We found the kids on the street, fed them, taught them, and acted as their guardians. We often found them wandering the streets as late as midnight because they had not found a place to hide for the night. There are thousands of children left vulnerable to disease, kidnapping, exploitation, prostitution and severe abuse. Our friend Sia is working hard to help these kids, but there is a need for more help. Moved by compassion & led by God, we feel that He is calling us as a family to be in Thailand as much as possible to serve Him and rescue these little ones. Since our trip in May 2008, God has provided a home for these street children to live in a home. There are many more to be rescued.
We as a family are making a long trip to Thailand with our entire family this January. The specific training, experience, and heart we have is a perfect fit for the work we’ve been invited to take part in. We will be working with, and serving Compasio, (www.compasio.org) for about five months. We’ll be back in Modesto by May 2010.
We’ve developed a very unique relationship with Compasio and we’re excited to see what God will do through us and in us.
Please pray with us as we venture into the unknown. In the meantime, we work to love, teach, and befriend the broken and lost on the streets of Modesto, California, and everywhere we go. We need you all to keep praying for us. Thank you and Amen.
And it's why Jimmy's going to climb a mountain... This one in fact and you can help!
Jim will be climbing Mt. Whitney as a fund raiser. The elevation of Mt. Whitney is 14,505 ft. above sea level making it the tallest peak in the lower 48. The trail-head starts at around 8,000 ft. Total feet climbed would be around 6,500. We’re asking for pledges for each foot climbed. The goal is to collectively raise $1.00 per foot, and we are scheduled to climb the first week of September. Please let us know what you are able to do. Pledges can be recorded by e-mailing: robotsinthesky@yahoo.com, & would need to be collected by Oct. 1st.
