The Gift of Hope, by Angela Ramos

God has a plan and that plan involves us. As we reach out our hand to help others, it’s really God’s hand reaching out.

God loves the Nigerians we’re serving (John 3:16) and has a plan of hope that involves Chris and me (and our boys). It involves everyone who will step up and give to this ministry. It’s in these moments that we have such an amazing opportunity to tell them how much our Creator in heaven adores them and wants to have a relationship with them.
