The Saunders Family

The Saunders family (missing a few kids) at Christmas time. Elizabeth and Elijah had just got home from Uganda.

Sweet friends,

PLEASE continue to pray for the Saunders family . If I thought that things just could not get any worse for them—yesterday they did! Their son ended up having an emergency surgery. My goodness, how much can one family handle? It all just seems too much!

They have lost everything they own. Their house is pretty much completely destroyed. These are amazing, truly inspiring people. Talk about pouring out their lives for the orphan! They have chosen to live a life that goes against the ‘norm’—a life of sacrifice. A friend has applied to Extreme Home Makeover to have their home rebuilt. How amazing would that be? A Christian family, loving and serving God with ALL theirs hearts on EHM? Oooohhh, how God would get ALL the glory! If you have not yet read Linny’s blog, PLEASE go over and read it and send them a word of encouragement. Then, go to the makeover site I just mentioned (just click on the word ‘friend’) and write a note about why you think they deserve this makeover. I know that ALL the comments are going to count in their application to EHM.

A few years ago the Saunders sold their huge home and scaled down to get out of debt—all so that they could bring home MORE children. Their little log home was just about 2000 sq feet. Nice an cozy with a LOT of kids 🙂 How I am trusting God that He is going to give them beauty for ashes in all of this (literally!). That their new home is going to be bigger—just so that they can accommodate their ever-expanding family.

Come on CHURCH—let’s all chip in a do our part to help a family so desperately in need. A family who truly does deserve it. Let’s BE the hands and feet of Jesus!

This is the Saunders house before the fire.
