People Making a Difference

Dear Friends of Assist International,

We have all heard the words, "making a difference" many times. What we need to understand is that are many unknown people, people maybe only known to God, who have chosen to put their fingerprints on the needs of our time and have chosen to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. They possibly may never be in the headlines, but they will certainly one day in the headlines of heaven as: PEOPLE MAKING A DIFFERENCE BY CHOICE, NOT BY COERCION. It is people who are motivated, in my view, by a higher calling.

Two of the people we featured in the last mailer were a big part of the recent projects and successes at the FELIX FAMILY VILLAGE in Surat, Thailand. The new homes constructed for orphans was quietly funded by Jim Sankey, a friend of Assist International and Caminul Felix. Lars Hornburg of Sweden is the founder of Caminul Felix Ministries, a ministry Assist International has chosen to partner with since its beginning in 1990. It was a privilege as a member of the FELIX INTERNATIONAL BOARD OF DIRECTORS to attend the inauguration of the FELIX FAMILY VILLAGE on May 9, 2009. As a 'stand in' for Jim Sankey, who could not be present, I cut the ribbon for one of the orphan homes with the mayor of Surat and Lars Hornburg.

We at Assist International salute Lars, Jim and others who are making a difference. There are many people, young and old, over the nineteen years of existence who have and are making a difference. Many of you have chosen to partner with Assist International and together we have committed to HELP HUMANITY... A CHOICE. AS JESUS CHRIST ONCE SAID, "AS MUCH AS YOU HAVE DONE IT TO THE LEAST OF THESE, YOU HAVE DONE UNTO ME." Assist International has chosen to help "the least of these"... and with your help, a difference is in the making.

Thank you for your partnership and thank you for helping us do what cannot be done without your help.
