The War Cry | DECEMBER 2014
God used The Salvation Army as the
instrument of His blessings for my family.
I was privileged to be a part of the child
sponsorship program of The Salvation Army.
Lorna Summer, a Canadian citizen, sponsored
me. Ms. Summer epitomized expressing love
for God through action. Her thoughtfulness
and regular financial help, helped me to meet
my needs in school and family needs as well.
I will never forget how happy my family and
I were each time we received help. It was
always perfect in times of need.
I am forever grateful to The Salvation
Army child sponsorship program, where I
received hope and spiritual nourishment.
Had it not been for the program, it would
have been very difficult for my family to
help me finish my studies.
MY
FRIENDS
W
hen I was growing
up, my father was a
part�time laborer
and my mother was
a housewife who supplemented the
family's income by doing household
chores for our friends. Life in the
Philippines was very diffi cult, but
because of God's faithfulness to our
family, He never let us go hungry.
We experienced how God blessed
us in our everyday lives.
