God isn't just good, He's great.

God isn’t just good, He’s great.  And I don’t just mean that in the warm and fuzzy, abstract kind of way.  I mean He is great in the specifics.  Here are just a few reasons why:

-- 4.  The number of new children’s homes we have started the Child Sponsorship Program in over the last 3 months.  This has included one home that is for children whose parents have either been martyred for their faith or killed by the AIDS epidemic, one home for children with special needs, and one safe house for girls coming out of trafficking.  And just yesterday I found out we will be starting at one more in India!  Just imagine what this means for the 100+ children this encompasses.  

-- 2.  The number of top P&G executives who have asked to meet with me to see how they can help the Child Sponsorship Program.  Seriously God??  

-- 6,000.  The number of churches that typically use Standard Publishing VBS curriculum, which this year will feature Back2Back and encourages children to get involved in solving the orphan problem around the world.

-- 200.  The number of unsponsored children that will soon be featured on Back2Back’s website thanks to a web developer who has offered to create the software we need.  Did I mention he doesn’t want to get paid to do this?

-- 345.  The price of my next flight to Monterrey.  Never been that cheap.  Ever.

-- 43. The number of new sponsors that committed to sponsoring children last month alone.  A new record, and more than twice the average per month.  And I’m pretty sure that number will be topped this year.

-- 0.  The number of children I plan to need a sponsor by 2015.

-- 1.  The number of children it would take for me to do this job every day.  Each one is worth it.
