"Jesus loves the little children of the world...
They're all precious in His sight. "
In Matthew 19:14 Jesus said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven."
In serving in the area of ministry as the Conference Superintendent of LifePoint Ministries (LPM) one of the highest honors I have is to serve on the Falcon Children's Home (FCH) Executive Board in Falcon, North Carolina.
This Children's Home Ministry is quickly expanding, recently opening another Children's Home in South Carolina. They also have a ministry (Royal Home Ministry) for young pregnant mothers offering, counseling, and educational opportunities in a nurturing, protected atmosphere at the Falcon, North Carolina campus. On the campus at Falcon they have a "Falcon Christian Academy" as well as other various programs that minister to the children.
I sat this past week in a FCH Executive Board meeting and was reminded of how God is using this ministry to save the lives of the unborn, and to touch the lives of many children often in very heart-rending circumstances. I am very thankful for the opportunity that allows me to spend 4 to 6 days a year traveling to Falcon and investing in this ministry.
Thousands of dollars have been given over the years from LifePoint Ministries IPHC churches and individuals to this ministry. Thanks you for your heart to give! Also thanks to the Women's Ministries of LifePoint Ministries IPHC for helping those within our organization to be aware of the needs at FCH. When you support LifePoint Ministries IPHC you are also helping to support this ministry. This is one of many different organizations that we network with to help fulfill the Great Commission.

On the home front: I encourage you this weekend to intentionally notice the little children that God has place around you. Be intentional in speaking, encouraging, and possibly (with parent's permission) praying with a child. It could make a world difference in their heart and life.
After all, they really are "precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world!"
