Here is an excerpt from the newsletter...

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Babalwa says it best when she writes, “The past quarter has been one where we have been so encouraged and full of praise and glory for God and also where our faith has been challenged in many situations. We have seen prayers answered and we want to be a people of hope in all circumstances.” At the outset we want to give praise where it is fully due! We have seen several places of safety and other NGOs shut down over the last few months due to lack of finances. UL started off as a faith organization – our very first instruction from God was to never ask for finances or fundraise but in everything to bring our needs to Him who is more than able to provide. Time and again we have seen Him be faithful to His promises. This last month was especially difficult as the bank balance was dismal and we looked to be unable to pay staff salaries. One evening last week, Sheralyn (Trustee) was watching a DVD which told the story of an orphanage that was run by faith and NEVER lacked anything. Her faith was boosted and she began to pray. The next day we received the government grant money for our first lot of kids – the grant which we have been struggling to obtain for months! It was enough to pay bills and staff salaries! Our God is a God who supplies all our needs – even though He sometimes leaves it to the last minute. We have been reminded that this House began from a place of intense prayer and absolute obedience and taking God at His word – and it will ONLY be sustained by the same!
