Lili in Canada??

Friday, November 30th, 2007

VFC has a special prayer request. The following post was written by Dianne Buchholz. She joined the VFC Family in 2006 and went to Chile for 30 days both this and last year. We are praying that God allows one of the young ladies from the Hogar move to Canada with Dianne! (The man in the photo with Lili is the principal of Lili’s school)

Lili was our star pedicure student last year (2006) and has used her skills with manicures and pedicures to help raise some money over this past year. We, at Vision for Chile are very proud of Lili.
Last year I fell in love with this young lady. The Lord kept her on my heart until on day last December when I asked my husband if she could come and live with us. His answer was ’sure’. After checking with Lili to see if she was interested we began to dream of the day when she would be here. (more…)

Final Thoughts

Wednesday, November 7th, 2007

Well, the VFC 2007 trip has come to an end. God has blessed us with another successful year of ministry to the girls’ home in Santiago. As we return home, I hope the team members take a moment to reflect back on this past month. As mission trips go this has been one of the hardest I have ever been on. The injuries, the trips to the hospitals, the truck braking down (twice), and just the wear and tear of the month are what made this trip tough. However, the good things have out weighed the bad. New rooms were built, walls were painted, tile was laid, and trash removed. More importantly, though, friendships have been made, the girls have been loved, and people have come to Christ. God has blessed us so much. I just take this time to praise Him for all that happened during this year’s trip!
