How Big Is Your Heart?

Please let me introduce you to our would be Kenyan daughter, Lillian. She stays at the Maximum Miracle Center Home for Street Children. A few years ago God lead the bishop of that ministry, Bishop Pius Muiru, to invite the street children at one of his crusades to throw away their drugs and their knives and accept Jesus. Although he had no where to put them he then said that he would take care of them. I hear that there are over 120 who stay at the Children's home now. By the way if you'd like to help this good cause there is a button on the website this link will take you too that will allow you to donate through paypal:

My wife Monique and I wanted to take Lillian home but as we found out it is a very complicated process and one we don't currently qualify to do. This made us very sad. The funny thing is that we don't have a lot of money...but God has given us hearts that really want to reach out and help the hurting. I think that's why people are often touched by the songs I write. My heart is big enough to feel deeply the emotions of life's stories. And I love to sing those stories for you. They make me feel alive and useful.

Maybe if I become more well known like Madonna or Angelina Jolie we'll be able to bring Lillian home with us. How big is your heart?
