Summer Interns?
Just wanted to get something out there regarding the opportunities Another Child gives to college aged students. ACF offers special summer intern opportunities to people aged 18-24 during June and July. The times in which a student can travel to Romania with ACF are very flexible. This year we have 2 interns ready to go. Taylor Jenkins and Jessica Huettel. These 2 will be fully involved in leadership roles while serving the orphans and at-risk children ACF serves. So, if you are interested or know of someone who might be interested ACF still has room for 2 more summer interns. Please contact us at 815.303.1725 or go to our website at www.anotherchild.org for more details.

The ACF Blog is BACK!!!
Hey everyone...it is getting close to the time of year where Mission trip plans are being finalized and the teams are really starting to get prepared. With this being said the ACF BLOG is back! I will be making regular (weekly) posts over the next few months up until our mission teams start making posts themselves.
The 1 item I wanted to start with is the idea of understanding how and why God works in our lives. God does some amazing works through the Holy Spirit. He speaks loudly and clearly to us through the work of the Spirit. At times our hearts burn for justice for those who do not have a voice, at times we respond to this burn with compassion and at times we just might ignore it because it might not fit into OUR plans for that day, week, or time. The longer we ignore the heartache God puts into us the dimmer our influence on everyone we come into contact with becomes.
The second and more easily answered question is that of WHY. Why does God want us to be good stewards of our time, talents, and treasures? I think Micah 6:8 tells it best when we read...
No, O people, the LORD has told you what is good,
and this is what he requires of you:
to do what is right, to love mercy,
and to walk humbly with your God.
If we are not the hands and feet of Christ going into the world looking for thones who need our help who is? The human traffickers? The people looking to trap the orphan into something they can never escape because of their lack of support system?
Please take this calling on your life seriously! EVERYONE is called to do something for someone. For who are you the voice of?
See you next week!
