PRAISE FOR THE LORD'S MERCIES

"Bless the Lord, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!

Bless the Lord, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:

Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,

Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and tender mercies,

Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s."

~Psalm 103:1-5

A PSALM OF DAVID

"I will praise the Lord at all times.
    I will constantly speak his praises.

I will boast only in the Lord;
    let all who are helpless take heart.

Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness;
    let us exalt his name together.

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.
    He freed me from all my FEARS."

~Psalm 34:1-4

San Angelo Teams Visits The Aldea Orphanage

LOVE IS THE GREATEST

"If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. If I had the gift of prophecy, and if I understood all of God’s secret plans and possessed all knowledge, and if I had such faith that I could move mountains, but didn’t love others, I would be nothing. If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it; but if I didn’t love others, I would have gained nothing.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.

Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless. But love will last forever! Now our knowledge is partial and incomplete, and even the gift of prophecy reveals only part of the whole picture! But when the time of perfection comes, these partial things will become useless.

When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely.

Three things will last forever—faith, hope, and love—and the greatest of these is LOVE."

~1 Corinthians 13:1-13

TRUE LOVE AND COMPASSION

As a new day dawns, the San Angelo Volunteer Team rises early to head to the Markets to buy food for six families, families that are desperately struggling with malnourishment and too poor to make ends meet financially. Whatever their circumstance may be, the San Angelo Team humbly recognizes that each day, these families are just trying to survive. Many of them with small children and precious babies, living in harsh conditions with lack of clean water or a warm place to sleep. Most of the families are found through the church annexes. Some families so dedicated to serving and learning about their one and only Savior, that for many, they walk long distances to attend church regularly to fellowship with other believers and thank God for His love and grace.

Thank you to all team members, who sacrificially gave of your time and resources to touch the lives of these six families. Thank you for your love and dedication you have given to the people in Peru, as many of you come to serve year after year along-side Villa Milagro Ministries.

What an incredible experience as this team joined together to buy food for the six families. Each family will receive meals that will hopefully last them 2-3 weeks and opens a door to LOVE on them and to let them know how much they care!
