We proclaim how great you are and tell of the wonderful things you have done. Psalm 75:1
We have much to praise God about and much to be thankful. (1 Chronicles 16:34)
Saving Susan Ministry exists because God gave our Founder, Jay a plan through heartbreak
after meeting Vichika, aka Susan. He has given us the opportunity to serve these children who
have no hope of adoption or a “normal” family as we know.
There is one constant we have seen the Lord do and believe it is because of our need to be in
prayer from our desire to seek HIS guidance continually. God, our Father is constant (Hebrews
13:8) in blessing this ministry with more than we can ask or imagine. He often answers our
prayers in ways that are bigger than we vision and through most surprising methods.
The year of 2017 brought CHALLENGES we did not desire-however HE is faithful; new ministry
PARTNERS -we are grateful; RESOURCES we did not expect-we are delighted and most of all
new PARENT PARTNERS-stepping into the lives of these children God has called us to care
for.
We share our “Year in Review” from a place of humility and it may sound cliche but all the
Praise and Glory goes to God our Father. We continue to pray He finds us humble and willing
to follow where He leads. (Ruth 1:16b)
So we invite you to take a break a few minutes, learn what the Lord has done in 2017 and pray
for us in 2018!
