Rain

By Mike and Dottie Clark Apr 2, 2026 3 Min Read

Julieta and Jackie make Dottie laugh. There is a real Christian love between the three of them. Jackie stays in our house over 10 hours on Tuesdays and Saturdays so Adela has two days off. We miss Carolyn and are still praying someone will come to help us.

We had a board zoom call and it was very encouraging. God is good.

Also, we received five children 10, 8, 6, 4 and 15 months so, keep praying for more increase in children and donors.

We had a wonderful 2-hour hard rain yesterday. We kept losing power and the pitch black in the dorms scares the younger children and the baby dorm.

The divorce rate is the least in India at1% and the highest is the United States at 45-52%. India though has strange beliefs about marriage. But the USA knows what God says about divorce. And this number is even higher because there are so many people in the USA that just live together.

Where has God and the Bible gone? Obviously, it is no longer a part of the majority which is sad. David Jeremiah said in his sermon last Sunday that there is a new word among people under 30 years of age and it is called EXEVANGELIST. In the Bible you read it in I Thessalonians 2:1-3 the term “THE FALLING AWAY”. So many young people walk away from their faith.

He says it is due to DECEPTION, DISILLUCIONMENT, and DISTRACTION. It seems true to me. I have seen many in each category. We need to EXAMINE OURSELVES if we are in the FAITH. ENCOURAGE YOURSELF BY READING HIS WORD AND PRAYING DAILY! Don´t wait for someone else to encourage. ENCOURAGE YOURSELF!

Don´t allow this to condemn yourself if you are divorced. That is not my purpose. I am not judging. Just be sure God is in your dating and marriage. Members of both Dottie and my family have been through divorces but the next time around they do it right.

“HIGH PRIEST ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC” is another name for Jesus and is found in Hebrews 5:9-10. “And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all that obey Him; called of God a HIGH PRIEST AFTER THE ORDER OF MELCHISEDEC.” This is a name that is the mysterious in the Bible. Genesis 14:12-20. After a war Abraham gave a gift to Melchisedec. This was not a worldly priest, but a priest sent by God. Jesus´s is eternal without beginning or end.
