Partners Speak Out: Robin Manning
We were first able to put together a Holiday Market of local venders to bring about awareness and donations. Four of us ran a marathon for the MWP children. Two of my three children wanted to help by collecting donations for their birthday party instead of presents. In Oct. of 2008, the children of our church (see picture below) made themselves prayer pillows and they were each able to choose a name of an orphan to pray for. We have about 120 of our kids praying for 120 orphans as we speak. The children also raised money through the “Kindness Project.” But I am here to tell you that all this wasn't by my hands but by the hands of the Lord. I've never wiped the tears away of a child in Sudan . I haven't had the honor of washing the feet of a Sudanese widow. I've never seen the loss of life face to face through war. But I can hear the cry of the oppressed in the Sudan all the way over here in Wilmington, NC.
“and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The Lord will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land.” Isaiah 58:10-11
“I am an individual who wants nothing more than to serve the Lord. When I look around at all the problems, needs and pain of the people in Sudan , I feel as though I have little hands. God's hands are huge! If enough of God's people come together hand in hand to help our brothers and sisters in Christ, lives can be changed, transformed, and renewed.” Please support MWP. It is a blessing all the way around.

I
first met Kimberly Smith, the founder of MWP, in Wilmington,
NC. I was at a prayer meeting at a little elderly lady's house
when I heard Kimberly speak to about eight of us. She had
no pictures just her voice speaking of the needs of God's
children in Sudan. I had no idea that this kind of pain was
happening in this day in time. I couldn't stop thinking about
it. I told my friends and family and they immediately wanted
to do something.
