Meet Metehbel Phiri

This is one of the Isubilo orphaned children saved in 2003:

Hannah and Phil found Metehbel and her 2 sisters Yvonne & Mercy in very poor conditions. She was frail and meek, not knowing whether she'd live many more days.


Over 4 years ago, Isubilo worked on collecting over 200 orphans to join the OVC program to assist with food, clothes, shoes & school supplies / costs + ARV medication to treat those with HIV+ /AIDS.
Today, Metehbel is a growing girl at the ripe age of 15. You can see a recognisable difference between these two photos. She is only in Grade 6 as she could not start school until she was strong enough. Metehbel , although a very quiet girl, has the most glorious smile you will ever see!

Real stories about Isubilo orphans that are doing so well!!

Bless all who donated clothing plus the generous sponsors for continuing their support in providing a better life for these kids...

more updates on the new Isubilo OVC Centre building -- coming soon...

Today is Rememberance Day, and although I did take time to remember the soldiers in wars past, I also took time to remember some of my heroes, and I couldn't help but think of you. Your courage, your spirit, your obedience and most of all your love is a daily testament to God's working in your life. Thank you, my dear friend, for living a life so beautifully dedicated to serving and giving of yourself.

Have a wonderful day, and I look forward to chatting with you on Skype again soon!

Much love,
Rachelle :)

'Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. But God chose the foolish things of this world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of this world to shame the strong. He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things - and the things that are not - to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him. It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 1: 26 - 31
