We've been talking today
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
with Barbara
Neher and Susan Schnell
00:00:02.70\00:00:04.03
with It's My Very Own is
the name of the ministry.
00:00:04.07\00:00:07.50
Tell the story
you've just shared with me
00:00:07.54\00:00:09.20
about the little girl
00:00:09.24\00:00:10.94
who the
caseworker took her there,
00:00:10.97\00:00:13.34
she was in her
home of her new bedroom
00:00:13.38\00:00:16.44
at the foster care
home, and what happened?
00:00:16.48\00:00:19.05
Well, as the caseworker
was doing the final things
00:00:19.08\00:00:23.35
with the foster mom,
the little girl came out,
00:00:23.45\00:00:26.72
and she says, "Miss.
Pat, would you like to come in
00:00:26.82\00:00:30.29
and see my bedroom?"
00:00:30.39\00:00:31.83
She said, "Certainly."
00:00:31.86\00:00:33.23
So she went in there,
00:00:33.26\00:00:34.56
and she had taken
everything out of the bag,
00:00:34.60\00:00:37.00
the bag was folded up
neatly and put on the pillow
00:00:37.03\00:00:39.50
along with all of the
things that were in the bag,
00:00:39.53\00:00:42.37
and the quilt was
spread out onto her bed,
00:00:42.40\00:00:45.67
and she stepped
back, and she says,
00:00:45.71\00:00:47.51
"Isn't this just beautiful?"
00:00:47.54\00:00:50.08
You know, this is so special.
00:00:50.11\00:00:51.61
But the Red Cross
actually contacted you
00:00:51.65\00:00:56.72
after a really major fire
00:00:56.75\00:00:59.29
where 19 children were affected,
00:00:59.32\00:01:02.59
and they lost
everything they had,
00:01:02.62\00:01:04.73
and what happened?
00:01:04.76\00:01:06.39
Well, this was on a
Tuesday that they contacted us,
00:01:06.43\00:01:10.33
and they wanted to know
00:01:10.37\00:01:11.70
if they
qualified for our program,
00:01:11.73\00:01:14.50
well, it took me all
of two seconds to say yes.
00:01:14.54\00:01:18.41
And so we went to work.
00:01:18.44\00:01:20.04
Well, I did not have
enough quilts and stuff.
00:01:20.14\00:01:23.31
And so I had everybody,
00:01:23.41\00:01:26.38
the community,
and everything else
00:01:26.41\00:01:28.05
and by Saturday
we delivered 19 bags,
00:01:28.08\00:01:31.52
plus 8 bags for the mothers.
00:01:31.55\00:01:34.02
Praise God.
00:01:34.12\00:01:35.46
Thank you so
much for what you do
00:01:35.49\00:01:37.39
for the glory of God and
for helping these children.
00:01:37.49\00:01:40.56
And we just pray that you
will consider becoming involved
00:01:40.60\00:01:45.43
with this ministry
in your own community.
00:01:45.47\00:01:49.07
May the grace of our
Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
00:01:49.10\00:01:51.51
the love of the Father,
00:01:51.54\00:01:52.87
and the
fellowship of the Holy Spirit
00:01:52.91\00:01:54.34
be with you always.
00:01:54.38\00:01:56.04
