Outreach in Georgia

Update posted by Marion Virginia Smith

2016-2017 (Outreach in Georgia)

While on the mission field, one of the missionaries shared with me that God said I would have more kids. I thought this was absolutely insane. I wondered which way, Mary or Sarah? I just knew I was not having more kids.However, soon after returning home to the mission house in Georgia, I was afforded the blessing of caring for two children who had become homeless. They remained with me for almost a year. About 3 months later, a social worker from the State of Georgia contacted me and asked if I could take a teen boy into my home who had been severely abused and neglected and needed an immediate placement.I can do this!I just spent months living with teens and young adults and learning how to survive, barely, but I made it through.Now I was beginning to see why God had directed me back…The Refuge, in its unfinished state, was already being used to help others.Ofcourse, this was not my plan.I wanted everything finished and looking good before inviting anyone in.God had other plans…
