First came an unexpected request from a missionary. Would they consider adopting a Zapotec baby boy from Mexico? Three months later, they were cradling a tiny raven-haired boy, whom they took home to southern California to join their family.<\/p>\n But God\u2019s plan was only just getting started. As their love for their son grew, so did their concern for their neighbors south of the border. Five years later, Charles was asked to drive a truck of clothing to an orphanage in Tijuana, Mexico. Though the orphanage was just twenty-five miles south of San Diego, God would use the short journey to change their lives yet again. The orphanage overlooked a garbage dump where more than ninety abandoned children lived. The sight caused Charla to weep. The children living in the garbage looked just like her little boy at home.<\/p>\n They delivered the clothes and continued south into the Baja Peninsula. They were lost and out of gas when they stumbled upon a group of crumbling adobe buildings. Images from the dump were fresh in Charla\u2019s mind, and her heart was still raw for those abandoned children. As she looked out over the arid land surrounding the old buildings, faith opened her eyes to what she describes as a God-given vision. She heard the sound of children\u2019s laughter in the empty structures. The desert plain became a field of wheat before her eyes. The words of John 4:35 reverberated through her: \u201cLo, the fields are white unto harvest.\u201d<\/p>\n Charla believed she had seen God\u2019s vision for that place. With little more than faith, she and Charles bought that land and started Foundation For His Ministry (FFHM). Through a lot of hard work they revamped the adobe buildings and started bringing in the little ones in from the streets. Forty-eight years later, they haven\u2019t stopped. The ministry now runs three orphanages throughout Mexico and has planted multiple churches and a Bible school for training church leaders.<\/p>\n When I visited the vibrant facility in Baja in 2008, I met Charla, who at the time of this writing is still involved in the ministry as much as possible. I held the joyful orphans rescued from the streets and garbage dumps. I saw firsthand the joyful FaithWalkers who care for the disabled and poor, provide free medical care, run a school, sustain a macadamia nut orchard, manage a fire and rescue department relied on by the community, and much more. Charla and Charles know that only God could have grown this work from a vision in one woman\u2019s mind to an organization that has influenced thousands. That\u2019s the kind of story he can write when you are willing to let faith open your eyes.<\/p>\n It\u2019s packed with practical helps, challenging thoughts, and real-life stories of people who stepped out before they knew how it would all turn out.<\/p>\n Not quite ready to buy the book?
