He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? - Micah 6:8

Praise God for this testimony received from one of our leaders in South Asia. They were going through tough times, but the Lord came through and gave them the peace that they needed. Then they were introduced to a man who taught them social work methods for meeting the needs of helpless widows, and they were also able to help widows who are bonded laborers, supplying them and their kids with food and other basic needs.

From Lulu Tree President Emily T. Wierenga, talking about her journey with Jesus and Lulu on 100 Huntley Street...

We all try to fill the void somehow…

More work. More distractions. Another toxic relationship. More control. Yet somehow, we end up feeling emptier than before.

In this powerful conversation, I share my journey from deep brokenness and an eating disorder that nearly took my life… to discovering the sustaining power of Christ.

From missionary life in the Congo to miracles in Africa through The Lulu Tree, I open up about pain, purpose, spiritual hunger, and the authority we have in Jesus to overcome darkness and impact the world around us.

If your soul has been searching for something real, this conversation is for you. If you feel led, will you share this? You never know who might need to hear this.

"But there are no more plates. Members of our team walk around, discreetly collecting dirty plates from those who’ve finished, returning them to the kitchen to be washed.

I peek in to check on the progress. One woman sits on a chair in the dark kitchen, slowly washing plates in a bucket on the floor.

I cringe. It’s so inefficient. I quietly offer to help, to move the bucket to the counter, to do anything that will make this process move faster so we can feed the hungry people..." read the whole post at: https://thelulutree.substack.com/p/no-more-plates

We are so thrilled that the first kids' club began in Sri Lanka in April! They've met once more since then.

We praise God these children are learning about Him!

Father, we pray that we would learn to rely on Jesus Christ alone and that we would not attempt to build any foundation outside of Him, for we know that everything else will one day pass away, but He will remain.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. - Psalm 119:105

I’d forgotten the power of attaching flesh and tendon to name, of peering into a name’s eyes. Because most of the time, all we at The Lulu Tree have is a name. And we pray over these names, over these mamas and their children, but then we finally step off the plane into their sandals, and the dust clings to our feet.

We are so grateful for the amazing leaders God has raised up to oversee the Lulu Tree programs in each country, and for the quarterly reports they send updating us with moving testimonies and beautiful photos.

Please pray for their resilience, dedication, safety, and health as they serve the Lord and His people.
