Precious Angelita

Angelita, a jewel to all who held her, smiled and I got to see it. That memory will be a lifelong treasure.
Hope for Home is a ministry of the Fulp family… they would tell you it is a ministry of the LORD’s. Both statements are true.
“Eph 2:10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God afore prepared that we should walk in them.”

You see the Fulp family is a work of art of the very hand of God, in Christ for a purpose on this earth, from the mind and heart of God from eternity past. They do the thing that is on the heart of God and this week it was to attend a precious special needs child as she left all deformity, all pain, all sorrow behind her on this earth and got to see Jesus in all His Glory. What a blessing this family is to the children in Guatemala…
Angelita died last night Monday 25 January 2016. As is normal in Guatemala her funeral is today. I go back to a recent blog post about weeping and rejoicing in such proximity of place and time. While knowing life was hard for this child, I cannot address Angelita’s history well. I only knew her a few months. The Vine family saw an expressed need and put Hope for Home in touch with friends at Esperanza Contra Esperanza. A high pressure shunt was placed and Angelita woke up literally smiling… soon though she seemed to return to her prior state. We did not see the prolonged recovery everyone desired. Feeding tube was necessary and recently a decision for a PEG tube was done. Her little body tired of the fight and she went home Monday night.
We do not know what will come. But, Angelita has left a desire in those who were touched by her life, a strong desire to serve challenged children in a real and lasting way. Guatemala is a beautiful country and has a beautiful people, but ironically it is a country hard on women and children. God has given us a command in Scripture to care for widows and orphans… The Fulp’s with a few others, already shine in this category. May the LORD light a fire under the rest of us.

Please pray for the Daryl Fulp family in this time…
In Christ,
Dennis and Cindy McCutcheon
