New beginnings

This is what it is all about… rescued lives! It is so thrilling to see a mom and her child being reunited!

Kanaan and his mom after their reunion

When a mom exits prison and it’s obvious that she is determined to make sure her life stays on track to become the mom her child needs, well that’s cause for a huge celebration. And when God becomes part of the equation, anything is possible!

Just weeks before they were reunited, Kanaan’s mother gave her heart to the Lord! And she means business!

Just recently, our staff were able to witness her commitment first-hand as they travelled to Birmingham one Sunday morning to be present for mom’s baptism. It is such a joy to be a part of the rebuilding of lives through the grace of God!

Kanaan’s mom joyfully declares her faith by being baptised!

There are challenges and adjustments ahead for little Kanaan and his mom as they step into a new beginning together. Please join us in praying for them!

A Meeting 23 Years in the Making

Many years ago, when the first residential building at Adullam House was being built, we found ourselves needing an attorney to help establish us legally.

A group of volunteers from a local church had come to help frame up the building, and during a lunch break, we were introduced to a gentleman in the group, Jason McCartha, who was an attorney. We shared our need and he said he would pray about helping us. He called us back some time later and said that during a morning devotion time, he and his wife had read in the book of James about “pure religion” being to “care for the fatherless,” and the Lord had put it on their hearts to step in and provide the legal counsel we needed.

With Jason’s help, we were able to have a key meeting with the heads of the state organizations we needed to work alongside and… Adullam House was legally established! After so many years of prayer, we were finally able to step in and rescue those who needed us most. During this pivotal meeting, we received news that a baby was actively being born and would need to come to Adullam House. God is always on-time!

That baby did come to Adullam House. He had some serious health issues and the doctors weren’t sure if he would ever walk or talk.

Fast forward twenty-three years, and that young man, Logan, is now married and has just graduated university with a B.S. in Criminal Justice. He received a scholarship as a student athlete—YES—the baby doctors said would not walk! God goes ABOVE and BEYOND!

Logan will be taking his LSAT this fall to enter law school. Can we just thank God for His faithfulness?!!

Recently, on Father’s Day, Logan and his wife met Jason, that same attorney who helped pave the way while he was being born! What a special moment. Only God writes stories like this.

Thank you to those who have prayed, given, swung a hammer, or rocked a baby. You’re in this story!

A Message from Angie Spackman: God Never Fails!

Every Christmas for the past several years, the Beasley Allen law firm and Mr. Tom Methvin have sent a large financial gift to AIM. It comes in the form of stocks. Words are inadequate to say how grateful we are for their generosity, which has often—no, regularly—been our lifeline in times when donations are low, yet we still need to feed and care for typically about 90 children, plus staff, who are totally dependent on our support.

We usually try to leave this source of help untouched until the last few months of the following year. We have learned to do this because at the end of the year we face our leanest months and in those months we slowly withdraw a third of that donation every four weeks, until it is all gone. This way the Lord has sustained us and our AIM children annually and the miracle is nothing short of, well, miraculous!

This year has been different. Just like the rest of the community, the purse strings have been tight. As a result we have already had to draw on those funds throughout the year at critical moments.

Last month I was so struck by the unfathomable goodness of God! A call came in from Mr. Methvin’s office to say that an extra gift was being mailed that day. We were surprised and delighted. This had never happened before! Sure enough a much needed gift of just over $4,000.00 arrived in the mail and we thanked the Lord for His mercies and paid some urgent bills for our kids in Africa. As the poem says: He knows, He Loves, He cares, Nothing this truth can dim. He gives the very best to those, Who leave the choice with Him.

The story in Scripture about the Widow of Zarephath has blessed me so much lately, especially this verse: “The jar of flour was not spent, neither did the jug of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD that he spoke by Elijah.” (1 Kings 17:16, ESV). Her obedience to God’s Word saved her life, and her son’s life as well!

Perhaps His plan is that our new thrift store (which opens next week as we write this) will begin to bring much needed funds. We are working hard to get it ready because there are a lot of lives to touch in Kenya, in Moldova and here at home. He has never failed us yet… He never will!

August Needs List

Pray, Give, Believe!

Please pray with us that God will meet these needs and consider how you might be a part of that provision! Right now, we are believing God for:

• Security cameras for our main campus

• A new baler machine for our thrift store — this machine allows us to get revenue from items that otherwise wouldn’t sell. Our current baler is well-worn and has been repaired too many times.

• There’s an ongoing need for diapers (especially size 7 right now) and unscented wipes. (You can also check our Amazon Gift Registry under “Adullam House Nursery Wish List”).

• Two new A/C units for our on-site chapel.

• Current staff needs (nursery workers, teachers at AIM Academy, and workers in the AIM Thrift Store). Pray God sends those who will carry the heart and vision of the ministry!

• Continuing help to provide food, housing, clothing, transportation and schooling to our children in Alabama, Kenya, and Moldova.

To help today, please call us at (334) 514-3070 or give online at aim.world/donate.

Thank you for your support!
