How To Fight Your Battles

JANE’S CALLING AS A DEBORAH 

It might surprise people familiar with Jane and her family’s longstanding ministry that she didn't grow up in the church.  However, she did sense God’s presence at various times in her youth. “When I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Savior at the age of fourteen, I had a deep sense of divine destiny within me that there would be more to my life than going to college, getting married, and having a career,” she remembers. 

By 1978, Jane was a 16-year-old who wanted to know God’s plan for her life.  As she sat in her room one day, she prayed and then waited on God, not knowing what to expect.  She says she was amazed when she heard His Spirit speak to her.  What He communicated, Jane says, was that His plans for her were not the plans she’d made for herself: “Instead of going to that (secular) college, I am going to send you to Bible college.

When you get there, you are going to meet a man and you will get married young.  I will send you to the nations of the earth.  Sometimes he will preach and sometimes you will preach because I'm going to make you a team in ministry."  She looks back at it as a calling to be a “Deborah-like” leader in ministry.  

Jane attended Bible College, met and married Tom Hamon, son of Christian International Ministries founder, Dr. Bill Hamon, and entered ministry. God led her into ministry, and she says His leading has challenged, comforted, and instructed her along the path of destiny.  "I longed to impact history, not for my name or fame, but that God would be glorified, souls would be saved, women would be empowered and even nations could be transformed by the power of God,” she says.

FIGHT TO WIN

After decades of ministry, Jane has watched countless others endure spiritual attacks, oblivious that it’s even happening.  With a desire to open our eyes to the thief who is robbing us, Jane decided to write her latest book, Confronting the Thief. The focus of the book is helping readers discern the truth, overcome loss, and reclaim what has been taken from them. Sadly, Jane says that so many believe the trials and hardships of life are normal.  She calls it the “just life” mentality. 

The Bible specifically warns us to “Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Peter 5:8, ESV). 

Jane shares practical advice to:
1.    Identify the Enemy's Tactics: Hamon outlines how the "enemy" attempts to steal, kill, and destroy your life.
2.    Enjoy Restoration and Recovery: Giving guidance on how to move from feeling like a victim to becoming victorious over life's challenges.
3.    Take Practical Steps to Reverse the Damage: With biblical teachings, prophetic insights, and practical decrees and prayers, Jane shares how          to move from a passive approach to an aggressive approach—confronting the enemy and taking back what he’s stolen from you.

A Miracle for Mallory

Mallory is a single mother of four. During the pandemic her husband abandoned them and she has been working hard ever since to support her children. Many times there is only enough money for them to eat once a day. “There are nights when we sleep without eating,” said Mallory with tears in her eyes. “For me it is so painful to watch my kids when they have nothing to eat.” 

To earn money, she sold rice with a boiled egg, a traditional Peruvian food. She only earned a dollar per meal. “I only make enough to buy breakfast. There is no food for lunch and sometimes dinner. I'm afraid they might get sick from not eating well enough.”  

10-year-old, Daniel, is adorable! He is also the oldest of the four kids. He worries a lot about his little brothers. “I feel pain inside when I see my brothers cry from not having enough to eat. We don't have enough money.” 

Additionally, their wooden house was rotting and in danger of collapse. “I am afraid at night that my house will fall and that my brothers will die. The walls, the boards, everything is rotten,” Daniel told us. 

So Operation Blessing provided some help. First, we built Marllory and the boys a new house with a kitchen, bedrooms, and a bathroom. “We feel safe now!” said a grateful mom. “My children sleep peacefully in their own beds. Before we had nowhere to eat. We ate on the floor. Now I have my own dining room and I enjoy it with my children!” 

Next, we delivered appliances and food that allowed Mallory to expand her business selling food right from her new home. “I am so grateful to God and to everyone who gave us a new house and everything for my business. We are moving forward thanks to you!”  

And Daniel was happy for another reason: “I am happy because we now eat 3 times a day!” he said with a grin. “And my dream of a new house with everything in it has come true! Thank you very much and God bless you!”

In The Midst of Tragedy: Trust

“He was one of a kind; not just as a father, but just as a man in general. We were best friends, and I couldn't have had a better father son relationship / He was more than just a hero to me.”
 
Blake Faulkner adored his father, Brian. In the fifteen-year-old’s eyes his dad was invincible, so when he learned Brian was hurt in a motorcycle accident, Blake believed he would recover.
 
‘I'll go see him at the hospital and sit with him for a couple hours and we'll talk. And I'll tell him he is not riding the bike again.”
 
Blake soon learned it was a lot more complicated. His dad was critically injured, and after ten days in the hospital, was declared braindead. Despite their prayers for his recovery, there was nothing more they could do.
 
“I went from, everything's gonna be okay I'm gonna be able to talk to my dad again, to he's gone, and just wanting to go talk to my dad at that time. But, you know, knowing I couldn't just tore me up. And it just angered me really bad. I didn't know how life was gonna turn out for me now 'cause he was my everything.”
 
Blake also questioned God.
 
‘“When I started praying more-- I felt like that's when I got the bad news and all this other stuff. And then I had the pastor tell me, everything's gonna be all right, and then I have more people telling me everything's gonna be all right, and I just felt like I'm just sitting here getting lied to, God's not wanting to help me out.  I blamed God. ‘Just why God? Why are you doing this?’”
 
In spite of his anger, Blake put on a brave face and began to attend church regularly.
 
“I wanted to go for my mom 'cause in my mind I wanted to be there for her. I knew I had to be strong. But it was, it was very hard to do that. And I was like, I just, I, I'll go, but I just don't think this is for me.”
 
Outwardly, Blake made a profession of faith and, at seventeen, was baptized. Inside, he was still angry and wrestling with doubts…and grief.
 
“I didn't have my best friend. I didn't have my mechanic. I didn't have my teacher, my influence. I lost my hero, you know? And, it's just, it was, it was hard for me to move on from that. I didn't wanna pray. I didn't think God was listening to me.” 
 
The following year, Blake moved out and got his own apartment. He shut God out completely and turned to drugs to try to find peace.
 
“I just constantly felt lost and constantly felt like there's something missing. Let me find this, lemme try this. Whatever I could try to do just to fill that void and make me not feel like I was.
 
It didn’t work and a few months later, Blake realized what his dad would say.
“‘I looked in the mirror and I said, ‘Wow, I've let you down. Wow, I'm a disgrace.’ I just felt like it was kind of the end of my rope. And I was like, I'm just gonna go to his grave and apologize and, you know, say a prayer. And I remember sitting there saying, “I'm sorry, Dad. I've really messed up. I've really let you down. I don't think I'll ever be the man that you are. And I'm sorry.”  I said a long prayer, asking for God for peace, asking for me to overcome these burdens and help me just be whole again. And it was just like a overwhelming peace just came over me. And right then I was like, ‘I'm gonna be okay.’ And it (laugh), it almost felt like I had someone touch my back. It was like, “Hey, step up. Everything's gonna be okay.” I knew that was the Lord.’”
The peace he felt let Blake know God was with him and heard his prayers.
 
“When he showed me that, that's all I needed. I just wanted him to talk to me. And he did. That is when I knew that it's time I needed to get right with the Lord.”  
Blake got off drugs, and completely surrendered his heart to God.  Not long after, he joined an apprenticeship program to become an electrician and, later, married. Blake is amazed at how building a relationship with his heavenly father has healed his heart.
“I'm waking up early, I'm doing devotions, I'm having my quiet time with God, and you know, any morning I skip that, I don't feel right. Whenever I pray, I feel peace about it. Nothing eats me up anymore because the Lord knows what he's doing and whatever he does is what's best for me. And I have to know that. And I do. The Lord always delivers. He does. And he's been good to me.”

Let the Children Play

“Well, we left our hotel this morning. It was still dark outside, and we took a plane to this small town called Kitale. We are at a project called Embrace. Orphan's Promise has been involved here for a number of years, and there's a great work going on with street children. Some are sleeping in a bed for the very first time, but immediately upon arriving, the message of God's love is shared with them.” Terry

“When children arrive here, we embrace them. We love on them, protect them, and teach them about God. We also have guidance and counseling sessions where they have a chance to share their stories. “ Danson – Manager at Embrace

Over the years, 7,000 children have come through here, and over 1,000 of them have been rehabilitated, taken into families, and released into futures of their own.

“Last year was a hard year for my family. My husband passed away at the end of July, and there were many friends and donors to Orphan’s Promise who sent financial gifts. We said, "Let's do something that would honor and be a tribute to him." My husband was a big athlete, a lover of all sports. So, we began to pray, "God, if there's a place that needs a soccer field, show us where that might be." In my mind, I'm not going to lie, I was saying, "How do we find a place somewhere in the world that needs a soccer field?" Right here in Kitale, where Orphan’s Promise was already well involved in the work, one of the founding fathers of this work had a piece of property. He looked at it every day and just said, "God, in my heart, I would just love to have a really wonderful soccer field there." But, of course, there were no funds for it. “ Terry

“There was a desire in my heart, "God, it's my dream if you will have the field here." I just started praying I did not share with anyone. We were just dreaming about the soccer field.” Vitale – Director at Embrace

“Our Orphan’s Promise person who manages this part of Africa spoke to him, and he said, "This is an answer to prayer." It was also an answer to prayer for us because God is so faithful. He never gives us anything that He doesn't ask us to turn around and hand back to other people when it's a blessing. This is the best soccer field in all of Kenya, we're told. I'm so honored to be able to have my husband Andy’s name on it. One of the things we wrote on the plaque was, "It's not whether you win or lose, it's how you play the game," because we're teaching kids moral and character lessons here that matter in their hearts, which they didn't get because they didn't have a fair beginning.” - Terry

“I think how happy my husband would be that these boys will have men amongst them who know Jesus, who are going to be dads for them, who are going to be sitting on the sidelines in these bleachers, cheering them on, and just giving them a sense of their own value. You know, there's so much that you learn in sports that's valuable in life. Being part of a team and the value of practice, letting someone else win and being okay with that. You know, we all get to win, and we all get to lose at various times, but the attitude we do that with makes all the difference in the world. So, I knew we were coming here to do this, and I was very excited about it. But just a couple of days before we left, I was going over my schedule, and I looked at the dates. I had nothing to do with planning this, and I thought, "Oh my goodness, we're there on the 6th of June. It's my anniversary." Today would have been our 43rd wedding anniversary. So, I can't think of a better gift to give my husband than a soccer field in his name and in his honor, that's going to touch the lives of thousands and thousands of children..So, there you go, honey. Happy anniversary. And God, thank you. Just thank you. God is so good, isn't He? How He orchestrates things that we could never do ourselves. He's got a plan, He's got a purpose, and we get to be a part of it. How great is that?” Terry

“Right now, I believe we will be able to attract more kids from the street. This field will serve these people and also people from the community. They will be able to come and play on this field. We will build relationships with them, and we will share the Gospel with them. Thank you, Orphan's Promise, and everyone who supports this ministry. I am so happy and blessed that we can do this together with you.” - Vitale

I see lines of people coming here. This is just the very beginning. I'm so grateful to think that God has allowed Orphan's Promise to help grow it, to make it bigger, and to invite, to say, "Whosoever will may come."  - Terry
