Please lift up Sharon Warner as she leaves for a two week medical missions trip to Huacho, Peru.  Pray for health and safety and for people to have open hearts as they hear about the Lord.

Continue to pray for Evangeline St. Clair doing missionary work in the Philippines and Jim & Annie Leonovich who are doing missionary work in the Ukraine!  We pray the Lord will use all of them to disciple many and bring glory to God through their work.

Mexico Orphanage Outreach!

Here are a few pictures from our trip to the Orphanage and of the homes being built for those in need in La Mision. 

Some of the beautiful dorm rooms for the 120 children at the orphanage.

 The new house built for a family of 5 who were living in 1 small room in their grandfather's home.

 Julie blowing bubbles with my husband Fred...or Fredrico as she called him!

 It took everything I had not to bring this baby home with me!

 Here's an example of the home a family lived in prior to new home below!

The team who built 4 homes in two weeks...all from a church in Iowa!  They have done this for 12 years straight and we loved getting to know them.

Wishing all of you who are on vacation and travelling a wonderful, restful time away.  It' s been hot and humid here in the desert...counting the days until Fall already!  

Continue to pray for Evangeline St. Clair doing missionary work in the Philippines and Jim & Annie Leonovich who are doing missionary work in the Ukraine!  We pray the Lord will use all of them to disciple many and bring glory to God through their work.

Fred & I had a wonderful, safe, inspiring trip to the Door of Faith Orphanage in La Mision, Mexico two weeks ago.  We're starting to confirm details for a June 2014 trip for our church family to participate in! Serving at the orphanage, building homes for families in great need, feeding the homeless and worshiping with fellow believers in a local church will be a life changing experience.  Blessings!  Laura Keener

Nanci Kovak's mother, Beverly passed away recently and we share in her loss.  The knowledge of knowing for SURE that they will meet again in heaven gives us peace and comfort. 

Don't forget to be praying for Evangeline St. Clair as she is doing missionary work in the Philippines.
