Please Pray...

Fred & I are leaving for a pre-mission's trip to the Door of Faith Orphanage in La Mision, Mexico (just 40 minutes south of San Diego). We're going to arrange and confirm all details for a June 2014 trip for our church family to participate in; where we will be serving at the orphanage, building homes for families in great need, feeding the homeless and worshiping with fellow believers in a local church.  We ask you to pray for us as we travel and for open doors for this outreach ministry!

Blessings!  Laura Keener

We Comfort...

Karen Ross has been moved to a hospice care facility in Palm Springs.  Please pray that she is filled with peace and comfort!  Chita Britcher and Sharon Wren have taken such sweet care of Karen this last year.  They even moved Karen (and her dog) out of her home so she could move in with Chita for 24 hour care.  What precious friends!

We Will Pray...
Joann Hassett is going in for a knee replacement on Wednesday. Please lift her up in your prayers for a successful surgery and complete recovery!  We know Dick will take good care of her, along with their daughter who is here to help.
