Pray for our Jr. High Students

Keep our students, counselors and Pastor Ben in your prayers this week as they are away at camp at Forest Home.  We pray the Lord will touch each life in a special way, empowering them for His 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.

We Are Family....
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.
