We just received our monthly report that tells us how many people gave financial gifts to our ministry and Dave and I are simply overwhelmed with many people gave.People all over the globe have given.People we knew from college that we have not seen in 8 years, friends of friends gave, friends from high-school we have not seen in over 10 years, family, fellow church members, people we have never met who just heard about our ministry, people we met one time at various churches, fellow missionaries, and so on.We are just so overwhelmed and we thank you all so…

Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. – John 14:13 We are thrilled to announce that Jesus has provided us all that is needed for us to move to Texas!
