The gang

Here they all are.......whether or not they are all looking at the camera or heaven only knows what they are doing. It is hard to get these 16 kiddos together and cooperate with us for a pic.

As you look at each and every one of these 16 faces please remember that each and everyone of these 16 faces needs you praying for them! So please take one face to heart and pray over them. Whether you know their name or not, God does.

Thank you for the pray warriors that pray for this ministry daily!

Independance Day

This weekend was Independance Day! So all of the kiddos from school got all dressed up and got to march. It is like a parade but they call it a march. So on Saturday we had quite a chaotic morning getting all of the kids dressed and ready to march. In the mist of all of the chaos I did not get hardly any pics, but here are a few that I thought that I would share.
Monica .....................she was a flower for the parade. She luckily did not have to march she got to ride in the back of a truck with the some of the other kinders.

Pamela got to dress up as a teacher. Which meant she just got to wear a lot of make-up and look older! :) She loved it! But the poor girl was in tears almost when she got to me after the march. She and the other school agers had to march from the high school to here close to the house . So those of you who know that is almost the whole Santa Ana road. A long ways.....But anyways Pamela has a bad foot where she got ran over by a car a couple of years ago. So her foot was hurting pretty bad by the time she got to me.

Here is Cindy ready to march as a pompoero.......which is sort of like a cheerleader I guess.
As you can see she is a little anxious and not too sure what to expect, but after all was said and done she did just fine.

Keep at it.........

Never give up

A person who refuses to quit is one whom Satan cannot defeat!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday Dorian

I love ya both!!!!

Hurricane Updated

We are high and dry! God is good. As one of the kiddos got up this morning he said well I prayed and prayed and prayed and look God took care of us. And sure enough he did!

We pretty much had a normal night of rain. We have by far had much worse rains. So we just have a few puddles outside but nothing to be complaining about.

So just wanted to let you know we are OK! Thank you for your prayers!

Hurricane

As most of you know Hurricane Felix is heading our way. It is easy in these moments to kick into panic mode. I am blogging to ask for your prayers. That God covers and protects us and keeps us safe. Right now of course I am worried about our well beings and the kiddos here, but I think of how blessed we really are. Those living around us don't have any kind of shelter compared to us. So my heart goes out to each and every family who is out there who is in danger.

But more importantly I am thinking of those who have a house on hillside that could possibly be swept away within the next 24 hours by mudslides. I think of those who are completely clueless right now and they have no radios and are out in the middle of no where. They do not even have the slightest clue what is coming upon them. I think of those out there with their mud floors, as the rain comes and sweeps thru their homes and their floor becomes a river. I think of those kiddos and adults out there on the streets who are homeless and have no where to run to for safety. They will be in the storm.....literally. I think of those kiddos out there who are in their homes and have no parents and no one to help them. The scenarios could go on........those are just a few to embed into your mind so you can cry out to God on their behalf.

I think of Central America and what is going to take place here in the next couple days. I pray that God covers and protects each and everyone of us. In this time may we hit our knees and cry out to God and may God use this time to change hearts and draw us closer to him.

Thank your for your prayers!

I will keep you posted. But do not panic if you do not hear from us. It could be we have lost elec. or our satellite signal for internet. Just keep praying!

Here are some more pics to enjoy.....

Please take time out of your day today to really really pray for us and the kids and this ministry. We need prayer warriors out there fighting against the evil one.
