Dear Praying Friends and Supporters,

Another great quarter has past! God continues to place people on our

path to share our hearts in reaching children who need a place of rescue in

their lives. While we await for our trip to Guyana to arrive in August, we

are busy sharing our ministry to raise more support for it. This process

gets long and tiring, but it is so necessary. The needs of children are always

endless and we can’t do this alone. In our travels we always meet the right

people who God wants to partner with us in this Ministry. This past quarter

we met a gentleman who has just the perfect home-like facility in

Batesville Mississippi in which he is selling, yet desires it to be used for the

Lord and wanted us in it. He practically cut the price in half for us and is

leasing it to us for 3 years to raise the funding for our ministry to purchase

at a later date. This is perfect for a Stateside Headquarters (since Guyana’s

gov’t won’t let us live there full time as of yet), and for us to use for a

Children’s Home too. God laid on our hearts a Boys Home, on behalf of

our two boys we adopted years back. They have special needs and are

mid-teenaged years now with a desire to serve the Lord in our ministry

some day. Considering their future, a Boys Home for them would be much

better than a Girl’s Home for them to serve.

Our daughter Rachelle and her husband TJ have now moved with us to

this facility in Batesville, and are helping us set it up for the Boys Home.

We are training them to do all that we do, so that when we go to Guyana, they

will remain back and be sure the Boys Home is being overseen. We can house 6

extra boys as is; but with a little renovation of 3 existing rooms to add bathrooms,

showers, more sleep area and a school room, we will be able to house 16

boys, praise the Lord! All the beginning stages have begun and hope to have the

first few boys in within a month or so. Pray for the boys and the families that He

will be sending.

This past quarter we were able to work with some Inner City children from

downtown Tampa for a few weeks, and we also served in many Junior

Churches, and Kids Clubs and saw several people surrender to full time

ministry and to do more for Christ. Please pray for these people that they

will stick to their commitment to the Lord. Please pray also for this dear

couple we’ve led to the Lord a few months back who we’ve been discipling

Paul and April. They have a child together and lived in sin until last weekend,

and the Lord laid on their hearts to get married to make that right

before Him. Also pray for a girl named Brittany who got saved and we have

been discipling….she needs to let go of her past so she can move on.
