I know it is a little late to be writing a happy New Year note but we are still in our first month of 2009. Time flies by incredibly fast these days and I know that if I blink again, it will already be the next year. We pray blessings to you this year and peace to your families. In November we received Hannah's guardianship paper so after 8 months of her living with us, she is now officially 'legal'! A month later we had the social worker come to our house to evaluate the situation and do a report on us. Accordingly, every 3 months for the next year they will come and re-access the situation. Hannah was happy and smiling so that went great! A few months back we received the shocking news that Hannah was diagnosed with a minor case of Cerebral Palsy. This took me by shock although it was not surprising as she did and didn't do a few rather unusual things. Currently she is receiving physiotherapy on a daily basis and that seems to be helping her overcome some difficulties with motor skills. She is nine months old but because she is behind, they say she has skills according to a six month old. Only time will tell how this will affect her in the future but we are leaving her in God's hands. The boys have had three weeks of vacation now and are getting ready to head back to a new school year and back with their friends again. They have enjoyed swimming and playing their new video games as well as doing things boys do best. Gustavo has kept busy with the recent move of the Children's Center. That has taken most of an entire month and he is ready to be done with it. Krista of course keeps busy with her family which is more challenging when there is a vacation from school. Thanks again for the many of you who pray for us on a regular basis and support us with your financial gifts. We are partners in the ministry! < top> |

The Children's Center is maintained first and foremost by God who has sustained and maintained the center open for 7 years now. Secondly, by the gifts and prayers of many people in the U.S. who have felt led to participate in this ministry. And third but definately not last, our dear workers who come to work each day and minister to these poor children. Most of the children are from single parented homes and are able to come during the day and receive not only physical nutrition, but also spiritual nutrition. We thank the Lord for providing us with these workers who give of themselves, day after day for a small offering each month.
Please partner with us to help pay the salaries for these laborers at the center. With the small amount of money that comes in each month, it is hard even to be able to give the workers a little raise. Please join with us to bless them in Jesus' name. <top> |
