First we thank you for partnering with us and being part of the ministry to which our Lord has called us. We ask that the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you. 2 Thes 3:16. And may you be showered in abundance with the blessings from above.
We have been blessed since our return from the states after spending two months caring for Anna's mom. As she rests in his arms, we too have been resting in Him as we have been given new strength and love for where He has called us. Below you will see some pictures to give an overview of what Hes is doing and where He is leading us.
We also ask you continue to join with us in the following prayer requests as we trust in Him and His faithfulness.
