A few days ago Pastor Prabhu contacted me to tell me one of our little girls at the orphanage in Vijayawada, India had boils on her head. After taking her to the hospital they discovered she has HIV. We have removed her from the home. When we have sponsorship for her we have a pastor who will take her into his home.

Pastor Cenor from Haiti also contacted me to tell me he had to take two of our orphaned children to the hospital with illnesses. Also, a hurricane was heading towards Haiti.

Immediately after that I was contacted to discuss some property issues we are trying to settle at the orphanage in Roatan, Honduras.

This is just an example of one morning! I was late that morning leaving for some church meetings in Illinois. I made it in time and the services went well. Praise God! I write the above facts to let you know why I appreciate your prayer so much.

I returned home to the news that two churches had sent sizable gifts to support our ministry to orphans and widows! I was in awe at how our Lord has been one step ahead of us in caring for the needs of these wonderful people. If you are one of our prayer warriors, thank you! If you are one that supports our ministry financially, thank you again!

Last month I had a family of 4 come with me to the Sandy Bay Children’s Home in Roatan, Honduras. It was special to spend the week caring for the children and helping around the home.

This month I go to Haiti for a few days to take care of legal issues with our orphanage there and also begin to make plans for our teams in 2012. It is our desire to help the many families still homeless in Pastor Cenor’s church. If we are indeed going to help build 34 homes, it will take some major prayer and financial provision from the Lord! He has done some awesome things so far...why not ask big! “Call unto me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things...” Jer.33:3. You have heard us quote this verse in the past, and we continue to see Him do great and mighty things! He is an awesome God!!!

Thank you for partnering with us! We praise God for you!!!
