Timothy arrived home on Monday March 16th around 10 p.m. He flew into Memphis and our son, Joel met him at the airport. It was a good trip and a lot was accomplished, yet there remains much more to do. We paid a lot of tuition for the children, bought more uniforms and sandles for all them. Most of the tuition for the smaller children are paid in full for the remainder of the year. We still have some to pay on the older ones. Nancy, aka Mercy, is Everlyne's daughter and after Everlyne's death, Nancy continued on running The Faith Centre. However, we feel we have come to the place that we need to move the children to another facility. So they searched and found a place that seems perfect. It will take $200 a month, but it is layed out good and has better toilet and shower facilities. The owner is building a kitchen and having water run to the house then we will proceed with moving the children there. We have a widow and another Mom that is going to run the home. One of the ladies has even been delivered of drugs and healed of HIV. Thank you for your prayers. We appreciate you greatly.

What a beautiful day
What a beautiful day. We woke up with the shimmering and glistening of white snow dancing on the ground. It is absolutely gorgous. Last night I stayed up late because Joel was traveling on a chartered bus with his baseball team from Alexandria, LA to Memphis. Memphis had reported it had 5 inches on snow and still falling. He said there were cars in the ditch as they were traveling home. They did arrive safely, glory be to God, around 3:30 a.m. So, needless to say, I saw the beginning of our snow falling. It was amazing how quickly it came and the force of the wind swirling it off the roof top. I spoke with Timothy moments ago and he said it is the beginnings of summer there. He had preached in a church this morning he had not been in before and had spent most of the day with our King's Kids at The Faith Centre. From now on, I will not be using the term orphanage. I don't like it and I will be calling The Faith Centre, our children's home. Well, whether you have snow, summer or neither, may your day be filled with lots of joy and blessings from our faithful and loving Lord.

On The Way
As I write this Timothy is somewhere between Amsterdam and Nairobi, Kenya. He was really looking forward to this trip. He had not been there since October, when our precious Mum Everlyne crossed into eternity. Her death came as a surprise to all of us. She had such a huge heart for these children and she is missed. Timothy has some focus points and the main one is to finish paying for the children's tuition for this semester. There will be many things accomplished each day, but when you arise in the morning, you are never sure what The Lord will have you doing or meeting. Kitale, Kenya is beautiful weather all the time, except in the rainy season. The temps normally stay around 75 during the day and 55 at night. It is on the equator, but it has a high altitude, that is why it stays so nice. Please keep Timothy and us that had to stay behind in your prayers. Mega Blessings!!
