Still Waiting

This is Vedi, a 10 yr. old orphan living at the Bread and Life orphanage. She is in the 2nd level class. Our workers "homeschool" the children. We have 4 workers living and teaching in the orphanage. Vedi wants to meet Mr. Jeff and Mr. Jim.

Jeff applied Dec. 12 for a Visa to enter the country of India. After the Indian consulate inquired about his reasons, they gave an estimate of 1 to 3 mo. before they would made their decision as to whether Jeff may have a Visa or not. We continued to pursue them and sent 2 reviews of Jeff's character and work that were written by Indian citizens to the Indian Consulate. We heard nothing. We continue to work with Travesa (the courier service), but they are hearing nothing. It seems that they have pushed this aside and are hoping we will go away. They have Jeff's passport and we heard if we withdraw we will not get in at all, so........we wait and pray. Ultimately, this is not in the hands of anyone, but God; so His will be done!


Isaiah 40:15 "Behold, the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are regarded as a speck of dust on the scales"

Gods Grace

About 10 days ago Jeff was approached by a co-worker, Troy Mills, who was given the opportunity to speak to about 400 people in Austin. He wanted to speak about God's
doing extraordinary things through ordinary people. He wanted info. so he could talk
about Bread and Life Ministry! Jeff sent him pictures and scanned a couple of our letters.
It continually amazes how God brings us to the attention of those He desires to know.
Thanks for following the Lord's leading, Troy. Our dear little friends appreciate it so much!

There have been requests to explain on the blog how to help and give to Bread and Life.
I will be adding that shortly.

Prayer for Visa

So, here we are!! We have made it to the web and we are so excited that you want to know about the children in India! Our picture shows 15 children, but by the grace of God and through the help of our dear friends at DaySpring Chapel we now have 18 and are in the process of planning our first trip. The trip was originally supposed to take place in December; however, we are experiencing Visa hold ups and have had to reschedule. We are hoping for a March trip and are praying that God will move the hearts of men to grant the "golden ticket" for country entrance. This picture is Jeff and the man the Lord brought to be his travel buddy, Jim.
