Plans are set


Our friends have their tickets and have their visas and will be leaving May 7 to visit the orphanage. After 4 years we will be finally able to have a first hand report of our dear children and be able to really see the needs and evaluate what else can be done. We have room for two more children in the existing facility. (shown here) So, we are praying about that or if there needs to be some focus on the village needs. Our friend and contact in India oversees 20 thatched roof village churches with many other orphans and a high widow population. Widows in a caste system are ostracized and not able to even purchase food for themselves in public. They are completely dependent on the care of others. Pray with us as we pray for our friends safe travel and wisdom while they are away!

Praying for safe travel

Our sweet friends are preparing for their trip! They will soon be with the children and be able to assess the orphanage and the villages and see what
the Lord would have us to do and how we might be of more help. We are leaving their names out of our blog right now as it could compromise their
country entrance. Jeff was never given Visa clearance and just got his
passport back. We think it has to do with our christianity.

The needs are great, but the children are happy and taught and well fed and healthy. We are so thankful for the DVD and the amazing blessing of watching them perform their tasks. We shared it with our community group on a rec night and have been able to share it with other friends. We thank you for
your prayers!
