Well, we have had a very busy Spring raising money for the completion of the orphanage in Higuey, Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic. In April, we participated in the Belk Charity Sale. We also had two massive garage sales. God always provides 100-fold. It’s such a blessing to see Him work!
The orphanage is built and the wall around it is going up. We need to pay for some legal fees and the ground around the house needs to be leveled so it’s safe for the children to run and play. We need to buy bunk beds and other furnishings for the house to make it a home. We cannot wait to see the progress when we visit later this month.
We leave for our summer mission trip on June 29. We are going to check on the orphanage, buy the furniture needed to furnish it for the children, and see the progress of the building, wall, and grounds. We will hold Vacation Bible School for at least two groups of children (50-75 per group) and do food distributions of rice, beans, and pasta. We plan to visit the prison in Higuey to take food and water to the inmates, who are often given no food or water for days at a time. We want to provide the hope of Christ to these lost souls.
We are so grateful to everyone who has helped us get to this point! We appreciate all who support the Belk Charity Sale, help us with the garage sales, or come to shop. We thank those who donate money or items to help us raise money to meet the needs of those we are called to serve in Christ’s name. We thank our church sponsors: Oak Harbor Baptist and Missionway and our individual supporters. We couldn’t do what we do without you! We praise God for the help and support.
