Visitors in July!

Danny and Dianne Groves, Teri Kirby and Terry Lynn Stephens from South Carolina and Linda Tanner from Florida visited in July. They brought a table saw and tons of baby supplies. Before coming they shipped a ladder, ceiling fans, painting supplies, tools, screens and all kinds of other stuff. On top of all that, they worked SO hard

The first priority was safety for the children. Danny replaced almost all of the screens on the babies' windows, replaced the door at the top of the stairs, repaired the gasoline generator, and lots more. Kervens was Danny's apprentice handyman and learned a lot besides having the time of his life.

The ladies sorted and put away supplies and clothes, cuddled babies, did all of our mending , painted the hall, trimmed our overgrown bougainvillea, and much more.

We had a great pool party for the kids Sunday after church and celebrated several birthdays. Oh, what fun We are VERY grateful to this wonderful group.

Finances

Our funding comes through Christian Light Ministries, Inc. in Jacksonville, Florida, a 501(c)(3) corporation. CLF deducts 5% for its administrative expenses, currently $420 per month for my medical insurance, and then deposits the rest in my bank account.

CLF does not raise funds for me or their other missionaries. They simply funnel donations through to us and make sure we are doing what we tell our supporters. They provide receipts and 1099s to donors. I am directly responsible for raising my own support.

The children's home here operates just like a family at home. All funds go into the pot and we meet everyone's needs from the pot. Infants, sick and malnourished children need more expensive food than healthy children and need more staff to care for them.

We need about $7500 a month for normal operating expenses, rent and other large expenses. I believe in transparency: questions are welcome.
