Homes of Love

AMAZED During our meeting last night I was blown away at the questions the board asked us.  They have poured over information we brought to them about setting up orphan homes.

Fullness We have had little Internet these last few days. I am now sitting in an Internet café to get this off to you. So much has happened. It has been a week full of God, great hope, full of despair, full of new adventures….just very FULL! Full of God: I have never seen such [...]

We are seeing God put all kinds of things together. Oh Man….I was blessed today. Today we listened as someone almost perfectly verbalize (in a  African dialect) a dream God has given them and it is just like the one he gave to HOL. We  watched as hearts were knit together in union for a [...]
