Being without a vehicle, we have been reliant upon others for transportation. Therefore, we have not been able to venture out much. However, God has allowed us to use the additonal time to prepare our home so we can move in. A few days ago, we were able to finally travel to a local orphanage that we have been anxious to visit. We arrived around 1:30 pm. As we pulled up there were several boys with basins under a tree washing dishes.

When I saw the boys washing dishes, my first thought was, "OH THANK YOU THAT THESE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN GIVEN LUNCH TODAY!"

As we were preparing to move to Ghana, we had a conversation with Righ and Kristie O'Leary. We asked them how we could serve them best here in Ghana. Righ quickly answered, "Do something like Shining Stars with the kids there. You know, like we do at Water Angels....
Friends, it is with great thankfulness that we can now say God has provided for our needs. We are now at 100% of our anticipated monthly needed support! WOW! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? Thank you for being vessels of His work by sending us. Your generosity amazes us! Thank you! The Lord's timing is perfect. We are grateful to see Him provide through YOU! Thank you for partnering for HIS work here on earth! "I have received everything in full and have an abundance; I am amply supplied, having received...what you sent, a fragrant aroma, an acceptable sacrifice, well-pleasing to God. And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:18-19
