We now have orphans living in our home in HONDURAS and we are in the process of identifying additional children who will be coming in May if we have Sponsors for them. We are opening the Home in phases, and with each phase, we are able to bring 20 children. This creates an opportunity for those interested to change two lives – YOURS and THEIRS!. If you are interested in sponsoring a child in our newest home, please contact us immediately. Please e-mail Vickie at vickie@ctlight.org
KID LIFE IN
KENYA!
We were able to introduce a wonderful children’s church program to our children from Life Spring Church in Rockwall, Texas. They loved the upbeat songs complete with video and motions as well as the games, verses, and lessons. One night we did the entire service at Joshua’s church and invited the community to attend. Many community children and adults were there and were equally thrilled. Many committed their lives to Christ! On another night, as Greg taught the lesson, a bug actually flew down his throat! The bugs were especially thick that night. The lesson was on bugs – butterflies soar and caterpillars crawl. It was a great illustration! 🙂
CARRY THE LIGHT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY EXPANSION
Our school has been expanded and now includes kindergarten through fifth grades as well as a nursery school. We are happy to have more than 80% of our children in our school. We are able to provide a better education for them than they receive in the overcrowded and undersupplied public schools. Every child has a textbook to use which is so much better than the 1 book to 4 students ratio the public school offers. Our classrooms have been freshly painted and school is in full operation. We have taken a financial leap of faith in increasing our school by 3 grades. Please consider donating to our education fund to help with the cost of desks and textbooks.
UPWARD IN
KENYA!
Our football (soccer) team was very excited and blessed to receive soccer jerseys, balls, and other goodies from the Upward program at Cornerstone Assembly of God in Rowlett, Texas. Not only did our boys get jerseys, but they provided enough for the community boy’s team as well! There were big smiles all around as we watched them play their first game wearing them. For the record, we won!
NEW ARRIVAL
Our assistant director, Phillip, and his wife, Evelyn, welcomed a new baby boy while we were in Kenya in January. I am so honored his parents chose to include my name among his. What a blessing it was to be there during this most special time!
