Update on loading for Guatemala- 8-28-2018
1 John 3:18–My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Dear Friends, I want to share with you that the Lord has taken care of the situation regarding shipping to Guatemala and, the Lord willing, we will load on Saturday, September 8th. We would appreciate all of the help we can get with the loading, if you are available. I am often asked how I decide where we ship to. Actually, I do not. God does, in different ways. I have had visitors to visit us and as I took them through the sorting/storage areas, they would ask where the boxes...

Proverbs 16:9—A man’s heart deviseth his way: but the Lord directeth his steps. Dear Friends, Just a quick note to inform you that, due to some unforeseen problems, we will NOT be loading on Saturday. I know that several of you had planned to come help load and I surely appreciate that. If there is one thing that I have learned, it is that we work according to God’s schedule and not ours. Also, His timetable is always better than ours and He has His reason for this. Hopefully we will be loading in the near future—probably sometimes after Labor Day. Be sure that I will keep you...

Philippians 2:3–Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Dear Friends, I hope this finds all of you having a great summer. Our summer has been filled with activities for the children, including the camping trip to Florida. They had a great time and we are always thankful for the Lord making this possible. Sissie and I will be taking Allie to Mississippi College on August 18th. Please be praying for her as she starts school there. One of the verses that is always coming to mind is Proverbs 16:9—A...

1 John 3:18–My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Dear Friends, I have recently been approached about trying to help in Guatemala where the recent volcano, Volcan de Fuego (Volcano of Fire), erupted. At first, after reading up on the situation there, I really thought that there was more than enough aid there. However, after speaking with some who are in contact with those on the ground there, we have found out that they do need all of the aid they can get—not only for the present but also for the future for those who have lost...

Ephesians 2:10– For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Dear Friends, I hope this finds all of you well and enjoying your summer. As usual, it has been, and continues to be busy around here, both with the kids and with helping others as the Lord makes it possible. As you can see, both Allie and Chaz celebrated a graduation this year. Allie from High School and Chaz from the 8th grade at Lee Road Jr. High. We are proud of both of them. This past week, Harold went to Disney World with the Covington...

Ephesians 3:20-21–Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Dear Friends, I want to began this letter with a prayer request. Mrs. Brown, better known as Sweetie, was brought home this week from the hospital with Hospice. For those of you who may not be familiar with the ministry here, it was her husband, Brother Harold Brown, and her that started Fairhaven 52 years ago this past January. Please pray that our...
