Fairhaven Update November 17, 2018
Dear Friends, It is my prayer that letter finds all of you well. Besides the normal viruses and colds that go around, we are doing well. I have, in the past few days, been contacted by people who are working in both Florida and N. Carolina. It seems that the needs are overwhelming in many places but I was contacted regarding winter clothing and coats. So, I decided to do what we have done in the past and just put the word out and let God do the rest. Those who have contacted me are also very concerned about the children in these areas and whether or not they will have gifts at Christmas....

1 John 3: 10-11, 18—10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother. 11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 18 My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Dear Friends, It is my prayer that this letter finds all of you well. Since my last letter, my mom has passed away and we surely miss her. However, she was 89 and was able to take care of herself until about 5 days...
Read MoreGuatemala Loading Saturday, September 8th.
1 John 3:18– My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth. Dear Friends, A note to remind you all that, the Lord willing, we will be loading this Saturday, September 8th, for Guatemala. We plan to have breakfast as usual, at 7:30, and start loading about 8. I know that this is a busy time of year for so many of you but your help will be greatly appreciated. For those who can’t come and help, please be praying that the Lord will send the help we need and that He will be glorified through the loading of the supplies and also through the...
Read MoreUpdate 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...
