Fairhaven Update – March-13-2018
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...

1 Cor. 15:58– Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. Dear Friends, Just a short letter to inform you all that, the Lord willing, we will be loading a container for Israel on Saturday, February 24th. We would surely appreciate your help if you could make it. As usual, we will have breakfast about 7:30 and start loading at 8 or so. One of the questions I am frequently asked by donors, and others with whom I work, is how do we know that supplies we ship are...

A couple of weeks ago I was wondering, as I always do at the beginning of each year, just what the Lord had for us in this coming year. Well, He is starting it off by answering a prayer of mine. As most of you know, we are open to ship wherever the Lord directs, opens doors, and provides. However, in the past few months I have had a real burden and desire to ship another container to Israel. Then, as of last Saturday morning, He opened the door to do this. If He is willing, we will load either the last of February or the first part of March. Should any of you desire to help meet the needs in...
Read MoreThe Path That We Have Trod
This book, “The Path That We Have Trod”, was written by my mother in law, Mrs. Harold Brown, but known to everyone here at Fairhaven as “Sweetie”. I had wanted her to write this introduction, but her health is not good at this time. This book is simply the story of the path of life that she and her husband, Brother Harold Brown, shared from the time they were very young until God led them to start the ministry to children. It describes their walk of faith for so many years and some of the trials they faced. As with everything that is accomplished through Fairhaven, whether here or halfway...

Dear Friends, I knew that it had been a while since I sent out an update, but until I just checked, I had no idea that I had not sent one since September. I apologize for this. Praise the Lord, we are all doing well here and it is as busy as ever. I am going to attach a letter I wrote recently (click here) and you will see that we have 4 new boys with us now. We never know what the Lord is going to do around here! Also, the Lord is sending food in new ways which is being distributed to those in need. Although it adds to the work, we are thankful for the opportunity to be God’s hands and...

Luke 6:38—Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Dear Friends, This is just a short letter to express our appreciation to all of you who have prayed for, and contributed to, the flood victims. We had an outpouring of generosity and I am sure that most of us can’t imagine what those supplies mean to people who have lost everything. As you can see from the pictures, we loaded the supplies this past Sunday...
