Psalm 37:4—Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Dear Friends, Just a short note to share a blessing with you. Yesterday, Oct. 11th, the Lord finished providing for the shipping shipping costs (about $10,500 by the time we pay for clearing customs) of the container for Romania. I guess that one of the greatest blessings we have here each day is seeing how the Lord always provides if we will only do our part. I am always thankful that He looks beyond how we act and feel sometimes and that He does see the desires of our heart. It is good to...

Genesis 12:3–And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. Dear Friends, First, we want to thank you all for your continued prayers and support of the ministry here at Fairhaven.

John 13:34-35— 34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.35 By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. Dear Friends, It is difficult to believe that it is only 2 weeks until school starts back. It has sure been a full and fast summer vacation for the kids! We just returned from Florida about a week ago. The Lord really blessed the trip. It was hot, but we only had a couple of days when it rained a little and that did not slow the kids down at all. They had a great time...

1 Samuel 12:24 Only fear the Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you. Dear Friends, As I have told you in the past, more often than not, the countries that need the help the most are the ones that are the most difficult to help due to the corruption and bureaucracy. I have had an interesting past few days in regards to trying to help in Croatia/Serbia. We have had about $1200 to come in designated for this need, then had many cases of water, baby foods/supplies, and some other things. Then, a few days ago, a church in Texas called...

1 Corinthians 15:58—-Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, for as much as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. Dear Friends, As you will see from the pictures, end of the school year has been very busy this year. Sissie and I have attended 4 graduations of our children and grandchildren–everything from Kindergarten through High School. Along with the graduations were the parties, taking the graduates out for dinner, plus Sissie working seeing to all of the ball games and practices. I think there was...
