Fairhaven Update – May 5, 2012
Dear Friends, It is our prayer that this finds you all doing well. Although we often face very difficult times, it is always reassuring to know that the Lord is still in full control of everything. We praise Him for His faithfulness. Container number 71, for Romania, was loaded last Saturday morning. As always, we had plenty of help and all went well. ETD for US is May 3. ETA for Bremerhaven, Germany is May 23, ETA for Arad, Romania is June 1st. Since most of you have never been here for the loading of a container, I am attaching more pictures with this letter so that you can see the work...

Dear Friends, Isn’t this often true of us? We pray, ask the Lord for so many things, then He answers our prayers, continues to bless us beyond measure, and then we take it all for granted and never thank Him for all that He does for us. I know that I have surely been guilty of this many times and I am thankful that the Holy Spirit always convicts me when I do this. I have visited so many places where people have absolutely nothing, as far as the worlds goods, but had such a heart for the Lord. I try to never take anything for granted, and often ask Him to remind me to be thankful for...

Dear Friends, I wanted to update you on God’s faithfulness in providing the funds for the container for Romania. As of now, we only need $2100 to have the amount needed for shipping. We are praying to be able to ship in the next 2-3 weeks. Thank you for your prayers and help in this matter. We are so thankful and praise Him for making this possible again. This will be container 71 for which He has made possible for Romania. Also, as you can see from the pictures, the kids cleaned the pool this past weekend and now are enjoying it. I can assure that the water is still very cool. It sure...

Dear Friends, As always, thank you for your continued prayers and support. The Lord continues to bless and protect the ministry and the children here at Fairhaven. We always praise Him and thank Him for His faithfulness and goodness toward us. I am always sharing with people, living here at Fairhaven may often be very tiring, but it is certainly never boring. As usual, at this time of the year, many of the children are on Little League teams. This year, they are spread over 7 teams. I assure you that it takes some coordination to be sure they are all at practices right now, and...

Dear Friends, It is my prayer that this finds all of you well. Besides a little virus that has been going around, we are all fine. We continue to praise God for His faithfulness and His provisions each day. Often, I will look back, at the end of the day, and think of all that He has brought me through, and how He miraculously met needs when I did not think there was any way that I could keep going. He is always MORE than faithful! In the devotion with the kids this morning, I was sharing with them about how we treat each other, and those we come into contact with each day. As they asked me...

Dear Friends, At last I am sending a few of the pictures of children receiving their Christmas Boxes and some of the older people receiving their Joy Bags. If the Lord is willing, and I can get my part done, I am hoping to have some video of some of it on the webpage in a few weeks. As I look at all of the pictures/videos I have rcvd, I am thinking of all of the work and sacrifice of so many of you that made this possible for those who received. I am often reminded of the quote I read somewhere that stated “The best intentions never fed anyone who is hungry or clothed anyone who is...
