Some Current Needs

We have some very important needs in our ministry right now. Some churches take up Christmas offerings for missions, so we want to let you know about these things. Since the beginning of our ministry to the orphans, we have been always in need of support for them. We are in desperate need of regular monthly support for the orphans. This will help us house, feed, educate and take care of our orphans. Even though we are tremendously short of needed funds, the Lord is bringing us three more children. Another orphanage in Phnom Penh has had some leadership problems. As a result, we are taking three of their children temporarily, perhaps permanently. We know and love these children already and our hearts are open to follow God's will in this. We need to raise an additional $1,000 per month support for the orphan ministry. Would you please pray about supporting our orphanage monthly? James 1:27 tells us that "pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction and to keep himself unspotted from the world." Psalm 82:3 tells us, "Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy."

We are still trying to raise about $5000 to $6000 more to finish our building. That's the "big ticket" item. We are so close to being done with this building, but just need that extra little boost at the end. We want to finish off the roof by putting a sloped roof and screening it all in. We need to finish all the bathrooms in the church and get the plumbing finished.

We are also trying to buy a motorcycle. There's a man selling a good, used Honda 250 cc dirt bike for $1,200. We'd like to buy it if the Lord provides. My wife would use the van we have for the family and the orphans, while I would use the dirt bike.

Please pray about helping us with these needs. We do appreciate it very much!
