You all should be proud of yourselves. God has been moving here and it’s been incredible to watch. First of all, last Friday, we challenged 12 of our friends to each raise $100 in one week to send 2 girls to school. To make a long story short, the girls have had a rough life and really deserve a good education. As of now, $1430 has been turned in and $200 is still on the way. (For those of you who are bad at math, that’s $430 over the goal!) Alice and Mary-Bo started school today. We know many of you were a part of our friend’s success. Thank you. Your gifts here change lives and we love to tell you all about it.

Henry bought his bike last Friday. He uses it often. A special thanks to Abby’s mom and Michael for making it happen. The money for his school fees is tricking in and someone has asked how they can start paying for his sister’s school fees as well. Like we said, God is moving.

Everyday, we feel like the bond between our communities in America and the community here at L’esperance grows stronger and stronger. It seems like someone is always reminding us that we are in his or her prayers. People we don’t even know ask how they can help fulfill a need. We are humbled everyday by our small faith and the greatness of God’s plan for all of our lives.
This blog entry is more about you than us. Its about what YOU’VE let God do through you. It’s about how your faith in our calling has enabled us to be a catalyst for good in so many situations. It’s about the lives you’ve allowed God to help you change. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. We promise to keep you updated.
