Some of the King’s Favorite Children
Dear friends, Thank you all for your precious prayers for our ministry here. God continues to bless us in an abundance of riches that could only come from the King! Last week we shared about some of the children from the community we serve and their first time at camp. If you missed that post […]
First Time at Camp (Part 2)
Dear Friends, Back in October we asked prayers for a really special event. Seven of the children of the single mom’s from the Joana Bezerra community we serve were heading to their First Time at Camp. Thank you SO much for your prayers!
