KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

KEEP THE DREAM ALIVE

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog. You may be wondering why this is titled "Keep the dream alive" and I hope you are. Just this month, for the first time since I began working with COTN, I realized that after my paychecks this month I will be in the red - meaning, I will have a negative balance in my account because I do not have enough financial support coming in to cover my part time salary. You can see on the left how much I have monthly and how much I need total. That means I need another $565 per month committed. That's a lot! I know it can be done though.

I am praying, and will continue to do so, that God's will is done. I love being a part of this ministry and wish to continue here. Especially since I sit in the Dominican Republic as I write this. Maybe God is calling me away from COTN, and if so then I trust Him. I don't feel that calling though. I feel called to push through and get the funds raised that are needed.

(please keep reading in post "Keep the dream alive")

Hands on Haiti

For those of you who don't know, Children of the Nations is doing all they can to assist in the recent earthquake in Haiti. This tragedy left hundreds of people injured or dead. Families were torn apart. Some amazing things have been happening, though. People all over are stepping up to help in whatever way they can.

-Over $55,000 was donated in the first week
-10 teams of medical professionals are scheduled to travel down and provide care for the victims, with many on the waiting list
-A 40 foot container full of Medical supplies will be shipped down next week from Washington state
-As of January 20, more than 300 children had come through the hospital

Tons of people work tirelessly down there every day to see that people are receiving the medical attention they need. Feel free to follow on our website and hear the great things that are happening through this devastation. There are also pictures up and stories of the children.
