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")

Hundreds of people travel abroad to serve orphans!


The summer is almost here (and not to mention my wedding!!)

We are gearing up for our busiest season, where hundreds of people give their time to love and serve our staff and children. This summer we have 26 teams heading into Malawi, Sierra Leone, Uganda and the Dominican Republic. With teams plus interns, there will be around 400 participants helping to build the Kingdom of God in third world countries.

This means it's time to make sure Casa Bethesda is at its best. When team members come back from a hard day's work in the blazing heat, we want them to be able to take a dip in the pool, eat a delicious meal and get a full nights rest. We've been in search of blankets or bedspreads for our rooms. (Yes, praise God, there is air conditioning). Just this week I got a call back from Rosen Hotels saying they have 40 blankets and 40 bedspreads to donate to the Casa. What an answer to prayer!

Thanks everyone for listening in to hear what's going on. Stay tuned for updates this summer of the great work all these people are doing.
