I wish I had more information to give you concerning Barza Mica. Unfortunately, I have no new news from the director. Will the State take the orphanage away from these young people (my kids) whom I have loved for 16 years? Will God change the government’s ‘hearts of stone into hearts of flesh’ to have…
This is the ‘Love Month’! :) Not only this month, but sometimes I am just flooded with thoughts of all the people I love – too many to mention here. But, included in those is family, of course. I have just spent considerable time with my grandbabies, and oh, how we love each other! And…

O Lord my God, I will give thanks to you forever! – Psalm 30.12b
The ministry is always moving forward. The Lord’s hand was at work in October in wonderful ways. Because of your generous giving, we were able to buy enough underwear for all the ‘kids’ at Barza Mica. Rhonda and I went shopping for this government-required clothing when I returned to the States. They were sent through…
I read this recently from a Ravi Zacharias writing – that for the Greeks, it was knowledge. For the Romans, it was glory. But for the Hebrews, it was light.
