Wonderful Worship

Even though the rain was as heavy as I have seen Friday night was wonderful as all of the dorms participated. There were a total of fifty presentations. There was singing, skits, dancing, prayers for one another, praise and Josue' preached on Trusting God. The house parents did…

Bright Future

Tara and Sara gave snacks to all of the girls from the baby dorm to collage girls. Our transition ministry is doing well. We have 6 girls and 3 boys who are in college or working and/or going to collage. Billy and Olga oversee this program. These young…

No masks on campus

We have finally gotten permission to no longer require the wearing of masks on campus. Josue' is having to get a new visa as he will travel to the states to meet with some of our board and make decisions for the new year. It is still raining…

Baby Moses

We are all praying that the judges and government will allow Baby Moses to remain here at Casa. I want to give God praise for how we are finishing August with all our bills paid and no serious problems with Covid. I know that everyone is suffering and…

Drive you crazy

I am going to drive you crazy because I will remind you often we need a staff member to teach Bible in the school. Jim has been awesome and his teaching will be missed. And, of course, we need a person or persons who can schedule teams, transportation…

Sweet

The baby is so small and precious. He will stay with Alan and Brenda. One teenager came to my house to receive Christ.

Abandoned baby

A baby was abandoned at our gate. Josue and Marlon took the baby to the judge. So the baby was sent here. Friday was the last day of classes for the seniors and the joy of accomplishment was everywhere. One teacher bought lunch for all the seniors. To…

Another grandma

My sister is a happy grandmother as baby Luke was born last night. We had a handful of folks arrive. They are not staying very long but it makes the kids happy to see new faces and even a handful of old timers. My daughter-in-law, Lily, graduated yesterday…

Working

Adela celebrated her 24th birthday. She has been Dottie's right hand helper and loves Michele, special needs, and treats her like a sister. I do not know how we could care for her without Adela. She is an excellent university student & quickly moving towards graduation. Duke, Nick…

Jim

Duke and Nick spent yesterday looking for the pieces to repair our welding machines. They have gotten our huge welding machine working after a number of years. After nearly 10 years Jim is returning home meaning we will need a Bible teacher for the school

Duke

Duke from Alabama came here for the first time in 2020. He is now 78 years old but wanted to come see Casa again. We all are getting older but have such wonderful memories of the last decades. We have small teams coming over the next two months.…

Sponsor

My strength is almost fully returned. In fact last night I visited the lunchroom and greeted the children. Today I walked steadily. Being 79 and having Covid was no walk-in-the-park but God is so faithful. I felt well enough today to prepare the sponsor monies for the children.…

Play day

Jim preached to the children today as I will finally get out of quarantine tomorrow. God has been faithful to look over all of us here at Casa who were touched by Covid-19. I cannot really explain how proud I have been of he staff and children as…

Two more

The Lord blessed us with two more children so we are slowing climbing. Dottie and I have done well being quarantined so we will be back on the job Monday. 3 John 2, "Beloved, I pray that you will prosper and be in health, just as your soul…

Students

Proverbs 11:25, "Generous persons will prosper; those who refresh others wiil themselves be refreshed". One of the true blessings of Casa is that all of the college have some chores to help pay their college expensive. The girls help with laundry, baby dorm, kitchen while the boys work…

My mistake

Debbie pointed out that Bubba was 11 months old not 11 years when he came to Casa. I was not thinking correctly when I wrote the update. Honestly i was pretty shook up when Bubba told me about Antony. The Bible team is preparing for the staff Bible…

Bubba and Antony

: Thank you for your prayers. I am feeling much better. Some of you old timers will remember Bubba who was one the children to come to Casa in 1990. He was only 11 years of age. He was always a favorite with the visitors. So many visitors…

Feeling a little better

The Covid I have is mild with coughing and headache for the most part just bothersome. Thank you for your prayers. Our school and has begun for Independence Day so it is loud each morning on campus. Heidi is going dorm to dorm seeking students for her music…

My Covid

It happened! I have tested positive for Covid-19. The college boys have been power washing the buildings. There is a large beehive in the area of the baby dorm which must be dealt with

Casting

Oscar preached for me. His message was on giving everything to God and He will see you through. Psalm 55:22 "Casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you".
