This isn’t fair. 1/3 of our staff live on campus so they have been working for weeks while 2/3 live off campus & are getting paid for not working. Next month they get an extra month’s pay. The President made it even harder as no one can travel…

Jim preached for me today. I want to thank all of you who have responded to my call to fast one meal a day concerning the virus. There were 3 more cases in Poaquil so this is still a long way off before we can get staff back…

Try and imagine 250 children locked behind walls & a staff that is at 50% and you will conclude that the walls are closing in. I really am blessed at how well the children have behaved but it I more difficult as each day passes. The teen girls…

We received a donation of 350 masks from Claudia and her husband. I had a little spell yesterday falling twice but the worst thing was as Dottie and I were saying our evening prayer I could not remember names. I mean I could not remember my children, sisters…

Thanks to those of you willing to fast a meal a day and pray that this virus will cease. Pray that there will also be salvations and closer walks with God through this battle. Brother Teddie donated tomatoes, onions, bell peppers & other vegggies. A woman in Santiago…

Mark 9:29 says, “This comes out only by prayer & fasting”. Would you fast at least one meal a day & pray for God to intervene against this horrible plague of COVID-19? If you want to join me just email me at  casa_aleluya@yahoo.com.  We can do it together. 1 in…

Josue, Billy & Heidy have done an awesome job getting food but I saw where Krogers & Costcos in the USA are running low on meat. You realize that much of our food in Guatemala comes from outside the country. We need miracles of food & finances. Next…

The government backed off in that they are not going to cut off electricity & water for those who cannot pay. They did extend the quarantine & the curfew so we are looking at another rough week. The virus cases continue to grow but the death toll remains…

The government is acting like the democrats & republicans in the USA. The President had a meeting & locked out all of his opposing congress members. He wants to cut off all utilities for those who cannot pay their bills. This will cause unbelievable harm to thousands of…

Who would have ever thought that we would live in the time of a pandemic? I am losing sight of what day it is. Being quarantined is certainly stressing & worrying about all of the children and staff at Casa is exhausting. Making radio shows is my solace.…

The children are so bored & without any visitors it makes it worse. They love having their sponsors during these months. All of us that are 60 years old must stay quarantined. As you can imagine in a poor country like Guatemala people are already without food or…

Well, we have come to the end of the month I thought I would never see in my lifetime. I do want to thank all of you again for praying & giving for the children. The children have plenty to eat & are studying on line as well…

A boy delivering pizza was killed for the pizza. People are desperate. In Antigua which is only a few miles from us & where all of the tourists visit now has a rash of home break-ins. There are so many people without anything. Michelle, special needs, had a…

Debbie, my office manager in Lake Charles, said that our offerings are holding steady so I want to thank you all for doing this in the middle of this virus as I know many of you are hurting. I made another 6 weeks of radio shows Oscar, our…

Dottie celebrated her birthday by ordering fried chicken. Georgie & the kids had ice cream & cake for her.  Each year we have celebrated her birthday by taking three days off & she just rests. Not this year! I continue to make radio shows. Bob said we received 9…

When you read this Monday morning I will now be married to a 77 year old beauty. For 3 months Dottie is older than I am. This is her first birthday we have not been able to get away for 3 days in our 57 years of marriage.…

I want to thank the Lord Jesus for His protection over Casa, staff & children. Our state is one of four that is enforcing a stay at home & also prohibits driving from your state to another. The president announced that anyone breaking curfew or not wearing a…

 The children are receiving schoolwork on line as well as some elementary students receiving homework we download. The problem is they are so bored they do a weeks work in one day. There was another death via the virus but that is only the 11thdeath so we are…

I am so blessed with how the majority of the older children have responded in helping us since the government still has a stay at home order. We are putting stress on the small group of employees. There are so many staff members who cannot come to work.The…

Dottie & I have used all of our vitamins & medicines without any way of getting refills since there is no travel. Also I have Christmas cards & radio shows to get to Louisiana. There 316 cases of the coronavirus & 8 deaths here in Guatemala.  Our boys…
