On top of all the pressures we have had the courts sent another 5 children home. I cannot figure out what the government is doing but it feels like a personal attack. We cannot take children during the pandemic so I am praying and fasting for 100 new…

As bad as the hurricane was my son, Chad, rode it out. Trees fell in our yard but did not hit the house. The Lord blessed us!  But Lake Charles was devestated.  Bob, Felipe & Nelson are working on a water line in the floor of the kitchen. We…

My son, Chad, stayed to ride out the hurricane in Lake Charles so as I write this update Wednesday night I have no idea as to how he is as well as our CASA offices. Our offices are less than 2 city blocks from the Calcasieu River. Ike…

Our sister-in-law, Linda, passed away after years of suffering with ALS. She had asked me to perform her funeral & wanted me to do a little dance because after nearly 3 decades in a wheel chair she would be dancing before the throne of God. Dottie & I…

Have you ever lived in a time when Christians need to be praying & fasting more? Hatred between political parties, riots, sexual identification confusion, abortion, the economy, COVID-19, church services not being held and students unable to study are a few of the problems. How about the fires,…

One government office told us that UNICEF is the one behind sending children home. We are praying God will send us 100 new children after the pandemic is over. Thanks to all of you who keep thinking of us financially. All of our bills are paid thus far.…

We have been given a commercial printer by a government agency because they were told about us by CNA the main government office for children. The inspection concerning the child who died in another home went well. The pressure continues to build on the children during this pandemic.…

We had a 5.2 earthquake during the night. There does not seem to be any damage.   I spent the day literally listening to sermons and Christian music. With all of us cooped up for 5 months it means we leaders need to pray and fast.

Covid-19 deaths in Guatemala have reached 2,389 with over 62,500 cases. Josue had to go to the government office to share with them what happened to a child who left here & was given to her mother who sent her to another home & that home sent her…

I spent the day in the visitor’s dorm praying because I have no doubt that Christians need to be praying because this virus is out of control. Also we have redefined marriage, sexuality, abortion and are sinking in debt. Christians need to fast & pray. 2341 have died…

I want to thank the few people who have sent me a story of how they got to Casa, an experience here or some other antidote for my book. Heidy says she will stay until January before leaving for surgery in the US so we need a couple…

Josue’ did a good job of preaching to the children from the Psalms. He spoke of living for God & receiving spiritually, emotionally & psychologically & using that to break the generational cycles of sin & negativeness in their families.  There are 2211 virus deaths. We are still…
