Legal papers

Fernado, Esvin, Estella and Mario and families When Josue' took over as director of Casa we discovered that my Legal Representation had expired. It took until yesterday to get my legal papers completed which took over 4 years. This means I can sign in every area in case…

Mystery

My update did not publish Tuesday morning at 4am. I cannot understand why. That is three times in a week. I hate computers. It appears that we have found a contractor to build what will be months of demolishing and rebuilding the dorm the government said we must…

The updates

I have had problems with the update publishing on line to you. Today I will finish the book of Jude and begin the book of Revelations for the radio. They will play in April 2025. I love radio teaching. That was what sustained us when we first came…

Bread oven

A special blessing arrived. It is a large bread oven especially for banana bread. Only Cristine is still in that USA as the staff begins returning from short vacations. Estella with her brothers Fernando, Mario, Esvin along with their spouses and children are taking a three day holiday…

Soccer

I ministered on the power of the tongue and lying. God hates it the Bible tells us. It can destroy families, relationships, etc. There have been heavy rains the last few days. We had a very hyper 10 year old come recently and he was a handful. He…

Returned

Two siblings who were sent home last month were returned to us at 11pm last night. We have a few teenagers who took the booster earlier this week who have mild symptoms. Again it is Josue who has reacted the worse. We need sponsors. Alan and Brenda are…

Blessings

We were blessed with 25 laptops for the college students. We also received a financial gift to purchase all new mattresses. I took a "me" day as I did not feel well. I listened to sermons and Christian biographies. That is by far the best medicine. The new…

My hair

We received a new little boy last night and he appears a handful. That is something I want to ask all of you to pray for and that is more children and more staff. Psalm 127:3 "Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from…

New teachers

Josue' and Estella took Dottie and myself to breakfast. I am continuing to make radio programs for the future and just finished the tapes for January 2025. I love teaching in English. Because of Covid the Department of Education has offered jobs to our teachers and four will…

Hair cut

Brother Teddy brought us 10 pounds of shelled shrimp and two crawfish pies. It was so good that I dreamed of crawfishing with my Grandpa. Dottie had her hair cut which is a big day for her because I like it long so she had to change my…

Adoption

Josue, Estella's husband, preached for me this morning. They have such a strong marriage and are raising their children for the Lord. Even though she has an MBA she has chosen to teach in a Christian school in Jackson, Tn. The Casa children are still talking about the…

Visitors

Adam came this morning with a team from Virginia and our children loved having visitors after so many months of having few folks due to Covid. Our son, Tony, took his wife, Lily, and me out to lunch for our birthdays. Dottie tagged along. High School Graduates

Another Girl

Praise God we received a new child last night. Today we gave to the 11 high school graduates their graduation suits. It means so much to these seniors to reach this plateau in life. I suppose you can imagine how difficult it has been on the children and…

My heart rejoices

Matthew 19:14 "Jesus said, Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these". Every time we receive a child especially a very young child my heart rejoices. It tells me that God trusts me with…

New children

God blessed us with two new children. We are so blessed that God trusts our staff to give life to children by sharing the Word, praying with them and giving them an opportunity at a future. Psalm 127:3 "Children are a gift from the Lord: they are a…

Aroldo

I began months ago teaching book by book in the Bible on radio. I am now in the 60th book which is I Peter. As of today I have lessons taped until August 30, 2024. Aroldo has been asked to speak before the medical staff in the largest…

Old age

When God said that life is like a blade of grass here today and gone tomorrow it truly is the truth. How did I get to 79? Psalm 92:14 "Even in old age they will still produce fruit, they will remain vital and green". God keeps sending us…

Cooperation

We had preaching this morning but no singing or children's church but we should be back to normal next Sunday. I shared with everyone in Bible that I am so proud of how the staff and the children have cooperated the last two years. With Covid abounding the…

God is good

I went to the city with Josue' to purchase school supplies for the college students. I have not left campus more then 10 times this year. Spending a lot of time studying! I believe we are down to two children with Covid. So many of our older children…
