Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 Praise God that the hearts of Sharon and Morris are now filled with hope! The children are staying with the mother of one of our field staff, Bonny, and are joyful! After hearing of their situation, Bonny's mother offered to keep the children with her, even for an entire year, to prevent the children from returning to their grandmother. I am so thankful that God hears our cries...never will I leave you; never will I forsake you. Hebrews 13:5b Wes and Jackson continue to work on gathering the necessary paperwork for the children's application to Otino-Waa orphanage. It appears that the next section of housing at the orphanage will be completed in a couple of months allowing space for more children. Sharon is currently on new medication for the tuberculosis and cannot be accepted into Otino-Waa until she is "in the clear" regarding the TB...we assume that would be in a couple of months. So, it looks like the timing is perfect, however there are many children being assessed for acceptance into the orphanage. We need to continue to pray for God's hand in the situation.Again, thank you for your prayers! Sharon and Morris are like two new children now...smiles never-ending. (The pictures were taken at their new home).
Love to you all, Keira

My heart goes out to you Keira and those you're there to love. Bonny's mother must be an extraordinary woman to be willing to foster Moses and Sharon for an entire whole year. Their “new” smiles are intoxicating. :D
Please stay safe. We miss you.

1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses.
Paul's charge to Timothy, as Timothy began his ministry, still holds true today. Your witness is a testament to the love that God provides through his children. What a marvelous experience to be used as a tool in His hands to build His church and fulfill The Great Commission.
Your devotion and passion for those an ocean away from us has a powerful and inspiring effect on us back home.
Love,
Chris and Tonya
I am truly blown away by your incredible gift of love and support and prayer that you are showing those that desperately need it.
You and those who surround you will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care of yourself and stay safe.
