Red Letters

As of this afternoon we have received $10,695 for the February Food Drive Project! Thank you for your gifts toward this important project. I'm also happy to report that one of our planes has already left for Ethiopia (pictures below). We have just $2,430 left to finish off this project to send 120,000 meals to…

Yesterday we received $8,005 toward the February Food Drive for Ethiopia and Swaziland. Thank you friends! The cargo plane is ready to take off and deliver 120,000 meals to orphans we serve. Thank you! We still have $5,120 to go to finish off this project. A few hours after yesterday's post, I got a call…

Friends, I need your help this month to deliver 120,000 meals to Ethiopia and Swaziland. The food situation in both countries is dire, and I'm asking you to help today with a gift. Last month, Children's HopeChest walked right into the food crisis in Ethiopia. While I was leading a team in Swaziland, I received…

I knew this month was going to be brutal, but this is getting ridiculous! I've had a great day and a half home with the kids, but I'm off to Edmonton to speak at Breakforth. I'll be taking Gracie, my 7 year  old for some father/daughter time. From Africa in the dead of summer, to…

What an amazing day today! We found another brand new care point called, Mhobile. A wonderful place filled with 90 vulnerable children and orphans mostly under the age of 12. The first kids I met were a precious family of three who are alone because both of their parents have died of AIDS. You hear…

Just back from our first day at carepoints in Swaziland. A day filled with many highs and lows. Highs because the first orphan village we visited is sponsored by our church, Vanguard, in Colorado Springs. So many great things are happening there. A playground has just been put up, the kitchen is finished and operating,…
