Mrs. Terri Scholz spent many days cleaning the teeth of the children at the feeding center.  Did she finish?–No way!  However, she tried to prioritize the children who needed to see an oral surgeon.   Last Wednesday, the dental team spent all day serving in a community.  They came in tired from the week,  but … More Three Pretty Smiles!

When your only means for transportation is walking then your shoes definitely become worn.  For sweet Delia, her shoes are not a fashion statement but a necessity of life.  Several months ago, her school shoes were falling apart and hot glue did not do the trick.    That particular day we were able to find … More Glittery Shoes!

We are watching the bar move closer to our Hallelujah goal!   We need $19, 000 over the next three days to close the Dollar to Dollar Match!  We have watched God move in mighty ways over the past month, and we have stood speechless.  This afternoon, I stood on the side of the soccer … More Almost There!
