Needs

Dear Friends,

I sit here with alot on my heart and mind for the people. Jamie and I are doing what we can everyday. But there is a few needs that have been coming our way and we want to open it up to all of you to see what God wants us to do.

The Chaplin of the hospital has approached us with several burdens on his heart. He too is trying to help as many as possible but Satan has his hands in everything making life really difficult. There are a few families that are struggling to get their children into school. Sounds just like the states right? Well the difference comes in where the cost is, $32 a year. Jamie and I have helped some but now that school is starting this need is coming up more and more.

Another need here is medical care. There have been so many needs in this department. I could walk outside any day and find several people that need medical care. But so many do not go because of no money. The Chaplin himself has three children at home that are sick. This morning he had to just choose which one would get to go to the hospital. The other two just wait until the money comes in. The unfortunate thing here is that in the meantime if they have malaria it will continue to get stronger. The longer you wait the more aggressive the treatment has to be and so of course the more it will cost. By the way, the one boy that got tested was positive with malaria and it was 3 times higher than what Cory's results were.

The reason I tell you all this is that Jamie and I are doing what we can. We feel like God has sent us here and we want to help when we can. Our hearts say do it all. But the problem comes in with enough money. We just want to open these two needs up to all of you and see what God does. If someone feels they are being impressed to give, praise God! Just send us an e-mail back to let us know what you are being impressed to do and how much. All of our funds are being run through Harrison Seventh-day Adventist Church. You can then send a check to the church and specify to them what it is for. By the information you e-mail to us, we can take care of the specific need from here. Thank you all for your support for the mission we have in Bere. God should bless you all.

Love,
