The Beach

Does anyone have or know of a beach house we can go to for a few days? We would like to take a little vacation to relax and bond with Solomon. He has never seen the ocean or a beach. It would just be nice for us to be able to just relax for a few days together. We would like to go before Jerry starts his new job on July 19. Please pass the word on and let me know asap. Thank you for also praying with us!!

Speaking in Hershey, PA November 5, 2010

We are going to be speaking at the Mid Atlantic Orphan Summit on November 5-6, 2010 at Evangelical Free Church of Hershey, Hershey, PA. Please mark your calendar and join us if you can. Please sign in to their website to register. Solomon and Ellie will also have their own breakout sessions. Ellie's topic is "Engaging our youth to care for orphans," and Solomon's topic is, "Kolfe Boys Orphanage: an Insider's Perspective," Praying many will be encouraged to step out in faith and join in Orphan Care Ministry as a result of hearing and SEEING GOD's work through the miracles He has done.

Solomon's letter today June 15, 2010

Hey my dear mama,
I am also so happy to hear your voice today. I got a call from you just in time of thinking about you. I am surprisingly amazed by that. I was thinking about you this morning and you call me in afternoon. I am sooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky my precious mama. I am always thinking about what my life would look like if God didn't bring you into my life. It looks like this, first I didn't graduate, second I didn't know God and How much he loves me, third I was a man walking with out hope and a future. but thanks to you I am not a man like that now. I have a dream and hope now. and I know how much God love me and take care of me.
Mama these words can not express exactly how much I love you but I can't get better words than this.... I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!!!
love Hugs and kisses always and forever for you and all of my family.
Your Solomon

I thank my God everyday for this precious young man that HE brought into our lives. What a joy to know that he now KNOWS THE SAVIOR and has a new HOPE IN HIM!

Divine Appointments!

When we attended the Christian Alliance for the Orphan Conference in MN last month we made a new friend who works in Washington, DC. He told us if we had any problems at the embassy to contact him. Praise the Lord for Divine appointments! So, we just got a call that our Senators office is checking on the status of Solomon's Visa. Please continue to pray he will get word this week!!! Everything is in HIS Timing & Care! Thank you again to all of you who are on this journey with us.

NO ANSWER YET!

NO ANSWER YET!!The Embassy told Solomon they will call him within the next month sometime. If he does not hear from them, he has to go back in person to inquire. SO, we must continue to pray the people evaluating his file SEE the HAND of GOD in Solomon's life and approve it! Thank you for all of your support and prayers beloved!!
