During a trip with the Director of World Outreach for the Advent Christian General Conference, Rev. Tim Fox said that it is relationships that are important.

Multipurpose room tiledlandscaping cement formsThanks to Leo and Samuel the multipurpose room is now tiled and awaiting grout.  The color of grout that was selected is no longer available and we will need to choose another color.  The room looks awesome even without the grout.  The Brothers (in the Lord) did a beautiful job.

99 Plus 1 Joins Soccer Leagues

soccer1soccer2Not long ago we were approached by a group of young men asking if we would support a soccer team.  It is a group that wanted to play together but needed a sponsor.  The 14 agreed to spend 30 minutes each week studying the Bible with us and commit to practicing each week.  Only a couple of the youth attend a church “somewhat” regularly but agreed that it would be good to learn what God says about attitudes.  Thanks to “Club Dan” we were able to present each with a new Bible to bring and to read throughout the week.  They were excited when we asked them if they would be willing to join two leagues; the brand new church league and the city league.  Daniel Roldan is coaching the team and win, lose, or draw, we Praise the Lord for the opportunity to have a spiritual and positive influence in the lives of these young men.  Some are children of military personnel and so could be opening a door for some ministry in that area as well.  When God lets me know, I’ll let you know.  Meanwhile , rejoice with us in what God is putting in our path to do for His Glory!

Work Inside the Rooms at Orphanage Continues Forward

tile laying 1st flrWhile the landscaping is being started outside Sonshine Hacienda, inside work is continuing as well.  Thanks to Brothers Leo and Samuel the tile on the walls of the bathrooms are complete and the floors in four of rooms are  done completing the tiling in one of the two wings.  We have received word from the Faith Community Fellowship Church in Mt. Vernon, WA that the last of the “extra” door’s cost has been covered by the members of the church during a recent “Buy a Door” campaign.  Lord willing, they will be transported down and installed by Paul and Donna Korneliussen when they come down in September.  As well, KenSue Taekwondo and Trevor Torgeson have donated the material and labor to  construct the second floor balcony railings.  They have chosen a beautiful rising sun theme for the front railing which will set off the second floor while tying the name of the orphanage to it’s purpose.  Trevor has been given the “green light” to build the first of the bunk-beds for the dorm rooms.
