So many ways God has demonstrated his faithfulness to me into this ministry over these 40 years.

There were times when we just weren't sure we were going to make it. We got down to our last paycheck.

After that there was no money to pay anyone. I remember as having special prayer time and asking God then out of nowhere a donor's heart was touched noticing God placed it on my heart to send you this gift was able to sustain us until we were able to rebuild so I am not a doubt about the greatness of God's am certainly grateful for all the frenzies given been faithful to her grateful 40 years seen this kind hand.
