THE BUILDINGS ARE NOW UNDER ROOF

Dear Friends:

Thank you so much for your gift just received.  By the time you receive this we will probably be back in Tlapa.  We are in staff training, guiding in the construction project, preparing for a visiting youth group and getting ready for annual reunion in August.

The girl’s home directors resigned.  Pray as we replace and retrain this precious couple.  Staff changes are difficult, but needed as the Lord leads.  Special anointing and calling is needed for this work.

In the summer, we paint, fumigate, repair roofs, and do general maintenance in every area of the buildings.  It is also a time when the children are allowed to return to their pueblos for a few weeks and it has become a time of great fruit bearing.  In special prayer meetings they bare their hearts with pointed prayer for each other and their lost parents and loved ones.  The testimonies are heartwarming.

New uniforms are being made for all of the children.  It is an exciting time of the year.  Pray that this dream will continue.  We will be receiving many new children by faith…Pray that I will find support for all of them.  A monthly gift of $75 provides hope for not only the future of a child, but the chance for eternal life for a generation.

In His love,
Mike Patterson

PS:  We still need help with the air conditioning and furnishings for the new construction ($8,000 total).  We are hosting a four-day tent revival, along with the Alumni Reunion, August 8-12.  Pray for a great harvest.  We need a sponsor of about $5,000 for the event.
