update


The girls have arrived safely in Kyrgyzstan.  they only difficulty was with the Air Canada ticket agent that took an hour and forty minutes to first figure out were Kyrgyzstan was,then  , if she could check a bag through , if they need visa's for Moscow, if they need visa's for Kyrgyzstan , then here is the clincher , " I have to hand write a receipt for your extra bag because the system is not able to give you a receipt " Grrrr

We knew as soon as they hit the Moscow airport.. Bekah was busy making plans for when they landed , complete with setting up morning Drs appointments for some of the kids .. and arranging meetings for the day ,  she had me at one end , and Jengish at the other.. 

I mentioned a couple days ago that I would give a little update on the projects .. and where they stand ... kind of the state of the union address 

Out reach center project with Vera ... fully funded 
( girls delivered the funds today)
back to school supplies for the orphanages 
and kids we support ...........................$1500 covered  $800 to go 
Tuition assistance .............................$5500 covered  $9500 to go 
Park in the village ..............................$1500 covered $1500 to go 
Hospital waiting, and exam room .......$7500 covered $2500 to go 
Baby orphanage  renovations ........... $600 covered  $1400 to go 
Green house to attach to the bio diesel

Other needs that will be coming up soon 

Winter coal for seniors home , Day spring
Jeremiah house , and families in need .......................$3500
Seniors day celebrations ..........................................$500
Food drops for the seniors home and orphanages .....$2000
looking for monthly sponsors totaling  $200 / month for 
-Jengish 
-Olga 
-Larissa and Tanya 
-Emma  & Bekah and those they are supporting

We have been covering these from our personal salary support, but those coffers are almost empty as well , we are still praying for $1000 / month for our personal support to allow us to keep doing what we do . 

So that's where we stand.. minus a few other needs that I am not able to share at this time .  

We face these needs this time every year, and every year God is faithful .. but we are told , 
"By prayer and petition , make your requests know, then let the peace of God that passes all understanding guard your hearts and your minds" ... I think  its the only way to stay sane, if we could be called that.
