Due to our support normally being only at about 75% of the mission’s standard, our paycheck was extremely low one month when giving was down and ministry expenses were up. We didn’t have enough to pay all our expenses. But God provided, and it was truly a huge faith lesson. Continue

Ministry in South Dallas is an ever-changing landscape of families that move in and out often. Some children we’ve worked with for years may continue with us for several more years or may move out next week.

We make plans but God carries His plans out – and does it very well!
My ministry partner, Leeann Deutsch, had returned home to phone messages from her family: her mom was in the hospital, facing surgery as soon as she was stable enough. Leeann, as her mother’s DPOA, had certain responsibilities that she tried to carry out by phone, but the time came when she felt God was directing her to go home and asked that I accompany her.

Sunday morning I saw an amazing thing – someone’s very first sermon! What a marvelous opportunity to see a church believe in the next generation! What an incredible gift it is to the church when people don’t have to be perfect – they’re just starting out! Continue
