Welcome New Long Time Volunteers!





Hello Every. I want to welcome two new full time volunteers. The one on the left is Kayla, and on the right is Suzanne. Kayla is here till December and Suzanne is here until March. We are very excited about them being here. They are very hard workers and have a heart for God with such a passion. The thing about these ladies is that they are in their early 2o's and they have given up their jobs, family and basically everything back home to come here for a few months to help rebuild homes for people. What they have done is not something anyone can do especially at their age. Mose young people are in college, enjoying friends but these 2 have decided to join us and change lives. It continually amazes me how God touches the hearts of young people to do the extraordinary. What they are accomplishing here is not something you can learn in school but first hand experience with helping people not only rebuild homes but help to bring hope to someone that feels like there is none. These ladies are wonderful and strong women of God an I am proud to serve with them. They are like the daughters I have never had. Please keep them in your prayers.

There is another young lady here her name is Jessica she is the other one in the pictures. Along side of her is Mark. Jessica has been here since January and she is very special to us. She has given up her home, family and friends also, but for a lot longer time. We have all told her that God was going to bless her beyond her exceptions. Little did we know how much. Mark was here during this summer for 3 months and they got to know each other. They became friends through the summer and did not expect anything. By the end of the summer they realized that they wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. Neither came here to do anything but to serve and help people. Isn't that just like God to bring his people who should be together just when you least except it. They are so very close to us and we pray for God's blessing upon them. Everyone please keep them in your prayers. I will keep you updated on the details of the wedding and their beautiful like together.

We are all getting settled back into our routines and it is wonderful. I love talking to home owners who are rebuilding and if there is any way we can help, we do. We are a little slow right now because we don't have a lot of teams here . Volunteers are still needed more than ever. Please keep praying about coming and helping. You can make a difference in someones life.

Well until next time..lots of love from Dove and Allen
