INDIA:
God provided enough money through our
VBS'07 project to buy two houses for HIV kids in Andhra Pradesh.
Our family has already moved into the Hebron Home that we bought. It needs some
painting, but it is a blessing to buy a house already built. A down
payment on a second house has been made and by the time school reopens
in June, the kids from Ebenezer home will move into their new home. We are
beginning to build a third home at the property we purchased for that
purpose.

good health.
