Here we Go!


June 6th, I got a call while at New Hope. CDA 
(child development agency, like dcfs in the states) had
a 2 week old little boy at the hospital and they needed
someone to take him in while they figured out his
family situation.
I had a team that week, and a team of 50 coming in the
next week, plus 2 interns that were arriving, and an
audiology team.
But when God commands you to go... you go
So we gladly opened our home and hearts to 
En Gedi's first visitor.
 Welcome Jordain Daniel Morgan!
aka Baby J
 Neiah was beyond excited that Jesus sent us a 
baby. She was able to go with me to pick him
up, and instantly became my 'big' helper
 She was always willing to hold baby J
so I could get things done, and loved
reading stories to him.
 His first Sunday to church
 What most of his days consisted of.
 When he arrived he was so tiny (and a little malnurished)
but by the time he left he had beautiful chunker cheeks.
The face that was made after you kissed on his cheeks

We were blessed with the opportunity to run alongside
Baby J for a month before CDA was able to help his
family get everything figured out so he could be returned 
to them. 
It was hard to watch Him go, but we Praise God
for the opportunity to love and care for him in the 
time he was with us.

Please pray for Baby J and his bio family as
they transition into this new normal, and that above 
all else God's will will be done in their lives.

Welcome To En Gedi





Back in February, after about a year of searching, God provided 
a property for us. It looks rough right now, but the potential is
incredible and I am so excited to see how God will use this property.
Its a half acre lot that has an old house on it (that basically needs to 
be gutted and redone). Its a single story 3 bed 2 bath house. This
property was part of the local bible college, and their former 
presidents house.
We are now in the final stages of the purchasing process
(it takes a lot longer down here then it does in the states.)
Prayers appreciated as we finalize the process and get started
on the construction/ update of the house.
