When we returned from Cape Town, we had an update on our donations received in March. Wow, it was an unexpected amount and what a blessing. We are very humbled by your generousity and really appreciate it. We are not fully funded and have been having trouble getting everyone set up who wanted to support us as we are in Africa and can't just visit or call everyone :) Yet, God is faithfull and has provided some unexpected donors as well as friends who are supporting us more generously than we expected. God is proving once again that He is in charge and He is going to carry us through the next 4 years and 7 1/2 months (but who's counting, right). When we bought our tickets without reaching our goal, it was a big step of faith for our family, as we have always been blessed with stable jobs. We know things may get tight as we get further along, but we know that if God wants us here, He will keep providing. Thank you for your help and pleasing God and blessing us with your giving hearts. Beautiful Gate is blessed by each of you.
While we were in Cape Town 4 new babies/ toddlers were brought to Beautiful Gate. We are up to 50 children now which is the highest since we have been here. Also, while we were away a few of the children in the preschool came down with mumps. Everyone is doing fine and healing, but they could use some prayers for good health as autumn is here and it gets cold in the morning and at night. Change of season can bring more runny noses and overall less healthy kids.
