I have been at this spot too many times in my life. Starting with our first child who passed away then followed by our next 2 children dying also. When we adopted Tony and then Chad we were so blessed. Miraculously God soon gave us Elizabeth, Tanya, Becky…

My heart is so broken as Keyser who was just sent home a few months ago has passed away. He was the longest living dialysis patient to be raised at Casa. We all loved him so much, but Aroldo was like a father to him, so he is…

You cannot understand my joy today. At 11pm the judge sent us 4 children. They are ages 4,5,6 and 8. We have not gotten hardly any children over the last year. I want to thank my Lord for His faithfulness, and I pray this is the door opening…

I was so blessed when Teddie, a pastor from Grand Bay, Alabama texted and told me he first heard of us through KAJN located in Crowley, La. He, his church and his daughter, Diedra, have built a beautiful ministry in Guatemala. It warms my heart. Also, Jerry from…

This has been a very busy and long month. God has provided many activities and much of the Word of God. My heart is saddened today as I realize a large portion of my life has come to an end. The more than 40 years I shared the…

The viilia (prayer and worship) from 6:30pm until midnight went very smooth ending the evening with pancakes. The baby dorm and then the dialysis children performed dance and song and always bless the other children. The Buen Pastor boys woke up early and went to a water park…

: Last night one of the younger buys walked on the tin walkway to retrieve a soccer ball and fell hitting his head severely. We had an ambulance come get him and rush him to the hospital. Praise God! By 10 pm he was released. All the board…

The entire board was able to come so we began our meeting Thursday morning. In the evening, we laid hands on Makko and Alejandra dedicating them as the new directors of Casa. So it was an historical evening. For the first time since Dottie and I began Casa…

:The board is here: Ted, Mark, Estella, Me, Jessica, Dottie and Kristi. We saw yesterday that giving is an action of love. The second thought that I have on giving is we give because of gratitude. We are thankful for His love and His mercy. Mercy is associated…

Michelle´s eye exam went well and her vision is improved. There was a wreck in front of them when they were returning to Casa so they were very late making Michelle very tired.   We have so many Estellas that Estella #4 took care of Dottie while Adela…

After such a sweet visit with the children who came to church Dina and Nancy called and wanted to take Dottie to eat. These two girls were so special arriving at Casa on the same day from two different villages. They both graduated in specialize nursing earning degrees…

:Marlin came to church, and I was so blessed having not seen her in months. Bubba, Grieselda, Oseas, Jonathon, Blanco and Roberto came to church.  It was so wonderful to see kids who were raised here and listen to them tell me what God is doing in their…

Ted, a board member arrived yesterday as we will be having meetings next week. Dottie has trouble sleeping after midnight and the problem is she throws the covers on the floor and then is cold until she can wake me up. Then she just laughs and laughs. I…

Adela and Estella The sixth truth about a follower of Jesus is that we will love Jesus more and more. Mark 12:30 “And thou shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart, soul and mind”. We must guard our minds and attitudes. In the world we…

I had tremendous heart pains last night, so I woke up Dottie and asked her to pray for me. She couldn´t understand. I still have the heart pains. This morning, I shared my testimony with the second Tennessee team led by Lisa who has been here multiple times.…

Lisa from Tennessee has been coming here for more years than I can remember. She has always brought great teams. The second truth about following Jesus is that a true follower of Jesus prays. Jesus began everyday with prayer. Luke 6:12 says Jesus went up the mountain to…

Matthew 4:18-20 says “And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee saw two brethren, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net in the sea for they were fishers. And Jesus said “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And straightway they left…
