Dayana Dottie and I need your special prayers. Her physical situation of not being able to walk, hydrocephalus and the oncoming dementia weighs so heavily upon us, and it is clouding our future. I have been studying how to stand in battle. Never could I have imagined Dottie…

Dottie and Ana  Ana came to Casa 23 years ago. She is possibly the most neglected child to ever come here. She finished high school and stayed on to work for Casa and after all these years she is leaving. I will never forget her words on her…

Caterin We are all praying for the restoration of Casa. As you know when Covid hit in 2018 we had over 300 children. Fear among government officials caused them to remove many children from hones like ours and even close homes altogether. Then they passed laws telling us…

Benjamin Dottie had another rough night, but she just squeezes my hand and prays with me until it subsides. These episodes are becoming more frequent, and it breaks my heart t see her suffer. Each team that comes I ask to come lay hands-on Dottie and she is…

Alison It is so nice to have the Michigan team here. It is a father/daughter trip and that really blesses me. I remember a large church from Fayetteville, Arkansas sent 25 pairs of mothers/ daughters for a week and the following week the fathers/sons came. The feedback from…

Roxanna The 10 high school seniors received their dress suits as they begin their practicum. So I have a picture with each of them. They each must find a job in line with their future dreams. I wish that we would have had that opportunity in 1961 when…

The English speaking Bible class. My sister and three friends from Baton Rouge were taking a trip to Nova Scotia in a camper and yesterday, 2 weeks into the trip, their jeep caught on fire and the camper burned also. No one was harmed but the jeep and…

Heidy and Candida. Friday was a huge day for the children and visiting family members. We even cooked steaks and sausage, had games and allowed the parents to stay here from 8am until 3 pm. I have not been asked to write letters to the US Embassy for…

Dottie needs Adela and Julietta helping her stand with a walker. She cannot move alone. But they love her so much. Amalfi was one of our first girls and is married with a son, age 22, and a daughter, 18 years old. Hard to believe. She married a…

Julio and his family Julio 1 came here in the mid 1990s and was raised here before becoming an adult and moving to the United States. He married and had two children. When he was about 6 an older boy ran away and took Julio with him. I…

Our daughter Candida and Mami Julietta, Dottie´s therapist, told us a sad story of which I did not know. Alex left Casa years ago and was in a motorcycle accident 4 years ago. He was in a coma and could not walk even after coming out of the…

Registered nurse Candida. We are so proud. You may remember Candida who is the young lady who when I asked the children many years ago what they wanted for Christmas she answered, “I want you to adopt me”. She has been a wonderful daughter, a solid wife and…

Michell and Lilly with birthday girl Aria Julietta and Adela concentrated heavily on Dottie´s legs and feet. She is retaining more water lately and that is a very bad sign of what is happening in her brain. The little girls in Esperanza upstairs came and prayed for Dottie…

Feeding Quique 24 years ago. The photo of Dottie and Quique doesn´t give you the entire picture. There were 6 children 2 years old and younger 24 years ago when this photograph was taken. My wife is the real deal when it comes to serving God by serving…

Dottie wanted pizza for Mothers Day. The ladies had a Mother’s Day moment with Dottie on Friday then we went out to eat for Guatemala´s Mother´s Day on Saturday and finely there was the USA Mother´s Day on Sunday. I blessed Dottie again, so she had 3 Mother´s…

Surrounded by people who love her : Today is Mother´s Day here in Guatemala. So after seeing the doctor we took Mami for pizza. She has not felt very well the last few days. She wanted to talk so we began a discussion at 1:15am and ended after…

I honestly believe we could not survive without Adela. Michelle´s eye is not any better. There is a chance that it will continue to deteriorate. We can use your prayers. Also, Bubba who came to Casa 34 years ago is in a battle also. His wife was pregnant…

Kimberly with us Adela is such a strong and wonderful Christian. I cannot image our present situation with Dottie if Adela were not here. She has been an angel to Dottie and me. I do not have any idea what we will do when she graduates this year…

After being ill for two days I woke up feeling much better. I saw Shirley on the highway and picked her up. She graduated from college and is working towards her masters degree and needed paperwork from Xenecoj. So, I took her. Shirley is one of the greatest…

Julietta is Dottie´s therapist. : The laboratory results came back all negative. I have no problems with kidneys or any other organ. The doctor believe I eat too many bananas and cheese so that will be easy to adjust to. Although Dottie´s legs are not improving her hands…
