New

Well this is my very first blog on this new Google thing. I wanted to set it up so that we could share what is going on with our lives and our ministry. We were just featured this month in Tennessee Christian Living Magazine. We are now into full swing raising our support and speaking at churches, sharing about the awesome opportunity to serve at Casa.

The past month has been very stressful for our entire family. A week after we made the big announcement that we were moving we found out that Carla's dad has stage 4 lung cancer. It is advanced into his lymph nodes. He started Chemo at the first of the month and has another treatment on Friday. Pray for him and his wife. Their names are Carl and Wilma Gann. He is having a lot of trouble sleeping.

Our fundraising project is under way. We sent out about 200 letters. We need 50 families that can commit to $50.00 per month to make it work. If you have not sent your letter back yet please do so. Even if you can not give you can pray. We firmly believe that the only way this ministry will be successful is through the prayer of a lot of folks.

Finally pray for our family. Zach has started home schooling and it has been a tough transition for us on top of all of the other stuff going on. Katie is doing well she is very excited about the move. Then there is the adoption. It seems that the paperwork has sit still for months but it finally started moving this week. We are really hoping that we can get them here before Christmas so please pray!!!

His Servant,
Mike
