Autumn update

So the gang at ROG have had a busy summer.
They moved to a different part of the apartment complex that they were in.  But it is a 2nd floor apartment now! Which equals less steps!
That was killer when we were there.  Walking up and down 5 flights of stairs anytime you wanted to go out!
I’m thankful for that awesome blessing.  Imagine taking kiddos with Josie’s needs (or more!) up and down all those steps.  Every day.
It makes our “hardships” here seem insignificant.
They do not say to themselves,
‘Let us fear the Lord our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains in season,
who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’
Jeremiah 5:24
They have been given another baby to be in charge of for a season.
They named her Yora= Autumn Rains.
And she is precious.
But only 2.1 kg= 4.6 pounds!  Tiny but seems healthy!
Yora 11.03.13 (2)Yora 11.03.13
Please continue to pray for them. 
**For protection.
**For continued favor with the gov’t that the orphans can be fostered and not placed in the orphanage.


“Ebenezer is still living as far as we know.  We saw his orph director a couple months back.  He brought a group of men to our house to see what we were doing.”
**And for wisdom and opportunities to share God’s love to those around them.
**And that DW and his wife will make the choice to follow the Good Shepherd.
Please pray for us that we'd keep on the straight and narrow and follow Jesus to the end. There are many opportunities for us to reach into some needy areas with the Good News. These are doors for effective service in seeing disciples growing and multiplying.
May we not forget those who have counted up the cost and are following Jesus under persecution.
He IS INDEED worth it.
But it isn’t without hardship or heartache.
Let us not forget!
