Wow!

We just received our end of the month statement from Global Outreach about our support, and we were SO ENCOURAGED! We are now at 28% of our one-time need! Monthly support is a tricky thing... We do not know which gifts are intended to be ongoing monthly, annual or one-time support unless we or Global Outreach receives a commitment card or monthly EFT form, or if you just tell us. So as far as we know, we are still around 23% of our monthly need. We are SO THANKFUL for all of the new support that we received this month! We are still looking for about 145 more families/individuals to join our monthly support team at $10, $25, $50, $75, $100, $150 or $200. Any amount of support will be greatly appreciated! And again, THANK YOU to all of you who have already joined our support team! To celebrate, here's a photo of some happy kids at GSF!

Video about Good Shepherd's Fold

This excellent 5 minute video was made by a family who adopted from Good Shepherds Fold a few years ago. A few details are out of date, but in general this video gives a great picture of the work there. The one comment I want to add, is that the missionaries at GSF are working to make the ministry more self-sustaining through the farm, but they are still currently dependent upon the support raised through the missionaries who serve there and the child-sponsorship program.
