We just got back from the hospital and Samuel and Carrie are fine. Carrie is very tired, and very sore, but generally okay. She may be released tomorrow, but we have to wait and see what her doctor decides. Samuel is eating and sleeping and doing everything he is meant to be doing. Ashleigh is … Read more

Since Monday we have distributed around 3000 Beacons to the community. We have covered a lot of ground but still have around 2000 left to give away. I appreciate LaGrande and Brandon coming over to help us this week with this work. It was also good to have Peter, Stephen and Sam getting involved.

Ballyclare is a relatively large church and has a good foundation. The pastor, Stephen Boreland, is a very good friend and has been a tremendous help … Read more
